Old guy opens utg. I would fold AQ unless it was David Amos ofc.

Not played live poker much recently but I"m not 3bet calling AQ for this much against an old guy opening 3x+ from UTG without a really good reason. As played the 3bet size should either be much smaller (say 23k) or you should jam. Personally I may flat this but folding pre is also fine.
This does depend on any specific reads though, if he doesn"t cbet frequently then flatting pre is probably best

^ this
If we expect him to fold, its a 3b bluff right? If so would you expect 23k will be equally successful as 37k, actually as successful as 30k because really 37k is more than a tad on the large size.
What was the thinking behind that larger sizing?
Am I missing something here though, we face a 3x open utg from an unknown "old guy" how is this a good spot to 3b call for 28 bigs with AQs?
Open range is?
AA-88,AKo-AJo,KQo,AKs-ATs,KQs maybe? more importantly villains 4b range is super tight especially since....

Is it a he thinks I think yada yada level.

Everybody is assuming the "old guy" is competent or nitty.
I didn"t make that assumption I took his opening size to suggest that he wasn"t so good. I actually thought AQs was enough to get it in with in this comp vs this guy, but would have happily taken a fold.
If he folds 50% and ships with 1010+ and AJ+ against which I"m 45%....
I"m 35% against the much tighter QQ+ AQ+ with a higher %age of folds that still can"t be so bad?
I jammed the flop anyway and as it happened he had the mighty K 10 off
A on turn and K on river

Well in that case check flop, jam turn :D
