Villain is 14/10/2.7 over 29 hands.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, BB calls.

My raise here was to isolate the BB and perhaps clean up some outs. Correct or no?

Turn: (5.25 BB) A/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB caps</font>, Hero calls.

Villain's SnG + C/R confused me a little. I don't believe he's pushing a set on me (unless he slowplayed AA until now, but I doubt that). Perhaps a two pair with the Ace.

River: (13.25 BB) Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls.

I hit top two pair. With my line of thinking that he had two pair, I figured raising here was correct. If he had 3-bet, I would have called.

Final Pot: 17.25 BB

Why would you what to isolate a seemingly solid player? I would just take on off the flop.

I feel you overplayed the turn.

He is screaming at you that he has ATo or some other hand better than TPGK on the turn. Why are you 3-betting this?

On the flop, neither of your outs are dirty in a way that you can clean them up. The Q doesn't complete a straight and no one is folding AT or A7. I raise this flop sometimes, though, but it's to get a cheap look at the river, if need be.

If I do raise, I'm not 3-betting the turn check raise, but I would raise the river.

Usually my play in this hand is:

Call the flop.
If he bets the turn, I raise. If he 3-bets, I call down.
If he checks, I bet. If he check raises, I call down.

I'm probably folding this flop :/

I would fold on this flop. Is this a leak? What's the reasoning for drawing to overcards with a pretty small pot? Is it because we think we might still be ahead?
