I'd have called in position preflop AQs is a strong hand, but not strong enough to 3-bet that UTG+2 raise, and I'd have tried to keep the pot small hitting tptk. usually calling if bet into, or raising about half the pot if checked to. After the King comes on the turn, I'd be inclined to try and check the hand down and folding to any bet. your opponent having a straight, two pairs, or having paired the king is now a very high possibility and your draw to a better straight is not good enough to play here. betting into you on the river after calling your flop and turn bets is odd, but it just screams to me that this guy is a calling station who has now got three tens. But he could just as easily be betting for value with a full house, straight, or a better 2-pair hand (Kings and Tens as opposed to your Queens and Tens) thinking you wouldn't make another bet if he checked to you. Good fold

Hey BigBenme!

3bet pre against that very small isoraise is fine... problaby 5-6bb is also ok to play hu with the initial raiser!

As played I would cbet the flop slightly bigger on this limit for value!
Turn is ugly... I check behind for potcontrol as I don't see much valuebetting combinations now! River is then a call/fold depending your reads/timing tells and card obv!

as played I muck river as the board is not that drawy and even sd-draws with kx have you beat!

Greets,
Tiltberger
