$1/2. This hand was exact next hand from the one I just posted where I folded 88 to V2 on a flop of 555.

V is fairly nitty, ABC type player.

Limps to V $350 raises to $17 from CO. I've been very accurate putting him on a super tight range all night. Really confident right now playing him. I don't believe he's thinking whatsoever about what I might have, just playing his cards.

Hero in SB at $250ish w/ 66. I have V on almost exactly a scared AK here, maybe AQs. I don't see him opening large pairs or smaller pairs this way. No chance he's light. I'm playing it like it's AK face up. I'm ahead of the cards and ahead of the player, so I'm OK playing here OOP. 3b, unless huge, would get called. I'm going to fade an AKQ on the flop, donk it and scoop. BB folds. I realized most will say fold pre but in game with this V and read it'll never be a fold. Only preflop question for the forum is if you had a hole cam and saw the AK, would you call, raise or fold here? I like my play based on V and read but always looking to learn.

Pot $32

Flop is Q66r. Jackpot. Hero checks, V bets $35. Hero calls.

Pot is $101

Turn is 5r. Hero checks, V bets $35, Hero tank calls.

River is Q. Double jackpot. Hero thinks that V is either done betting the hand or has AQ. I'm either getting paid on a lead or checked back to. I have even seen V's check back a Q here because "I knew we were chopping". If V checks back a Q here I'd kick both of us in the balls and never forgive either of us. I open shove for my remaining $160-170, right at a PSB, confident I'll get called by a Q. Thoughts?

I feel like flop check call is standard. Really not sure. I don't flop quads OOP into an aggressor often enough that I had a plan for this. Don't really like the turn check but couldn't figure out why I'd show strength into a firing aggressor. Maybe the river donk shove is idiotic, no idea. Any thoughts on flop, turn and river are appreciated. Thanks.

Barring multiple limpers being <100$, Pre is good, no reason to write a paragraph justifying it. Postflop seems good. As you say on the river, the guaranteed way to stack Qx is shoving, and value will be tough to come by from anything, but may as well give him a chance to call.

Just shove. He should call with a Q and you won't get paid by anything else regardless.

Flop is OK, but a donk of about $20 would have been interesting. Turn is questionable, but if he's that tight, a raise will probably just get him to fold. He might have called with AQ, KK or AA, though. Obviously he's never folding QQ

V had KhQh and snapped called the shove. For a quick second I though he showed QQ and we hit the bad beat. Thanks for the review, check/call, check/call, donk all in isn't a line I've taken too many times.
