Full Tilt - $0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

BTN: $21.50
Hero (SB): $12.42
BB: $10.00
UTG: $12.93
MP: $11.11
CO: $10.00

Hero posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero has Q:club: A:diamond:

UTG calls $0.10, MP raises to $0.45, fold, BTN calls $0.45, Hero ???

Stats for your viewing pleasure:

UTG-90/9/25afq over 22 hands
MP(original raiser)-34/19/40afq. Fold to 3bet 28% (2/7) 152 hands
BTN-39/9/48afq fold to 3bet is 75% (3/4)

Lately I've been confused as to why and when I should 3bet AQ. Here i'm pretty sure I should raise for value since MP doesn't fold well to 3bets. However, by 3betting I will probably knock out BTN and UTG who are superfish. Is that cool?

Yes 3 bet we don't want to be in a four way pot with AQ OOP when we miss.

yeah good spot. UTG has ATC, BTN has a wide range and is going away and we're still ahead of MP's range.

you asked about bluff vs value and you implied your confusion. it seems like you know why though.
