just a cooler??
this hand is from tonights mini open.
I had been raising quite a lot in position and they were mostly getting through so when the villain 3 bets me should I have folded?? shoved?? is the call the worst option??
what would you have done when facing his 3 bet?
after the flop and especially the turn there is no way of getting off the hand.

I like how you played it postflop
i called because i was in position and wanted to see a flop, if i miss the flop i can fold and still have over 30bb's.
i'm getting frustrated with my game at the minute because i have been getting off to great starts in mtts and then one small mistake ruins it all!!!!!
i didn't shove because the villain had been playing tight so i gave him credit for a big hand so i guess i should have just folded? right?
When you bet for perceived value at turn your priced in totally, which is what he wanted, you simply cannot fold there even though you kn ow that its unlikely that your hand is good.
Pre flop is tricky. We're talking 6 handed with AsQs on the button being re raised by the blinds. You say you've been raising position frequently and getting them through. So when he pops you from the SB are you wondering if that is partly down to your image rather than opponents holdings? (I likely would be, if I'd been opening IP)
His stack size is difficult here. With a real hand he has no real fold equity with the 3 bet, so If you think the AQ is good, easy enough to set him in. But if you're prepared to set him in pre regardless, I dont mind the flat with him being pretty knitty, as if he does have a AK/J J's or lower PP you retain a pot sized bullet to apply pressure post.
At a 9 handed table I likely fold pre to the 3bet, but your at the top of your range mostly here vs the blinds. I think you're tied to it mostly bud.
Being in position I thought I'd take a flop and see what he does, with the view of trying to push him off if he checks or puts in a weak c-bet and also folding if he shows strength and i have missed (at this point I would have still had 30+bb's).
After the flop and the turn the hand plays itself but after the input from everyone and the fact I thought he had a strong hand, I reckon I should have folded rather than shoved and I think the flat call was a mistake but like I said when you have 12 secs or so to think about it folding AQs in position is hard to do!! All in all the guy outplayed me, fair play to him!
The bet on the turn is another thing that i dont like. When you look through the story of the preflop and flop.He has a hand big enough to 3-bet and then checks the flop and the turn. This leads to 2 possible scenarios either he is absolutely massive and is trapping or has missed totally and trying to get away cheaply. So this leads us to think we are either 100 miles ahead or 100 miles behind. With this in mind we can safely assume that any action from him after this bet is bad news because he is not going to pay off with a weakened hand and only raise with a better one.
So for me this hand is either 4bet shove or fold pre. But as played check the turn and either check or call smallish bet on the river. Many will disagree with me on this but that is what makers this game wonderful
i was hoping for an under pair i guess, you have hit the nail on the head!
cheers for all the input, this is an area of my game that needs improving on so all advice is much appreciated
