zoom AQo TP in 3bet pot

In my opinion yes. BTN shouldn't have many AK because of preflop but we can't exclude them all. He could have 22,55. Or AdXd? I think I would still call that flop min raise and see what happens OTT but 3betting him OTF is kind of overplay. And when he raises that we can be quite sure we are behind.

I do not like going broke. Call the raise and see the turn.

Ok, let's say I call and OTT continue calling his bets when board is non diamond or I should just fold to further action (villain bets 2/3).

Also, is it +EV to call these 3bets with small pockets, I have noticed that a lot of players do it (whatever the size of the 3bet is), should I also?

Calling 3x 3 bets ONLY to set mine is -EV

EDIT: I'm speaking 100bb deep. If we are ~200bb deep then its is ok.

To call small pp follow Call20 Rule.

I would call turn too if it is not a diamond.

Generally we have 2 streets of value.

Yup. Villain can barrel some draws or weaker hits.

SD and FD are possible, why not just flat

How about making them pay?

Postflop: This is a situation when gut-feeling and logic may clash a bit. It's always painful to call one and especially two bets only to find out that you have to fold to a third bet. But I believe it pays more to call with bluff catchers (AQ is objectively such a hand facing a flop raise) than to raise with them hoping villain is both bluffing and calling the raise. Hoping that villain is bluffing and folding to a raise is what I mean is the logical problem with the gut feeling that says "re-raise this goddamned fish".

It clashes with the fish in everyone that cries: Omg, I got TP and I got you, mf ...

That's an even better way to put it.
