PokerStars - $0.05 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
BTN: 101.8 BB
Hero (SB): 105.6 BB
BB: 294 BB
UTG: 100.8 BB
MP: 100 BB
CO: 255 BB
Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A
Q
UTG raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 12 BB, fold, UTG calls 9 BB
Flop: (25 BB, 2 players) 7
8 Q
Hero bets 8.2 BB, UTG calls 8.2 BB
Turn: (41.4 BB, 2 players) 4
Hero bets 19.8 BB, fold
Hero wins 39.6 BB
PREFLOP
Clear 3b and fold to 4b.
FLOP
Me and V have same amount of flushes. But I have better flushes and range advantage.
TURN
Now I bet polarized. 4s is perfect brick. AQs is at the top of my range. I usually bet 75%. But here I make it about half a pot to make him call his JJ, TT, 99 and still give him bad price for drawing to a flush. I don't know whether it's a valid argument. I should have probably bet 75% to make most value from KQs, KQo, QJs.

Still, micro players have a tighter 3bet calling range from early positions than the same GTO Wizard offers.
That's why I don't think we'll have a range advantage on this flop.
But in practice, opponents at the micros will not exploit us if we play liner poker on mono boards.
That's why your line with two small bets is fine.

This is a report created by Range Research for poker stars nl10 pool.
I used these parameters for the report:
MP1 means UTG for 6max games.
The report shows which hands opponents showed at showdown after they made 3bet to UTGvsSB-BB (Added BB for more sample).
The number below each hand in the matrix shows how many times the opponents have shown that hand at a showdown.
