AQ TPTK dry board call or fold?
although this player is on a lot of tables and will be mostly playing ABC, his play against me is more varied as we play each other alot, so if the table has been folded round to spots where we could be heads up his 3bet does include hands such as 1010 JJ and AQs.
As i'm still holding small to middle pocket pairs OTF his cbet range was sure to include AK JJ and 1010 so that call was easy, the real strength of his hand comes on the turn as now i was sure 9 times out of 10 he is ahead of me, he could still be holding AK and think i may have JJ 1010 or AK myself but i'm was sure it would be AA-QQ most times.
Q should i make the fold on the turn or should i still call it knowing he might have AK or AQ as well as the 2 Q's and 3 A's (vs KK) that put me ahead

Similarly with the sizing on the flop at only a little over 1/2 pot - is that a standard of is there a suggestion this weights his hands more towards bluffs or made hands?
Given QQ is less likely due to you holding a Q, AA and KK seem to be the only hands you can really fear. A 2x hand seems unlikely unless it's A2s, but you suggest he wouldn't be 3-betting that light?
I can't help but think I'd be calling this and also any blank rivers. Seems like AcKc/AcJc/AcTc could easily barrel twice here, KQ/AQ/maybe QJ could easily bet both streets for value and even hands like JJ/TT may still be betting for protection and value.
That's a lot of combos we are beating by the turn, unless the sizing makes us weight more towards AA/KK.
what was also happening recently was i had been doing 4xbb or 5xbb because their was lots of fit or fold play happening with the majority on the tables. so i think he might have thought this was a weaker hand.
i did still see him holding JJ 1010 in his range preflop. then when he has only got me post flop his range does have semi bluffs and overcards on some occasions so i was thinking on the flop i'm either way ahead and he is attempting to get me to fold or i'm way behind and knows AQ is in my range often
As played, given the positions, c/c flop, turn and river. Your at the absolute top of your range. If your folding here villain can make your fold 100% of your range with 3 barrels in this spot.
