I had this hand the other and besides a fold was there any different way you think i could have played this hand to get this lady off her hand. So it started off this lady raised utg+1 to $6 one caller in middle position and im dealt AQ diamonds in cutoff so i raise to 21. Everyone folds except for this lady. Flop comes 3d3h4d and this lady leads for 15.( should mention we both had around 200-240 to start the hand and i have played with this lady before so have decent read on her) I end up raising to 45 because i figure against a hand like 55-1010 which im putting her on im 50/50 and might even get her to fold. So she tanks and shaking her head and ends up calling turn comes a 3 so my flush draw is no good. She leads for 50 and with that i had about 90 after that. So my thoughts were from this bet were because she still looked in disgust was if i had a flush draw i would pitch it and if i did have a big pair i would shove and she could get away from it. So i end up shoving and looks very disgusted and keeps saying i know you have a big pair. But she ends up calling with 77 and winning the hand. I also figured because we had such similar chip stacks that she wouldn't be willing to put in all in with a marginal hand.

Well based on the fact that this is live play, I think it is a mistake to try to get her to fold that hand, because from my experience most live players overplay the shit out of their hands. (i have seen 4bets with TT and such). I actually think the 3bet is a mistake, because her opening range could include many weaker aces that people also overplay like AJ and AT, and by 3betting you fold almost all of them out and leave yourself dominated by AK and flipping with pocket pairs. As for raising the flop, it also accomplishes nothing other than building a bigger pot (which is good when you hit your flush) but I would suggest doing that move on a flop like Kxx so that she can actually manage folding her pair, but most people are extremely hesitant to fold overpairs at those stakes, so your best play is just flat the raise in position and keep all of her weaker aces in and then just play from there.
