3 hands later I get AQo and get capped by the same munchkin. Flop comes Q high with 2 crap cards. He checks I raise and get checkraised, I 3 bet he calls. Turn comes crap he donks, I fold.

It's pretty easy to read these guys live, it was a good fold as he was kind enough to show me he hit two pair on the flop with Q7o.

Your turn fold was NOT a good fold. From your description it's obvious you're playing against a retard and folding TPTK is something that you don't want to do. Also when your hand is good enough for a 3-bet on the flop it should be good enough for a raise and certainly a call on the turn when it's just a blank card.

Here you probably made the right fold from a FTOP view, but I think it was an error given his hand range.

It was a close mistake which I never would have made online but live this guy was leaning forward, and looked like the cat that just swallowed the canary.

It was way too much of a natural reaction not to know he had me beat, with 2-5 outs likely I just didn't think it was reasonable to call down.

I made one other instinct fold based on a read and I guessed right there as well.

Next time I hope to be more comfortable and play less emotionally, but at the same time I am not sure that ignoring my subconscious telling me strongly to do something that goes against the grain is the proper thing to do.

My thought was he just hit a set of 7's at least, but more likely had KK, AA or QQ.

The only one worth continuing on would have been KK. It just didn't feel like a wa/wb situation to me.
