EDIT - Didn't see that the SB didn't raise you, the UTG+1 did.

This looks fine to me. I'd probably shove the money in on the turn, but it prolly doesn't matter much if you shove vs. if you trap.

3-betting pre kind of depends on your opponent and the players behind there, so it's questionable.

Turn and river though. Bet sizing sucks, but if you raise you're just hoping for a split I guess. He seems pretty tight but he is fishy.

The river raise is close for me. There's enough there to get him to fold out a split, but I'm not sure about AK. TT-QQ you don't have much to lose here if you can convince him you were on a draw. I think this kind of player that cold calls too much probably isn't folding there enough, so it's pretty close. I'd have to have more info to make this play personally, otherwise I just call.

I think the 3bet is a bit ambitious unless you know utg1 is loose.
The flat from a fishy looking stacksize in the SB is so weird he has to be a fish. If he was decent Id put him on JJ QQ or AK but the SB could be quite wide here. That being the case id probably raise the turn . His sizing looks like a bit of a feeler and I can't see us ever folding now. Id expect to lose to AK sometimes here though.

You are likely ahead, but what calls that you beat if you raise? AJ? combo draw 9dTd? So by just calling, can you extract river value, and you probably can here. Those are the things you need to be weighing before you're just raising or calling the turn. If you can't extract more value, then a turn raise can be ok.

He is little bit a fish and hard to understand his plays.

I would rather just call the river and close it out.

Probably should have just called. He turned over JT for a flopped Straight

Knowing the outcome probably clouds my ability to remain completely objective....However, I agree with some of the other posters that 3betting preflop with AQ is very dependent on what you know and think of your opponents. However, I personally hate AQ. I seem to notice that it does not play very well post flop unless you make the big pair. I also think that this problem is compounded when 3betting with it because you are likely to get called only by hands that stand up very well against AQ. Such as AA KK (likely to be 4bet) TT+, AK and not much else. (Would you call an early position 3bet with AJ or less?) This IS just my opinion and I know some people really like AQ.
I think the turn play was ok. Just calling does disguise your hand a bit since most big aces would raise, and if he is drawing you do want to keep him in with only the river to come (although he is getting great odds).
The river play kinda startled me a bit. lol. It is unlikely that he holds a 6, but I think calling is the better choice. You obviously are not going to fold for such a small bet, but the only hands that would call you are the hands that beat you. 30 really does look like a suck bet on the river.

Good Luck at The Tables!!!

Actually, now that I look at his stack size, He may have called your shove with T9, TT, JJ, QQ, and KK. Although I would suspect the bigger pairs would 4bet all in preflop.

Good Luck.
