I like your pre-flop play. Any size between 14 to 17 BBs is good, I think.

Flop: the worst flop possible. I would not have bet this flop, I think. Even if you considered him a fish, he is not a crazy maniac playing any two cards, so we can try to think a little bit about his range. What hands he would call your 3-bet after UTG+1 folded?

Given the information you provided, it is quite reasonable he may hold 77+, Ax, KT+, QT+, JTs, something like this, but I would always say that these worst hands are more unlikely. They are possible, but we should always expect the worst: remember that we are not dealing with someone who just called a raise, but also a big 3-bet. Also unlikely he has JJ or even TT (would he just call initial raise with these hands?)
Well, you block hands with queens, so it is still more likely he has an A or an K. You are doing good just against small pairs. So I think the correct is to check and evaluate his bet, if he does. But after the flop you should proceed carefully.

If he bets small, maybe we can call once, but I don't think we can call twice in this spot. Overall, giving up may be the best. I know, it hurts, but good players also make good folds. See, I have already seen Negreanu folding hands like this, and the opponent was bluffing, but he knew that against the overall range he was losing. We should always try to think in ranges. That is difficult when playing online or multitabling, but the more you do it, the better your results will be.
