i dislike pre-flop. i wouldn't 3-bet AQo against an unknown UTG raiser.

as played, i start by calling his flop raise and stacking off when he bets the turn. if you're not willing to stack off here when you hit TP, you shouldn't be 3-betting this hand pre-flop.

id def call pre. even if his range is like 77+ you have position. folding is bad

Valuewise I'm not sure folding pf is right, but if you want to make your life easier, folding is def worth considering. AQ is never fun to play OOP vs. an irregular sized UTG raise from an unknown.

As played, idk. I probably fold flop to his raise b/c I see no draws. You would basically be crossing your fingers that he has KQ, when he could have KK AA AQ or a set. You will have to continue this hand OOP, vulnerable, and without a clue if you call, and be willing to get it AI. Seems high variance.
