Poker Stars, $0.08/$0.16 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

Hero (SB): $35.43 (221.4 bb)
BB: $8 (50 bb)
UTG: $11.44 (71.5 bb)
MP: $16 (100 bb)
CO: $27.43 (171.4 bb)
BTN: $12.92 (80.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q K
2 folds, CO raises to $0.64, BTN folds, Hero calls $0.56, BB folds

Flop: ($1.44) 4 3 3 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.96, Hero raises to $2.80, CO calls $1.84

Turn: ($7.04) 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $3.60, CO folds

Preflop: Usually im considering 3beting such hands, but this time decided to flat despite really bad position and given the fact that villain opened 4x. BB isnt overly aggressive shortie (regular).

Flop: Wasnt sure what line to take. As u usually say thinking player wont fold here to aggression (im not repping much), but this villain isnt good. If he has really big holding he should 3bet me on flop. How would you proceed here?

Turn: Isnt the greatest card for us, but i decided to continue my story. What betsizing should i use given our stack sizes (also what about flop raise size)?

Info on villain:

Hi gAsheks,

Preflop: he is a fish and hasn't folded to 3-bets so this should be a 3-bet for value.

Postflop: So are you raise folding the flop or going broke?

Fish are the ones that are calling station more so than regs so if you don't expect a reg to fold here a fish would not fold much either. However, you can bet many turns/rivers and you have good equity thus the raise is good (plus worse draws can call).

Hmmm, going broke with such stack sizes and with non nut FD might be suicidal.

In somewhat "good" case scenario going broke is breakeven.

If i throw in aces and kings going broke is a mistake.
P.s. Wasnt sure how much draws to throw in. If we start adding nut FD`s then its ugly.

There are a few things you are forgetting.

You do not need 50% equity to go broke.

You also can expect some FE if he 3-bets and you shove (vs let's say aggro fish).

So all those things are important to consider.

And yes adding nut FD in only makes sense along with KK/AA because they would go broke as well. And let's not forget 3x :)

So you see where I am going with this.
