Hi!

Im not super sure about flop 3bet. If I had a FD here I would definatelly call,if I had anything worse than Ax I would fold. So if you call here you are very weak I guess and if you 3bet you are super strong.

At the same time is AQ rly that strong here. MP donks in this pot I would say he either has some FDs or Ax(if he is at least somewhat reasonable) and Ax are AJ+, BTN calls which makes him weaker ,many pockets and possible even Ax,BB raise is rly strong and is FD or at least AQ+.And there are also 9x hands that one can easily have. So vs value part of their range you are not doing super great and chance that they all have draws is pretty slim.That is why I preffer adding this hand in my calling range.

As played turn you can fold to that raise if you have any reasonable stats on him. You are splitting at best. He capped preflop vs UTG/MP which is premium pretty much, he called flop which on this board can easily be AA,99,AK,AQ,KhQh or some other broadway FD. I dont ever see him raising there with AJ, and if he is he is also doing it with AT,TT. You can calldown AK though. And I wouldnt be too worried about overfolding. You still have AK,AA,many 9xs.

I like the 3bet on the Flop. MP will never have 9x but often enough AT and AJ, less often AK. Button who capped Preflop just called the Flop. Means he mostly has got QQ KK JJ with :heart: and is just hoping to improve to his 2outs. BB coldcalled Preflop. I see him rarely have 9x. Sometimes 98s but those are just 2 combos. He could still have a broad array of Ax type of hands like AT AJ as well or even smaller Ax hands. I am sure if we'd put this into the equilab, you'll end up seing yourself as a favourite, though you might be just a small one with 28% or so and in a pot this big it's even worth to kick out Button with his 2-3 Outs on a set with bd-Flushdraw.

Turn i agree to what dawnfall said. If hes totally unknown i would probably call down though but with the smallest indication of him being reasonable, you've an easy fold. He's never raising AQ here but AK with FD or AA.
