Yeah, that's why reads are important here. A nitty player would have AQ near the bottom end of his range UTG, so there aren't any hands you're getting value out of here by 3betting. In fact since our hand fares so badly against a tight player's opening range UTG, a fold makes sense. What was your logic behind 3betting? If it was "I have a nice hand, I'm going to raise", that's level 0 thinking, and it's time to start moving up the levels.
