2/5 NL (~$550 )
40yo, indian male playing LAG.

V1 ($1200) 60-70 yr/old white male LAG
V2 (~2.5 K) 30s black male TAG
V3 (800) 40's white male tight/passive.

Prev. history: On my way to work on my off day to catch up and decided to play a few hands first.

First hand I played was with V1 who raised to $20 with KJ os PRE and lost to my flopped trips on a K55 board where i called on the CO with A5ss. V1 bet the whole way and called my shove on the river.
I doubled up again about 20 minutes later calling down a shove on the river with Ace high so i was comfortable with my read at the table.

Hand in question.

V1 is UTG+1 and raises to $35
HERO calls from the SB with AQ (mistake #1, poss due to the fact that I decided to return a call from an emergency patient and was just hanging up)
V2 and V3 from the blinds call.

FLOP (~140) 3Q8
checked to V1 who bets $65.
Hero raises to $165. V2,V3 folds, V1 calls.
turn (~$470) 5
Hero?

Pre is iffy. I hate playing oop, and probably just chuck it here, but im a position nit.

Flop c/r isnt great, I probably just flat given the good price and inability to fold anything better. You have the best hand already a lot of the time, and when the turn blanks you are in a tough spot.

When you turn the nuts I think the best plan is to go 150/200, and hope he has KK with a club.

I'm on the fence with pre flop but don't hate it.
Flop is villain dependent, I guess we could have some FE on brick turns but I don't know what your plan was?
Were you betting anything but an A Q or C?

I like $275-$300 OTT and most likely just bond away OTR.

Ps
Unless a patient is in critical, tell the nurse to shove an IV in him cause you're in the middle if a big hand....

Some of the action you described above is a bit confusing but this may be a good spot to 3-bet pre.

On the flop, playing this hand OOP there is definitely a case to be made for check raising here. Our equity here is really good vs villains range of hands even AA and KK. We do often fold out the other players, but at the same time we build a pot which is good for our hand here and if villain has a flush draw he may even reshove on us.

On turn just keep betting. Due to stack sizes you can bet fairly small and still have him (in his mind) priced in to call a river bet.

3b pfr against this V and donk away

I shoved for $350 on the turn, the V seemed upset but called and flipped over
AA. River bricked and I got up and left.
My question was if i shouldve shoved the turn or just check folded to a bet.
Given that the V called my raise and narrowed his range a bit to lean towards an overpair given how the hand played out. Was checking the turn and hoping that V will check behind an option or is that too passive of a line?

Unless your description is wrong, you have the nuts on the turn and river.

sorry, sometimes I dont ever know what im thinking when i type.
It was an non club 5, ill go and edit the OPost.

Now I understand why the replies made no sense.

Calling pre was ok if you play well post, however after seeing how you played it I would say fold pre at this time.

Chk raising the flop could be a mistake if he doesnt raise KQ and QJ from that position. He will flop a flush draw about 5% with any normal range here. The price for him having a Qx hand and calling vs him having air and folding or having AA KK and re-raising is too long of a shot.

If he is a high cbettor then let him cbet and call. If he is not, then donk half pot and read the situation. Your hand is usually way ahead or way behind here. Not too much in between unless he raises every combo of KQ QJ in this position.

Some may see our hand as super equity so just press the gas to the floor but I doubt that shows the best results since it could fold out weaker hands often and get squashed by AA KK as it should have on the flop. Turned out we were decent dog by one of the hands that would always continue. QJ could easily call flop and fold turn so that wouldnt be a great success there either. he would do what with KQ there? I dunno.

$200 turn bet and hope board doesn't pair on river, easy game.
