Hero ???

Villain is 38/9, and seems fairly aggressive.
What's in his UTG raising range here that I'm ahead of?

I don't think there is too much that you are ahead of. Based on his stats he is really loose but his raising range is fairly tight. I don't know if I would reraise the flop against such a tight UTG raiser. After the shove I probably put him on 33,44,AA, or KK. Maybe QQ but that's less likely since you have a Q.

Is utg shoving or is bb?

Re: AQ 3bet on flop
 

Don't raise this. For 2.65 he's already pricing himself out of draws. If he's behind you, he's valuebetting himself (and he probably folds most hands behind you to a raise anyway). If you raise, you're just setting yourself up for a tough hand, because if he calls, now you're playing a bloated pot with TPTK and a lot of scare cards in the deck. And if he shoves...you have to fold TPTK.
