Me too. After a UTG raise it would have to be folded to me all the way to the cut off before I 3 bet.

I dunno. Honestly, just folding AQo in that spot against most players isn't really losing much value. Obviously, if he's a very loose opener (of which I played several), it's an easy 3-bet in HJ or CO. 3-betting a loose raiser UTG+1 isn't terrible, but I'd need a real read to do it. In this instance, I think it's a definite fold.

The turn is a prototypical free card spot. Betting isn't HORRENDOUS, given how many outs you might have, but I think it's clearly inferior to checking because you're forced to call a c/r having no idea which, if any, outs are clean.

My thinking regarding the preflop play was based on the fact that the session I had played the night before was quite loose. It was common to see early position raises with hands like KQ, KJ, AT, KT, and even QJ. During the other sessions I had there the play was somewhat tighter, but not much.

That's fine and good reasons for a 3 bet with AQ. In the future you might want to include all this in your original post and then you won't be met with a host of "fold this [censored] preflop" responses.

I left out this info intentionally, because I wanted to know whether 3 betting in this situation in this particular game would be OK absent this read (since it is what I would have done anyway without any read at all).

Apparently the consensus is folding is better. I have no problem with all the advice to fold -- I needed it. I only added the extra infomration now because some based their advice on how the game usually plays and because I figure that I've got almost all of the responses I'm going to get. If anyone else responds to the OP, I would want them to ignore the experience from my earlier session that I posted later.

I think the AQo preflop is pretty much based on who is doing the raising and where. UTG tighty is a fold to me, LP loosey is an easy 3-bet.
