Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 21/16/9.5

Villain was a TAG with 21/16 AF:9.5 and F3B:0 over 71 hands.
I though I had to call all 3 streets bcause his aggression was so high. Was this bad play or cooler? Preflop play was the right thing to do?

I think it's fine. It looks like you have to call him down, but you don't really have to.

You call if you think he'd bet this hard with KQ all three streets for value, or if he would double and triple-barrel a missed AK or an underpair like 99s and 1010s. If the answer is no, you could get away at the turn, as then you'd probably put him on the overpair, no? If you river an ace, are you getting paid vs. KK? If another queen comes, are you getting paid by AA or KK? By the river, it's usually a place where people aren't firing the triple-barrel bluff because they know they're going to be called down by a Queen, which as we can see did happen.

You are out of position. I would have 3-bet pre-flop then think if i can call his 4-bet. We can have an idea where we are preflop by 3betting.

Very well played hand sir. This is just a cooler and definitely not a bad play.

You just lost the minimum by playing it the way you did by not 3betting pre and not raising on any street post flop. There was potential there for anyone to lose more chips in that spot.
