Default 25NL Easy fold of top pair?

No real reads, except villain is significantly better than most the players at this level. My table image is probably TAG, though villain has caught me c-betting several pots.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button ($3.20)
SB ($5.75)
BB ($20.45)
UTG ($52.05)
Hero ($61.10)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $1</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $3</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG calls $2.

Flop: ($6.35) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $4</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $12</font>, UTG calls $8.

Turn: ($30.35) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $20</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $30.35

Thats why you should not raise tags UTG preflop. If you do, you cant fold here.

The flop raise is nice imo, like the turn fold. I like to wait for a better spot.
You are beat by AK, he may have hit his set also.
He may be on Ax [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] also.
Kind of hard to say without any read.

What hand is a "significantly better" player raising UTG and calling a three-bet with?

99/TT/JJ? AJ/AQ/AK?

What hand is villain donking the flop and calling a three-bet with?

99? AJ/AQ/AK?

What hand is villain leading turn with?
99? 88?

I want to put villain on 99/AJ/AQ/AK.

I would fold flop bet to a TAG with less than TPTK

I'd fold AQo vs UTG raise. Especially if he's solid. Call me weak.

Everyone misread OP.

He did not say that the villain was a TAG but rather that his (OP) table image was that of a TAG.

Unless I'm misreading that.
