V is a man in his 50s a bit loosey. Will call pre widely and postflop a bit less wide. Not too passive nor too aggressive. Difficult to define his profile. He is a bit tilted because he reloaded for another $250

Hero. Standard TAG. $350

Hero opens Q Q on CO to $11, V calls on SB

F ($25): Q A K

V checks, H bets $15, V raises to $35, H calls

T ($95): 3

V checks, H checks

R ($95): K

V checks, H bets $100, V folds

The idea to bet $100 was to make him pay with flushes or trip kings, if any.

Thoughts on this hand?

Looks fine to me. I usually go a little bigger pre. Flop is fine. Turn might be a bet, but I understand the check. River should be $50 - $60 for value.

3-bet flop is definitely an option. These small flop raises are typically not the nutted hands, but often a good Ax like AJ/AT. Some odd 2pair hands sneak in here too but those hands usually blast flop. You can basically click it back to like $80-90 if you want.

After only calling flop, turn is now a must bet IMO. I'd go $60. You have a hand that can get value on blank rivers after V calls turn, missing this bet makes you miss out on a far larger river value bet. Especially against a guy that's probably not in the mood to fold right now.

I like the big river bet. Random stuff will rarely call smaller bets anyways, so much of his range is Ax/Kx bluff catchers that you make more $ against by betting large.

I would 3bet the flop once he check raises us. He has 200 behind, and since he's tilted he's probably not even folding to a jam.
