AQs in the sb Pre-flop cold call

[Frogic]

A friend of mine whose full table prowess I respect played this pf a bit strange(well atleast to how I play). What do you guys think?

UTG+2(15/9/1.36) open raises, folded to hero in the sb with AQs, bb is unknown and Hero calls.

Oh also table image wise, Hero says that he raised three hands in a row just before this and lost them all.

Oh I stoved some hand rangers, and had his equity at 48-52% which seems to makes the call look better too. Of course this doesn't take into account all the reverse implied odds when he has AK(s) and flop an A, or AA and the flop is Q high etc.

Were you debating whether he should have folded this or raised this?

Excellent question.

Villian raises 9% PF. That's a wide enough range to consider a 3-bet. I'm not sure his raise on the 3 previous hands affects this decision.
