Two hands with AQ first one:

PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 5 players
Replay this hand on Pokeit - https://pokeit.co/public/625c6JWJF/r

UTG: $1.75 (88 bb)
CO: $4.87 (244 bb)
BU (Hero): $2.89 (145 bb)
SB: $0.36 (18 bb)
BB: $2.66 (133 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BTN with Q♥ A♣
1 fold, CO raises to $0.07, Hero 3-bets to $0.22, SB 4-bets to $0.36 (all-in), 1 fold, CO calls $0.29, Hero calls $0.14

Flop: ($1.10) 3♣ Q♠ 7♥ (3 players, 1 all-in)
CO bets $0.40, Hero calls $0.40

Turn: ($1.90) T♥ (3 players, 1 all-in)
CO bets $0.70, BU (Hero) folds

River: ($1.90) Q♣ (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $1.90 (Rake: $0.07)

Spoiler

Showdown:
CO shows 3♥ 3♦ (a full house, Threes full of Queens)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 54%, Flop: 98%, Turn: 91%, River: 100%)

SB shows K♠ A♥ (a pair of Queens)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 46%, Flop: 2%, Turn: 9%, River: 0%)

CO wins $1.83

CO is unknown player preflop after this 4bet all in SB I can only call or fold. On flop CO donkbet I decide call, on turn he donkbet again now I don't think he bluffs here so I decide fold.

In second hand opponent is unknown (only 30 hands vs him) on flop I decide cbet, turn in position I check on river I catch top pair top kicker but opponent bets overbet, he represent here set or he may bluff I call here...
I hate play this big aces in 3bet pots, often missed board or when catch something must got this...

1)

BU (Hero) folds

Terrible fold there. No str8 and flush possibilities. Hard to give V credit for hand there. You seem to be paranoid. You seem to be coolered a lot. Now you believe that everytime V bets he has something. Witch is not the case. You are overfolding way too much.

2)

Check back and bet OTF seems equally fine. You should cbet flop with some frequency to avoid being predictible. Check back OTT is fine. Call on the river is fine as well.

First hand I would 3bet a little bit smaller. If you make it 21c for example you can still isolate the short stack if he/she would shove. Now villains shove is less than you're raise and than you can only call. As played it's tough to fold top pair top kicker on flop and turn.

2nd hand I would play the same way you did. 3x 3bet in position seems big enough.

First hand- I don’t mind a fold with AQ off- to a 4 bet. Unless you think villian is way out of line which this villain is. Once you call with this hand you need to be willing to go the distance of you hit an ace or a queen.

As for second hand on gg poker - I am checking flop- delaying cbetting turn when villain checks on flop as well. Then when we hit queen on river depending on villain sizing I will be calling. Like pot 2/3 pot size bet or lower I am calling.

IMO

How you want to fold against a 4bet shove for only 14c more in the first hand?
If it was a normal 4bet sizing I would most likely fold, but now you need to call 14c to win a pot of $1,10 and the CO has most likely not a really strong hand ether. That's why I would try to isolate, but that's only possible if hero would 3bet 1c less. If CO had a strong hand he/she would 5bet for sure and than hero had a easy escape.

I think it's better if you just post one hand at a time.

1st hand:
PF: same as my comment 2nd hand.

F: I think TPTK here is top of your range, so I'm raising. Folding if he 3bets doesn't seem so crazy once you are both deep.

- - - - - -

2nd hand:
PF: 3bet range is wider from BTN vs CO, with some people recommending even a 3bet/fold approach there. Nice.

F: Why are you cbetting there?
If value: from overcards? if yes, I like the sizing and would do that with AQ/AK and pocket pairs. Checking the turn makes sense.
If bluff: then AQ has too much value for that, imo. I would size it large with hands like KQ/KJ. Frequently barreling the turn.
