SB: $48.59 (97.2 bb)
Hero (BB): $50.48 (101 bb)
UTG: $52.29 (104.6 bb)
MP: $50.39 (100.8 bb)
CO: $50 (100 bb)
BTN: $58.32 (116.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K♥: Q♠:
3 folds, BTN raises to $1.50, SB folds, Hero raises to $5, BTN calls $3.50

Flop: ($10.25) A♠: Q♦: 7♥: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

Turn: ($10.25) 2♦: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

River: ($10.25) 5♣: (2 players)
Hero bets $7, BTN raises to $24.81, Hero???

Preflop: Villain plays 30/23 in 112 hands, folds 33% to 3bets. I sometimes call KQo vs 3x and sometimes 3bet. I think this player is a good target for 3betting because is capable of calling some worse hands and alot of dominated hands.

Flop: The plan was to check/call. I would expect this kind of player to bet.

Turn: Maybe I can value bet, but I decided to check/call and value bet river if he checks. I probably don't have clear 2 streets of value anyway and have prety stable showdown value, also not afraid of that diamond that much.

River: Now I think I have a clear value bet. Expect him to call worse Qx and alot of 3rd pairs. When he decided to raise, I'm not sure if I have required equity to call (30% on averge). I would expect him to bluff the flop or turn if he is into bluffing, but we definitelly cant discuont bluffs.

Not sure what to think of his river move. I doubt he would check twice an ace or a set. The only reasonable hand is 55 that you lose against I think, and I would most likely make a hero call, but nasty spot for when you play your hand almost face up.

Would you cbet the flop? If yes, would you continue on later streets?

Certainly an odd line for villain to take. I think you may have induced a bluff raise with your passive line on flop and turn. As played I think I would call because it is hard to see him raising an ace for value on the river. 55s or some very bizarre two pair could make sense but otherwise his raise doesn't make a wholeness lot of sense. I think it would Ben better to Chet this flop because of your range adv. x/c turn and x/evaluate river would be a preferable line I believe.

The riverbet doesn't accomplish alot, you're basicly vbetting vs QJs, which you block yourself.
He could've easily slowplayed weak Ax, that has an easy call here, or run into some set or other 2p that decides to raise now.

I would x river, make it look like we have TT/JJ, let him stab with random unpaired hand.

Also if you do decide to bet here, i wouldn't choose the 70% sizing, for the same reasons already mentioned.
