PokerStars - $0.10 Ante $0.01 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 183.8 BB
SB: 104.4 BB
BB: 101 BB
UTG: 100 BB
Hero (MP): 110.1 BB
CO: 97.1 BB

6 players post ante of 0.1 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.1 BB) Hero has 9 A

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, CO calls 3 BB, fold, fold, fold

This is a standard open for me.

Flop: (8.1 BB, 2 players) A Q 4
Hero bets 3.9 BB, CO calls 3.9 BB

Standard cbet for me here with top pair and the nut flush draw

Turn: (15.9 BB, 2 players) 6
Hero checks, CO bets 14 BB, Hero calls 14 BB

When villain calls here I'm looking to get two streets of value, I don't think this is a three streets hand. Given that IU'm drawing to the nuts maybe I want to take two streets on flop and turn and give myself a chance to get three streets if we hit the nuts?

River: (43.9 BB, 2 players) 4
Hero bets 17 BB, CO raises to 76.1 BB and is all-in

I go for my second street of value here and get raised. I am pretty sure I should fold here but I'm struggling to put him on a hand. I think AQ, QQ should be raising me preflop, there is only one combination of 44 left, I think 66 folds on the flop and I'm not sure that A4 or A6 is calling pre. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

you're going for "I have AJ-A2 pls don't make me call a big bet"
ppl tend to play well when you tell them what you have

river you cannot lead because you don't have enough strong hands ap, also because you're in bluff catching mode at this point, you hope to pick up money from his bluffs, whereas he won't get a chance to do it if you bet into him
xc a reasonably sized bet, if he jams you prob have to fold
flop can be smaller to put his JJ-55 in a tougher spot

Much appreciated. I think it's safe to say I butchered this hand given the feedback across a couple of places
