Ucky, MP3 sure woke up on the turn.

Heh, this is a lot like the other hand, except here you have to worry about A-A and Q-Q. One difference is the presence of a Q on the board, which makes J-J and 10-10 or any other underpair much less likely.

Out of all of the hands, I would be least likely to three bet this one for that reason.

He has the hand I don't want to him to have that it looks like he probably has.

Bottles, correct me if I'm wrong, but based on his Turn action you have to hope he has *exactly* AQ here...

Your Cap preflop might make him fear his QQ is not worth raising on the flop. So you can't even rule that out. If not he has AA really.

After your 3-bet (if you aren't folding to a Cap) you are often losing 2 more bets. If he has AQ you are winning 1 more. You have to have the best hand over half of the time here, and I don't think you do. If he'll cap with AA (and I think a lot wouldn't) then you basically need to be good 2/3rd of the time. And I think that's very likely not the case.
