2/4: AA vs flop x/r against known weak/tight reg 2/4: AA vs flop x/r against known weak/tight reg

Friday night 2/4 game. The table is decent, a mix of regs, fun players and tourists.

Hero: 35 yo wg, all 3 villains probably see me as a solid, TAG reg. I have been running godlike. I've shown down AA no less than 5 times already in ~4 hrs of play, winning every time. Yup, I lead a privileged life

V1/UTG+1: MAWG, weak passive fish, limp/calls way too much, very stationy post as well. He did make a big bet otr and istamucked when called at least 4 times already tonight.

V2/MP/MAIN VILLAIN: 35 yo asian guy, I've seen him before, pretty bad reg, very tight and passive. Limp/folds a lot pre and can be a bit trappy post. Literally showed down only 1 hand tonight, a flopped straight flush which he checked twice in a MW pot .

V3/BB: somewhat decent reg, fun talkative 30 yo turkish guy. Probably calls too often pre, valuebets to little post, but has some moves.

OTTH:
V1/UTG+1 (stack 1k) calls 4
V2/MP (stack 600) calls 4
Hero/HJ (stack covers) raises to 28 with red AA
V3/BB (stack 800) calls
V1 calls
V2 calls, begrudgingly i think.

Flop (pot:110):
QQ6 r

All check to Hero.
Hero bets 28.

My sizing here sucks, i want to bet small, but probably more like 40-50 given how stationy V1 and V3 are. Also V2 likely has a lot of 77-TT in his range. Anyway...

V1 and V3 fold,
V2 raises to 90,
Hero calls.

Obviously a sucky spot, but i sized so small that he might want to get protection with 77+. Also, given the earlier straightflush hand he likely just flats with Qx. I'm also not sure he calls pre with QJ/QT, probably only the suited ones. He definitely has AQ and KQ tho.

Turn (290):
QQ6r 6

V2 checks,
Hero checks.

The 6 is pretty much a blank, he almost never has 6x unless it's quads. He probably does check Qx some of the time here.

River (290):
QQ66 7

V2 bets 144.
Hero....?

I kinda hate folding in these type of spots, but there are no missed draws and villain is obviously not the agressive type. On the other hand the odds to call are decent, and i don't think he typically plays Qx this way.

As always all feedback is welcome, so let me know what you think about any part of the hand.
Thanks in advance.

I would call expecting to see smaller pocket pairs often enough, even AA/KK. I think you olayed it ok other than the flop bet could have been a bit bigger like you said.

I think you almost always get shown a boat here, villain limped pre so it is hard for him to have a worse pocket pair, and he check raised a bet+call, I think you maybe should let it go on the flop but definitely on the river.

Come on man.

I'd check back this flop, btw, betting small is fine, but not if you're going to use it as an excuse to justify calling a x/r from a tight passive player.

I really dislike your c-bet sizing. I know that 25%-33% pot sized bets are the "in" thing, but these sizings are screaming "bluff raise me." And then when you do get raised, you have no idea if your small sizing actually induced a bluff raise.

So either bet half pot on this board, or check. On a QQ6r board, with deepish stacks, I probably check.

EZ x flop I think, such a WA/WB situation.

Every time I talk myself into calling a raise from a passive player on this kind of board, I end up folding the turn when they bomb. It's cheaper to just fold and make sure the cards get buried in the muck.

It isn't a mistake to get bluffed occasionally, aslong as you're playing your qx/boats like this. Checking is obviously good too especially with aa.

Flop bet is actually perfect. I like it. I call river too. Well played.
