8 handed, $0.05/$0.10
Hero: AA UTG
Stacks: Hero: $11.20, BB: $11.65, Dealer: $13.64

Preflop: Hero raises to $0.30, Dealer and BB call

Flop ($0.91): 5sQdTh
BB checks, Hero bets $0.47, Dealer calls, BB folds

Turn: ($1.80): (5sQdTh)-8h
Hero bets $1.41, Dealer calls

River ($4.48): (5sQdTh8h)-Ts
Hero bets $3.53, Dealer raises to $11.46 all in
Is this a call or a fold?

Do you have stats on villain?

I like to open for a little larger from UTG as I don't like to play against too many players OOP with a premium heavy range - so like 35 or 40c here.

Bet more on flop.

River: Unless you think villain is capable of doing this with a busted draw it's a fold. Almost always at 10nl it's a fold from my experience.

Edit: Is this a home game? That would weigh it more in the bluff direction for sure.

Is the extra value from queens and good draws worth missing out on value from tens and bad draws?

Yeah, the pot odds were good, but I ultimately didn't think my opponent was capable of pulling off the bluff, so I folded.

Not a home game, and I have no info on the opponent.

I had a VERY similar hand to this live recently. My villain turned over a suited connector, that flopped 2nd pair and that tripped on the river.

In addition to a larger cbet Id hold off on the 3rd barrel. You can induce bluffs with missed draws and excercise pot control if you do.

Prefer bet/fold to check/call honestly. Most Vs at FR seem far more likely to call a bet with AQ/KQ/JQ than they are to bet for value and there's not a lot of guys making large river bluffs with missed draws. In fact most villains are probably checking back Qx so often and bluffing so little that x/fold might be better than x/call.
