$25 NL HE 6-max: AQ in pos, TPTK 3bet pot

Some background, i don't have any real reads on villian maybe like 40hands where he's been running 17/13. AQ may not be good enough to call 3bets with but i have a reason. I've raised the last two hands(bvb and on the btn) and have gotten the blinds without contest, so i felt his 3bet might be a little bit wider:

irubel (UTG): $24.05

Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero is CO with A

I just call here. Raising allows him to fold stuff like JJ/AK/air and jam with a range that has us beat.

Call flop, stacks in on the turn.

Raising serves no point, stacks are going in quick anyway.

You're miles ahead of his range at the moment, just do what you can to keep some bluffs in it and allow him to think the weaker portion of his range is still up against your presumably weakish floating range (i.e. he'll value bet the turn with a lot of weaker hands).

Also, generally speaking 17/13's are not the players you want to be adjusting to a whole lot.

Just exploit tight-passive players relentlessly and get out of their way when they do anything.

With that being said, AQ is fine in this situation.
