Villain is unknown (9/9 over 35 hands).

Poker Stars $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em - 9 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

MP2: $11.10
CO: $10.15
BTN: $10.00
SB: $10.50
BB: $19.10
UTG: $10.00
UTG+1: $10.00
Hero (UTG+2): $11.25
MP1: $13.15

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is UTG+2 with K

UTG raises to $0.30, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.90, 6 folds, UTG raises to $2.50, Hero calls $1.60

Flop: ($5.15) Q

(2 players)
UTG bets $1.50, Hero calls $1.50

Turn: ($8.15) 6

(2 players)
UTG bets $6 all in, Hero...???

Is this a snap call? (why call flop to fold brick turn??)
Only hand that I can beat that is 4betting pre is..., well I think I'm not beating anything here (except A

).
Then maybe reraise/shove flop? Or reraise/fold to shove?
What is the best line in these overpair situations against unknowns?

Always start with ranges. Unless it is BvB, most people's 4bet range is pretty narrow. AA and KK, maybe AKs and QQ. If it is that wide, you should just get it in pf. If it is only AA and KK, you should fold. Calling really isn't a good option. You really don't have much you can hit and if they don't hit on the flop, you aren't getting any more money out of them anyway. If you're up against AA, you're going to have to call off your stack anyway on a non ace flop.

As played, if you put him on the maximum range, you're a 3.5:1 underdog to his range and he's offering you about 4:1. If you remove all non heart AK, you're not even getting odds to call. Fold.
