Pretty standard "tough spot" on the flop situation just want to get some oppinions on this hand and if perhaps made an incorrect play / call, etc.

Easy situation - i am brand new to this 9 seated table, bought in for the $2 maximum and waited for my BB to come into the game.

My hand comes around and i get dealt AsQs in the BB.

The pot gets one limper early

HJ raises to .08

Button calls - folds to around to me.

Hero re raises to .30

Folds to HJ villan calls .22

Flop comes QcTd10s

Hero bets .40

Villan insta jams for 1.30 effective (has me covered)

Given the stakes are pretty low, i am new to this table and don't know much about my opponent - i dont think too awful long, i make the reluctant call and....

Hero calls - villan shows AdTd

So i had the villan drawing very thin to 3 outs and he flops 2 of em. Shame that they got that lucky but, do any of you play this hand any different? First hand in at the lowest micro stakes available can you fold in this spot?

I am always looking to learn so good to hear any other perspectives you guys can give. Thanks for taking the time. :)

I don't understand your flop. You have two 10 on the flop? The letter T which card is? What is the turn, river?

Im sorry, you are correct the flop has a Queen and two 10s on it...i usually use the letter T when there are multiple 10s in a hand. Anyhow, the turn and river were insignificant - did not improve anyone. He flopped 2 of his 3 outs and got lucky. My question was at these stakes, is this even a call?

I think yes. He could have JJ 99 KQs QJs AQ AJ AK and also J10s 910s A10s
And u should raise 0.4-0.45 5x min

I would fold as there are possible trips, if the bet was 50% or a little higher I would call.

I would've let the hand go. For starters you just took your seat, secondly if a player jams like that hes usually got a strong hand. I sometimes have trouble getting away from hands like such....

I agree, i think the fact that i had just sat down influenced the call just because we all know how loose the player pool is at those stakes

I don't think AQs beats enough of a normal HJ opening range to justify a 3bet OOP against 1 raiser and a caller. (unless hero has history with V) That's the preflop part I don't agree with. Also, I think your 3 bet sizing was bad. I'm making it minimum .40 pre.

Just from reading your post, I can tell you had a bad feeling about calling. I understand that it's hard to put a V on a T with 2 of them on the flop, but it's not just about the T's there. It's what else could he be calling with PREFLOP that A-beats me now, and B-willing to shove a pot sized raise on the flop in a 3 bet pot. QQ (maybe but discounted cause you have one) QT,AT,KT,JTs,T9s, (all possible given preflop sizing) Those are just the hands that beat you, then there would be all the J combos that have draws. Get where I'm going with this?

I don't mind the cbet on that board, but I think you have to let that go after the shove without some very specific history against this V.

3 Betting AQ OOP on a limp and a HJ raise looks fine to me. Would raise a bit bigger though to e.g. 0.4 as your OOP and raising against a limper and a raiser. Your OOP and don't mind if they fold.

The river jam and certainly on this board texture normally means that they have it. So you should fold unless you have a solid read.
