Villain is unkown

Im i bit too aggressive with hand like this when villain is unknown?

Preflop I could just call and keep the utg opener´s range a little bit wider. Or is it okay to raisefold or raisecall (vs really fishy I would go broke) AQo preflop against utg open?

Flop he donks and he´s range could be something like this

QQ-99,AsKs,AsQs,KsQs,QsJs.

I dont have information about him, so i dont know if villain likes to play aggressively his draws. If he likes, can he drop any of those suitedhands against raise?

I think i should have give up flop.

Hey Smice12,

It's important to have a clear idea why we are 3betting preflop. Typically AQ vs UTG will be a bluff, but this guy looks like a fish. We can't really play that well postflop unless we at least have a vague idea of what his continuing range is like. Lacking this info I prefer just to keep the pot smaller and flat vs suspected fish due to stack size.

We want to defend this flop with some of the hands in our range, but I think we can just give up to cbet with this particular hand. As a general population read, donk-bet into preflop 3better is usually pretty strong.

As played, turn give-up is fine, despite the odds.
