Trust my gut?

Party 5/10 6-handed

I haven't seen anyone do anything particularly stupid at this table, weak play but no glaringly bad habits.


I've got AQo on the button, folded to me, I raise, SB folds and BB 3-bets.

Flop KK6 rainbow. BB checks. This immediately screams 'king' to me, but I've also seen low pairs check/call down here. Still, the 3-bet/check is so suspicious it puts of a warning light. I bet, he calls.

Turn A. Damn, he checks, I bet, he raises. I call down and he shows me AK.

The question is, is it alright to give up even with a hand like this (AQ on an AKK board) when someone does something so different as to seem suspicious. Or should I bet until raised and then fold? Or was this just bad luck and in general even this sort of jarring play is to be expected?

It's been awhile since I've posted hands, so I expect I've been picking up all sorts of terrible habits. I know I'm still playing a fraction of the hands I should (21/17 over the last 10k, 23/16.5 overall), and it's costing me a good number of bets overall. I plan to get back into specific hands and gameplay discussion as soon as I have a 50k sample to work from, this is the first step to ironing out some of my biggest holes.
