No real info on opponent.
I 3Bet because I didn't want to play OOP passively,
The flop sucks.
Pacific Poker - $0.05 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
BTN: $5.02

Hero (BB): $6.43
UTG: $4.95
MP: $8.15
CO: $1.77
SB posts SB $0.02, Hero posts BB $0.05
Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has A♦:Q♦:
UTG raises to $0.20, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.80, UTG calls $0.60
Flop: ($1.62, 2 players) 2♠:6♣:2♦:
Hero ???
I would just call pre-flop. Biggest problem with 3betting is that you most likely play a big pot out of position and AQs isn't playing to bad post-flop.
Now you could get in a tricky spot if you miss like now and villian called you Cbet.

I did — but just under 1/2 pot and he folded.
As I see this, hand play out, if I just flat pre, I end up OOP and without initiative, and I pretty much have to fold to a CBet on this flop — and a host of others
This is well played.
Definitely 3 betting this preflop.
30% pot on the flop, follow up any diamond. If you hit an ace / Q, I would probably x/c.
If he calls flop, you whiff turn, and it goes check check, the game plan should be to fire the river for 60-70%. Very standard situation.
Just call preflop, AQo is not strong postflop. UTG open range has lot of hand what he could call 3B - mainly big pairs or better A.
