No, I would still fold. It would look like hero has a K or a slowplayed set or top two. If there was just an A on board then I guess there is more of a justification for this move, but not an A and K.

Just because you have enough sense to a fold to a line like that, certainly does not mean that a 50NL unknown would.

I retract my original statement about villain calling with QQ or JJ. I dont think they will on any street with both the A and the K. I am sure I have more sense than alot of the 50 NL world, but unless I know villain is an idiot, he will be scared of both the overcards.

Being scared and letting go of that pretty pocket pair are two completly different things to a bad player.

This just seems very optimistic at best to me.

So that, again, means that your flop bet is only getting called with AQ+ (unless he called you PF with AJ, and for the sake of this argument I'll say he didn't). This is classic WA/WB where villain knows exactly where he's at and is a spot where you should not bet.
A turn bet is necessary simply for protection: you have top two on a 3-flush 3-straight board in a 3-bet pot, and you're still folding to a raise.

When the Q or J come out and you stack off to that two outer that you werent worried about, you might start to re think this. I dont bet to protect against a two outer, but this is a clear value bet. If you disagree with that statement,then I am unsure why you 3 bet pf at all.

Looks like villian has QQ.
He can't assume you have AA/KK anymore so his turn and river bets make sense.
Regardless u have the best hand here probably zip-zero percent of the time

This is actually bothering me quite a bit that I really think about it. Why even 3-bet with a hand like this if youre not content with tpgk on this flop? AQ is a hand where you hit one pair and its usually good against typical villain ranges. If youre checking this flop, then which ones will you c-bet? Will you c-bet with air? How about AT3 with two clubs? Or AJ3 with two clubs? Are you soley waiting for A49 and boards very similar to that?

Profish, just because you are ahead of villians raising range doesnt mean you are equally ahead of his 3-bet calling range.
Saying when you hit a pair with AQ in a 3bet pot you are "content" is basically telling OP to lose money.
