110BB effective.
I cover all players.

Villain and I have played over 400-500 hands together over time. He is a slightly losing player over time from what I've seen. He likes to mix up the hands he plays sometimes so he is far from tight but not completely loose as he chooses his spots wisely. He also does bluff sometimes so he is far from straightforward. His losing in the long run comes from bluffing in questionable spots occasionally.

I am a standard TAG player. I switch it up with SC sometimes. I've only shown strong hands and a flopped straight with connectors so far in this session.

6 limpers. I raise to 16 SB with AQo.
Villain calls MP.

This type of raise I thought would just take it down as physically-telling nobody loved their hand to begin with.

Flop KJ8r. I c-bet $24 into $42 pot. Villain Calls fairly quickly.
At this point I put him on a K or J possibly 1010 as he has folded to c-bets many times in the past and current session.

Turn Q. I check. Villain bets $24. I call.

I think the check was a mistake. Thoughts?
If he doesn't have a K then the bet may win the hand. If he has a K then I'm digging the whole deeper.

River 8. I check. Villain bets $45.
I've butchered the hand at this point looking back at it as the 8 has given me two pair which I should be happy about, yet I check.

Call/Raise/Fold?
I think raising is foolish though as I'm only getting called my better.

What can we beat here?

We beat plenty. A call is standard.

Villain could easily have floated the flop hoping to take it away on the turn. He bet $24 into $90 on the turn and $45 into $136 on the river. He's laying us odds of 4:1. We're easily ahead more than 1 in 5 times (which is all we need to be profitable) so just snap off his bet and be cool with the outcome.

Check/call on turn and river were fine. Flop bet seems a bit small but defendable.

I don't mind setting our price vs the K on the river 8 with a block bet. Curiosity may call us, anything much stronger will raise and we can fold. If we let him bet, it may put us in a tougher spot.

I'd fold turn

KQJ8 board is just horrible for AQ.

Seriously, what do we beat? JT, J9, TT, 99, AJ. That's probably less than 25% of V's range that calls our flop cbet.

V is taking us to Value town and we need to get off on the first stop, which is the turn imo.

I don't fault a flop c-bet as that will normally fold out TT, or baby pairs...

Once he calls the flop c-bet we know that flop is dead in the middle of his range. Hell, I'm not even sure we want to see an Ace on the turn let alone the Queen.

IMO, queen is the worst card for us. It is a reverse implied odds card as it gives us "just enough" to pay off villain. Basically, the turn is our ticket to value town.

Fold turn.

KQJ8 is just a horrible board for AQ

Villains turn sizing is so weird..... If we were deeper I like a raise on the turn. As played I fold river

It's tough to play out of position, isn't it?

I think turn bet could be a block bet/protection bet which I would think could include majority of his flop calling range. I fold river as played, looks like his going for value

I think your pre-flop raise is too small. No one is going away, at least not at the tables I play.

Your c-bet is on the smallish side. Why so small?

Fold turn.

Fold river.

Unless u think you are ahead of his range on the turn fold the turn. If you decide to c/c turn then u have to c/c river too. Folding turn is better IMO. Not a good turn to double barrel either. River u can't really rep anything so easy fold.
