Default Re: AA on 77Q7J board

[ QUOTE ]
I really, really thought an overplayed naked Q was waaaay more likely than a 7 since villain raised from UTG (and didn't cap, so QQ is unlikely)

This is 3/6 short-handed. This guy could have A7o, K7s, 87s, etc... Maybe he's taking a shot at the flop with A high or a small pp as well. I usually let people bet for me on paired boards, especially when I've shown a lot of strength pre-flop. Think about it. His flop bet makes no sense in the context of this hand, unless he's fishing for more action. I would have raised the turn like I said, because that turn card makes an overplayed Q more likely. But, when he 3-bets you, there is no other choice but to call down. You have no reason to put in any more action. If you have a read that he can't read hands and will overplay his hands, then you can put in some more action. If you had a read that he is overaggressive and likes to bluff, then you should still just be calling.
