Question Top pair facing shove on flop

Villain 40/0 over 30 hands. Raised cbets 3/4 times so far. What the fuck?

Absolute/UB Cereus No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Absolute/UB Cereus Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($50.90)
SB ($96.22)
BB ($54)
UTG ($46.06)
Hero (MP) ($61.47)
CO ($53.99)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A, Q
UTG calls $0.50, Hero bets $2.25, CO calls $2.25, 3 folds, UTG calls $1.75

Flop: ($7.50) 3, A, 7 (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $5, 1 fold, UTG raises to $43.81 (All-In), Hero..

His stats certainly look fishy but it is over only 30 hands.

He has c-raised a few c-bets so far - but has he check- shoved?

I'd say this is a fold - looks to me like he has limp-called with a small pair and hit a set.

What happened in the hand?

Looks like a set or aces up, especially with the preflop utg limp/call. If he's a maniac, it's a different story of course, but with so little history, I think you have to fold.

This is not a snapcall, you should type "ty4monies" in the chat before calling.

Well, seriously... He's hand doesn't make much sense for a strong made hand. You only have to be good about 40% of the time here, so I would call this. If this was NL10 I could consider folding, but at NL50 I am not folding strong top pair to such a weird line.

Why the hell would he try to maximize FE if he had a set? He probably has a flush draw or TP+FD.

That's true if he's a tag, but the 40/0 players like to shove their big hands cuz they're afraid of playing it out (for some reason).

My initial thought was he wanted FE, so likely hands were flush draws.

b/c everyone is results oriented I snapcalled (like didn't even think about it snap called) and he showed me 73o and I didn't suck out.

his value range is so narrow though that I don't think folding is an option

Hmm, in hindsight, 73o and flush draws are probably the only hands he plays this way.
Im calling all day long
