bilbo,
3betting light vs fish is indeed a bad idea. But here:
1) you have AQ, and its for value vs fish and can get TAG to fold a better hand, so its fine.
2) fish is the caller, not the raiser, I find they fold more when they didnt raise themselves

what better hand is he folding?
[/ QUOTE ]
PP's for a start, plus hands with good equity vs you, plus we build up FE for the flop where he folds AK and loads of PPs

I 4-bet with AK preflop nearly always against someone I suspect is 3-betting light, ESPECIALLY with the fish in the hand. I suspect I push AK fairly often.
Any PP I call with is one that I am looking to showdown with. It's true he'll get me to fold small PPs, but he also gets me to fold worse Aces, which is terrible for him, because I am very unlikely to CB the 3-way pot unimproved (since the calling station is involved), so he really wants us both to see a flop if I have something like A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
