On the one hand I feel like V will always have QJ here.
We have top two.... but we can also have AA, KK TT, and QJ ourselves to call with.

What would you do?

2BB open size seems suboptimal, at least @ NL2. I think some players use such a size at higher stakes, but if you play the "normal" TAG style which should be standard at microstakes I imagine using 2.5BB or even 3BB is better : you want make them pay to see the flop with their inferior holdings. Look at the action there, you got a 5-way flop with AK!, which is not the result you wanted.

I think it's a fold, because you showed strength throughout the hand on a very good board for your range and SB does not seem to care. Sometimes you fold the best hand when he just went crazy with AT, but I expect to see QJ, 44 or maybe even TT very often. I would call with 44.

We should certainly be opening bigger pre.

This is a really annoying spot, would be better if we didn't have the Kh to block all his potential combo draws. Don't think we can fold though. I'm assuming villain is a bad player when he takes this line so he can show up with all sorts of nonsense here.

Most of the GTOWizard ranges open 2bb utg in 6 max, so that should be fine.

Postflop, go with any reads here. I think its nutted often, but def can be fish punting.

I'm just folding with no reads, particularly in a micro zoom pool. Even some fish nut peddle, and players will just so rarely turn QT or JT into a bluff. So you're looking at AT and QJ alone a significant majority of the time imo, and both you and the board heavily block AT combos, while QJ will basically be all 16 combos. There's definitely some % chance that villain is just a whale who's punting, but even in good (fishy) pools there's only a handful of punty whales to go with all of the average fish and regs. And the regs at this level are like 80% bad nits that only go all-in with the nuts

I would also be checking this combo behind some % of the time OTT

Villain is almost without question a bad player, but a bad player can also have only the nuts with this line

readless i think it's a fold

I think the bottom of his range AQ/AJ/AT and the rest is QJ played weirdly or a set worried you have Qx/Jx and don't want you getting a cheap straight

don't see any pure bluffs here ever but he's going have Qxhh or Jxhh a bunch here
