Re: PP 10/20 AQ TPTK v. Button 3 bet
Meh.
First off, this is clearly a WA/WB situation. One of you has 3 or less outs to catch the other. So it's completely fine to take the check/call check/call bet/(call) line.
On the other hand, I think the way you played it is fine for mixing up your play, assuming that you know villian will often call you down with way-behind hands. There are way more { AK, KQ, JJ-77 } hands than { AA, KK, QQ }.
My only concern is that a player with the stats you give is probably decent postflop. I'd expect him to fold the underpairs and AK almost all the time. The line you're taking shows a lot of strength against a PF 3-bettor and he's got to know you have KQ or better pretty much all the time. A more donkish player is going to think you're bluffing with the paired board, but this guy will likely read you for the goods.
