UTG: $16.00 (100 bb)
MP: $13.18 (82 bb)
CO: $9.47 (59 bb)
BU: $17.50 (109 bb)
SB (Hero): $17.61 (110 bb)
BB: $16.56 (104 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.24) Hero is SB with Q A
UTG raises to $0.48, 3 players fold, Hero 3-bets to $1.68, 1 fold, UTG calls $1.20

Flop: ($3.52) 3 T 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $1.68, UTG calls $1.68

Turn: ($6.88) T (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

River: ($6.88) 9 (2 players)
Hero

Spoiler

checks, UTG checks

Total pot: $6.88 (Rake: $0.31)

Showdown:
SB (Hero) shows Q A (a pair of Tens)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 47%, Flop: 28%, Turn: 27%, River: 0%)

UTG shows 2 2 (two pair, Tens and Twos)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 53%, Flop: 72%, Turn: 73%, River: 100%)

UTG wins $6.57

Is that 3bet preflop too thin?
Flop: many hands like overcards suited connectors will call there.
Turn: this is the thing. Is better to X turn against unknown or cbet again? I don't expect that someone will fold better hand to 2nd barrel.
River: at this point I can't see any reason to bluff. This card is helping villain more often than me.

3bet pre ok as we don't like calling from SB.
Rather bad flop for you, you can check/call or even check/fold here.

Without sufficient knowledge on villain it's difficult to play these hands.
If you don't know how he reacts to cbet, double barrels etc you're basically playing the guessing-game.
I don't expected a weak range to open-raise from UTG and call a 3.5x 3bet OOP.
So you basically have two options: bluff like there's no tomorrow to represent monster pairs; take it slow and see a showdown with your A high.
I don't mind with taking it down to showdown and see if your A high is good when you don't have info on them. And you can see his cards and take notes for further hands.

I would probably prefer to check fold OTF. Otherwise the hand looks ok.

I guess mine is around 27.
30 sounds a bit high.

I don't mind flatting the SB aslong as BB isn't squeezing to aggressively.And it might sometimes be the better play depending on who the BB is.
