2/5, five handed. Villain is a late 20s white guy, seems to be playing a fairly standard TAG game based on the small sample I have (we've only been playing for a couple of orbits.) 560 effective stacks.

V opens button to 15. SB flats, I overcall with QT in the BB.

Flop (45)
QT3

SB checks, I check, villain cbets 20, I check raise to 70. He says "how much," glances at his cards and calls fairly quickly.

Turn (185)
3

Not my favorite turn since now I lose to KK and AA but I'm still way ahead. I bet 120. Villain calls.

River (425)
2

There's 355 left, shove or check to induce?

Shove river. Villain is unlikely to have a draw after just flatting flop and turn with your sizing. You have plenty of better hands to bluffcatch with, like KQ.

What in the world do you think he's calling a shove with that you beat? And, he's not folding better. If you really think you are ahead, check to induce. If he checks behind, you weren't getting any more anyway.

This is where hero's image really matters. If villain thinks you might have a big draw that busted, he may make hero calls with all kinds of stuff.

Also depends on what you think villain has. If he feels drawy, it may be better to check to induce. If you think he's in a call down mode a qx it may be better to shove.

Or bet small like 175. Gets call from worse. We can be creative in our bet sizing sometimes. It confuses opponents and makes us harder to read.
