$1/2

$200 Effective stacks (hero covers)

Hero - Played about 3 orbits at the table. One V keeps calling hero "the bully" because he's raised in the CO + button a bunch of times on his blinds. Hasn't showed down a hand.

V1 - 44 y/o black guy with a Yankees hat. Has loose-passive fish written all over him. On one hand he completed QQ from the SB and c/c three streets on a J64K7 board.

V2 - Unknown 30 y/o Asian. Unknown in that he hasn't played any hands. So, I guess it's known that's he's at least very tight pre-flop.

Thoughts?

I like your line a lot.

3-bet flop/shove turn.

You have a lag/aggro image. You need to exploit it.

Bet more on flop. Bet turn to get stacks in otr.

Since v2 is never betting the turn why not bet for value?

I would've bet more on the river but other than that I am completely fine with the line.

Flop c-bet needs to be bigger. Either 20 or 25. Small Bet sizing mistakes on early streets are compounded in later streets costing you a lot of value.
15 on flop + 30 turn + 60 river = 105.
25 flop + 55 turn + 120 river = 200
Bet as big as you think will be called by ranges you are likely ahead of.

In this hand, a 20 c-bet means v raise would need to be at least 40 instead of the 30, getting more money in the pot.

AP, I min 3bet to 60 with plan to fold to 4bet. V that check calls down with QQ will never 4 bet here with anything that AA is ahead of.

If v just calls 3bet, shove turn.

3! flop would be bad after V2 check calls a bet and a raise.

I like the line you took OP but I would value bet/fold the river bigger. Somewhere between $70-$80.

I would've bet river for bigger but other than that I don't see how I would've played it differently.

Bet $20 on flop. I would bet call a shove on turn $50. That is a great turn for you. You now really only lose to 99, 55, and 52s. You counterfeit 95s and they can't hit a higher two pairs on river. Also you want to bet to charge 43 and set up a river shove.

If they have you beat when the second best card comes on the turn, it's a cooler

Great line. I think your preflop and flop bet sizes are ok ($20 on the flop would be better). Do not re-raise the flop after a min raise and an EP cold call. Call with your aces, end the action, and evaluate turn. I think you wisely check the turn. On the river, V2 has passed on 3 chances to bet/raise in this hand. We probably beat his 9 or worse pocket pair. V1 strangely min check-raised then didn't bet the turn. Even if he turned a boat, you would expect him to bet. I think you correctly got for a river value bet, but it needs to be more, about $60-80.

A little more otf, fine with flop and turn play though. OTR I don't know what to make of the black guy's flop min raise and I'd kind of just ignore it after the turn check behind, so Id just bet the most I can expect worse to call. You usually go for like 2/3 or 3/4 pot, but I don't know if these guys are thinking in terms of percent of the pot, they're probably just thinking absolute value in terms of dollars. I'd bet ~$50.

$50 turn/shove river

Grunch
I would have bet 20 on the flop and 3b that minraise. I would maybe even go to 100 total but at least 80. Id expect V2 to fade away. If V2 sticks around I would probably slow down and reevaluate the turn. If not jam turn.

I bet turn all day,but other than that...well played...in guessing V1 showed up with A-9 or 10-10 and Villian had exactly qq?
