Facing UTG shove w/ AQ.

This line kind of confused me, This was the 5th hand of the session with no stats on the villian. Was this a correct fold or an overbet bluff? i think with AK/AA/KK he would've 3bet me, so all i can really think of is 44/22 or a desperate JJ. Any input?


UTG: $16.94 (169.4 bb)
Hero (MP): $16.63 (166.3 bb)
CO: $9.85 (98.5 bb)
BTN: $16.40 (164 bb)
SB: $6.41 (64.1 bb)
BB: $9.73 (97.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Q:spade: A:spade:
UTG raises to $0.20, Hero raises to $0.75, 4 folds, UTG calls $0.55

Flop: ($1.65) K:club: 2:club: 4:heart: (2 players)
UTG bets $1.10, Hero calls $1.10

Turn: ($3.85) A:heart: (2 players)
UTG bets $15.09 and is all-in, Hero folds

Results: $3.85 pot ($0.25 rake)
Final Board: K:club: 2:club: 4:heart: A:heart:
UTG mucked and won $3.60 ($1.75 net)
Hero mucked Q:spade: A:spade: and lost (-$1.85 net)

I have no idea what villain is doing.

I'll start by asking you though why you 3bet this hand?

Why'd you call flop and fold that turn?

I wanted to see where i was at in the hand so i 3bet there. If he 4bet/shoved i would've let the hand go. Alot of times people will flat the 3bet w/ no high pocket pairs so i could narrow his range a bit. Is this not a position to 3bet?

I called the flop with the intention of bluffing the turn if he checked, or gave up if he bet & i completly missed.

However i folded because the bet screamed either monster or complete air, For $15 i was not going to find out without having a read on the villian.

I prob 3bet this pre, we have AQs and hands that crush us often 4bet from utg, so when he calls I feel good we're ahead or that he has a pair that he folds if he doesn't hit set.

Fold flop, he donks right into you so ace high is probably losing, and even when we're ahead he's gonna have a billion outs vs our hand. This flop + his donk = life sucks, fold. Floating this seems bad, if he has a set, good luck trying to make him fold when if checks a club turn, and if he hasn't got a set he prob has a flush draw, I guess he might c/f this on the turn but then we're prob ahead anyway so we'd be bluffing with the best hand.

As for the turn, I can only assume he thinks you have AK and he has this beat.

^^^^this is not a good reason to bet

What a overbet? In fact the hands that make some sense is 44,22 or AK ..but if he is a 44/22 he could have some range of bluffs but if we know the dynamics of him is better to avaliate but maybe fold in this particulary case is the best way
