Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has 7♦ A♦

UTG raises to $0.30, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.90, fold, fold, UTG calls $0.60

Flop: ($1.95, 2 players) 7♠ A♥ 9♣
UTG checks, Hero bets $1.40, UTG calls $1.40

Turn: ($4.75, 2 players) Q♥
UTG checks, Hero bets $1.80, UTG raises to $5.20, fold

Spoiler

UTG wins $7.97

I was thinking of going a little larger on the turn, 2.40$ but then thought if I get check raised can I call here. Which I don't think I can.
His range consists of sets and AQ. Perhaps some nutted draws.
Correct fold / bet sizings?

I would definitely bet smaller on the flop and bigger on the turn. You don't need to protect OTF. I would bet 1/3 of the pot, because you get value from pocket pairs which on your sizing he can profitable fold.
OTT you should bet bigger 2/3-3/4 of the pot. He should still call all Ax hands, probably Th9h and 9h8h. I think he will raise just AQ, 99,77 and perhaps JhTh, so I think fold is the best option here.
And also I would fold preflop

Against UTG I do not think so. I would 3bet here only A4s-A5s and AQo,AJo, but not every single time, but for example 50%. But depends on villain stats and if you feel comfortable with A7s or any suited ace then it is absolutely fine to 3bet. But remember fold is always 0EV.

Preflop a fold or 3b is fine, I usually raise my suited aces as weazel advises so.

Your advice makes sense. Cant fault it.
My thought was I want to get as much in as possible before I can no longer go broke due to a scare card.

Yeah, absolutely agree.

But ace on the flop is a scare card for your opponent.

Good luck at the tables :-)
