Results: $7.41 pot ($0.37 rake)
Final Board: 3 J Q Q

UTG wins $7.04

In this situation, UTG is a tight player with the following statistics: 6k hands, VPIP 11, PFR 8, and 3bet 2.8. Based on this information, I considered that UTG's range mostly consists of hands like JJ and QQ, rather than AQ, which is the only hand I can beat. In theory, there are only two combinations of AQs that he could have (AhQh, AcQc), compared to four combinations of QQ and JJ. If we include all eight combinations of AQ, then my call would be profitable. Do you think folding is correct? Should I give up on small pairs in such situations?

What range did you have V on for calling your raise on the flop? It looks like trips to me, call flop raise and then check shove turn. Either trips or V has JJ and hopes you got a Q. I don't know, lets hear what other have to say.

QJ gets there as well, but I doubt a tight player would play that hand.
Without reads this is a tough spot, but yeah against this type of player I don't think a fold would be bad. You have the worst full house possible. Off course QQ seems unlikely. That's a hand that isn't shoving. Than villian was hoping you have JJ and that's unlikely based on the pre-flop action.

What You think about fold preflop on this position pocket 33? If we search place to fold preflop is the best place for me.

100 BB deep, there is no chance I am folding this!! could have AQ KQ FD, and could be going all in trying to block you out of a FD. ppl do some spazzy stuff sometimes you be amazed.

If you arent willing to call all-in with small pairs when you make a boat, I wouldnt call pre flop.
