Results:

Spoiler

$4.45 pot ($0.18 rake)
Final Board: 4 9 8 7 9
SB mucked and won $4.27 ($2.07 net)
Hero mucked Q A and lost (-$2.20 net)

Preflop is a call for me. He have a very tight 3betting range (I assume), and therefore I can call with pott odds and the equity.

Now on the Flop I guess he would CB 100% of his Range so I thought I call the Flop and hope to float him on the turn or when I improve (any diamond, A, Q) I can call the turn again.

Well I improved to a flushdraw with 2 overcards and call the turn. Now on the river another blank comes and I fold.

With this Aggressive Line I would assume Villian has JJ+

Is this played correctly or should I change something in my gameplan with AQs in 3bet pot?

Hey Blackkiwi,

Preflop call vs a tight 3better will be marginal here. We want to take into account pot-odds and equity but we also need to consider postflop reverse-implied odds which can be a significant factor here.

No guarantee opponent will cbet 100% of his range here - he might, he might not. Also his range is just pretty tight in the first place. So depend on exact 3b and cbet range could easily end up just being a flop fold at these limits.

Turn is likely fine with the implied odds.

River easy fold.
