Given the players behind you, you're not Iso'ing a LAG. Ignoring that bit of info can also be seen as flushing money.

If you could guarantee me that two loose passive idiots would cold call behind me here I'd be just as happy (or maybe even happier) to put in three bets here preflop with AQ.

Was this hand typical for that game; i.e., getting three people cold-calling three bets after utg opens and utg+1 pops it? If it was, I certainly understand why you were up four racks. (And you were being especially generous to the dealer, right?)

Thanks for the responses. I am glad that my decision to fold was agreed on by many who posted. But unfortunately the one person who knows the guy (Howard) had the best answer, in a player specific and results oriented way. I still don't know if the exact situation came up again, if I would be able to close my eyes and call 3 BBs down, hoping to be good.

Results for those of you who like stuff like this.

Well, after the UTG guy threebet, images of AK were dancing in my head, and that doesn't take into consideration the MP1 guy, who has exactly two cards.

I think for no more than 7 seconds and my AQ is in the muck, and MP1 calls the bet. The turn comes a 2, UTG bets, MP1 calls, river is a 4, UTG thinks because 4 to a straight out there, but no normal human being has a 3 here, so he bets, and MP1 folds, mumbling something about his pocket pairs never holding up.

I am instantly furious he raised on the flop, and that feeling gets repeated when UTG showed his obvious hand of AJ.

The feeling of rage leaves my body when I cash out and put my new found money in cloth bags with dollar signs on them to take home.

I think there's a reasonable chance that will are still ahead here just because I believe a LAG would cap AK/AA/KK preflop, but I don't like the fact that we have to pay 2 bets. I wouldn't begrudge a fold too much, but I think I call here just so we can see if MP caps. If he does, I think we can lay it down on the turn. If he doesn't, I'm thinking about raising the turn bet by UTG(non J or T) as one of my final bets into the pot but probably just getting to showdown immediately.

This spot is difficult for me and may be considered spew.
