Limper was unknown but we can assume a fish due to broken stack + limping

BB is 15/12 - 10% bet after 149 hands

PokerStars - $0.02 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 122 BB
SB: 91 BB
BB: 100 BB
UTG: 54.5 BB
MP: 105.5 BB
Hero (CO): 118.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q

UTG calls 1 BB, fold, Hero raises to 4 BB, fold, fold, BB raises to 11 BB, fold, Hero calls 7 BB
Is calling here ok given we have position?

Flop: (23.5 BB, 2 players) 6

BB bets 15 BB, Hero calls 15 BB

Turn: (53.5 BB, 2 players) 5

BB checks, Hero checks
Should we be block betting here mostly? If villain check calls then how would you proceed on the river in general?

River: (53.5 BB, 2 players) 3

BB bets 35 BB, Hero ?
I guess this is a fold pretty much all the time? I'm somewhat under repped with my line and entered the pot capped. Unless villain doesn't have much showdown value i can't see him turning hands into bluffs too often?

River would be a standard call. He could even value bet same or weaker hand.

Well i did call, but wasn't sure how profitable this would be in the long run. On the flip side, if villain checks to us, then how much would you bet? I'm thinking less that what villain opted for and roughly around 20-26bb?

What sort of range would you contruct in this spot for flatting pre? Would you mix in some suited connectors / gappers etc?

River really isn't even close to a fold.

Better hands rarely check to us twice. I'd bet pretty big if checked to, around what villain bet in this hand or a little bigger.

Thanks for the feedback. Guess I'm real nitty when it comes calling river bets, which is reflected in my river call efficiency in PT4..

Any advice on filters I can run to study these spots? And I'm general to leak find..

Cheers

I would 3bet AQo a fair amount here. Are you saying he has a 10% 3bet%? 149 hands isn't a big sample but I would lean 4bet against anyone over 8% 3bet.

Yes it was 10% and i agree we shouldn't think too much of that over such a small sample, however its not out of line and i'd assign villain a value heavy range here.

Wouldn't it be a waste 4betting AQo here? I'd have thought calling and playing IP > 4bet folding.. and use the junk combos instead?

I like to punish loose 3bettors if I can, I don't think offsuit hands do that well against them because they can often double barrel with their suited connectors. If you don't see this in your games a call could be better.
