Default Getting more into NL cash, AQ TPTK

UTG had been playing fairly well, seemingly solid TAG. BB had been playing decently but showed down a few marginal hands. Seemed to be pretty straightforward postflop though.

Preflop: Is this a bad cold-call of the PFR in the first place?

Flop: Based on my reads, standard right?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $111.25
Hero: $154.65
CO: $126.55
Button: $103.75
SB: $30.85
BB: $189.85

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $3</font>, Hero calls, CO calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($15, 5 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">BB bets $5</font>, UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $25</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $70</font>, Hero <font color="#cc0000">???</font>

Instafold. He doens't have KQ or worse here.

BTW I would raise or fold PF (usually raising)

as played fold, you are way behind.
preflop i would fold or raise, calling being the worst option,
Solid tag raises UTG im mucking AQ, if he opened from a later position id be more inclined to 3 bet,

I fold this preflop. A solid UTG TAG's range is going to give AQ a lot of trouble even when you have position.

I agree that underbet/3bet on the flop is almost always way ahead of TPTK.

I'm not a big fan of the preflop call either fold ot or 3-bet. But i guess a call isnt awfull.

I would fold the flop against any one but a total maniac.

Any one like a smaller flop raise, like to 17-20??

The call preflop is fine! If he's good, his range is all PP and quite a few aces and some other random stuff too. Raising is fine to, but I never fold here. Position vs a "solid" player at 100NL is golden.

I probably just call this flop. As played, fold though

I like the call preflop but I'm sometimes raising this too. I'm more inclined to just call the flop bet here, but after the reraise I'm out of there. There's not a single hand in villains range that we're ahead of on this dry board, IMO.
