First HH post! There was a bit of back and forth talk before this hand, I was trying to un-nit the table.
I put villian on AA/KK or air. Is the flop push or fold territory? The reraise to 42 seemed suspicious to me.

3-betting more preflop would have been really, really nice here.

As played I am folding, there's no reason he can't have a 7 as you didn't make him pay enough that he'd have to fold a suited connector.

I think if he had a flush draw he would take the free card on the turn, as your bet sizing looks donkish and you are representing AJ/QQ+. Also 17/7's don't really get out of line too much.

Raise more preflop.

Bet more on the flop, closer to pot than 1/2 pot.


As played with your 1/2 pot bet on the flop I think you may have induced a raise from a weaker hand or draw.

Although the T9 straight got there on turn and you're losing to a 7, I think you could call on the turn since your hand is underrepped.
