Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A♠ Q♥

fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, BB raises to 9.8 BB, Hero calls 6.8 BB

Flop: (19.6 BB, 2 players) 3♦ A♣ T♥
Hero checks, BB bets 9.6 BB, Hero calls 9.6 BB

Hero checks, BB bets 22.4 BB, Hero calls 22.4 BB

River: (83.6 BB, 2 players) 2♥

What hand plays 3 barells here? AA, and AK? Does he have any hands that I can beat OTR and call?

He can sometimes overplay some AJ. Also he can bluff A5s,A5o and those improved OTT which makes them decent 3barrel bluffs. Maybe some KJcc KQcc? Because you didn't 4bet pre you are quite capped on this board. AQ is one of the best hands you have here so I guess it should be a bluff catcher.

On the other hand we don't have many hands on villain and this is the first time he 3bets. Maybe we can make a tight fold.

I prefer the tight fold here. Leave your half stack for better battle.

In general I believe our hand will not be good often enough to call the river. Nice hand, if you ask me! :)

Yes. His bluffs. But don't call here with AQ because then you'd call with AK, and you'd be calling too much and be a station.

What if hero would quite often 4bet pre with AK and AQ would be very often top of his range.
If we don't have AK in this spot we can call with AQ?

Valid point. Absolutely. I am not 4-betting AK here, and if I do (then with slightly smaller SPR), I go all in. Someone playing differently might call with at least some AQ combos.
