Villain is loose preflop and sometimes tries to outplay his opponent in heads up pots.

Ultimate Bet 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A:spade:, Q:heart:.
Hero raises.

Flop: (5.33 SB) J:spade:, Q:club:, 5:spade: (2 players)
Hero bets, CO folds.

Final Pot: 5.16 BB

I felt like an idiot when he folded to my 3-bet. This is generally how I play this hand against most opponents but maybe I could have made more playing it differently? If I do play it differently against a guy who makes moves, how should I play it?

Sure you would have one an extra sb had you c/red the turn, but occasionally he will have a hand he may call down with.

At least you found an easy and cheap line to beat this guy HU.

Why?

I bet he felt like a bigger idiot.

There's absolutely no reason not to raise here, unless you saw his cards and he has 2d-7d. Then you can wait until the river.

im not sure what the problem is? you won the hand when you had a good hand not a great hand...there are a ton of draws out there and u made sure that they werent able to continue...

I guess I felt like against an opponent like this I could get more value by playing it a little less aggressively. He's not folding to a 3 bet on the flop with any flush or straight draw...

It seems like everyone thinks I played this fine though. I guess I'm looking for anyone who thinks I should have been looking for more value against a player like this? Anyone out there with different opinions?

That's a bad board to let him draw cheaply, 2 spades plus QJ. I would play just like you did, AQ is not a trap hand when you only have TPTK. You'd feel stupid if you let him hit his set of 7's on the turn and jam it drawing dead.
