Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (6 handed) - Converted at http://handhistoryconverter.com/

UTG ($5.40)
CO ($5.02)
BB ($5)
Button ($3.38)
Hero (MP) ($5)
SB ($2.90)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 9

, 9

UTG raises $0.13, Hero calls $0.13, CO calls $0.13, 3 folds

Flop: ($0.46) Q

, 5

, 4

(3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $0.24, CO calls $0.24, 1 fold

Turn: ($0.94) 8

(2 players)
Hero bets $0.45

Did I play it correctly ? I don't think that UTG would check the flop with Qx and CO shouldn't have almost any of them too (and he shouldn't have sets because he'd raise me) so I bet to take value from draws and to fold TT/some random hands which have good equity vs my hand.

Standard flop x for me, MW. You'll have 9-12 value combos otf better than 99 depending on whether you 3b or flat AQs vs utg open. The more players that are in the hand, the tighter you will want your barreling range for value to become. Basically you're turning 99 into a bluff since anything calling ott has you in rough shape most of the time.

I think betting or checking flop is okay, checking is better though as CO is still yet to act and UTG can still be ahead with JJ/TT here.

OTT, it's a clear check. By betting we only get called by better and fold out worse here, and either if draws call they're likely bluffing OTR which we are put in an awful spot where we have bet 2 streets and may call river with a hand only worth 1 street of value.

Turn bet is too thin KhJh has like 30% against you and vs a Q you are almost dead. Also: How should CO have almost no Qx?

I think that he has only QJs, QTs and sometimes AQs/Q9s as people are nits at NL5 FF so it's only 12 combos. It's small part of his range but you are right that "almost no" may not fit here well.

No reads, no stats but villain never has KQ or AQo here? If anything people on NL5 have a ton of AQo and KQo in this spot because people in micros dont Squeeze as much as they should.

I'd bet the flop if we had the position.
OOP I'd check.

That turn bet is baaaad imo.
What are you trying to accomplish with it?

I was trying to get value from draws as I assumed that he doesn't have much Qx becouse he squeezes KQo and AQo but now I know it was a mistake.
