Villain is unknown to me.
I struggle with having a weak Ace on a paired board.
My default is to CBET most paired boards in position against most villains.
But to barrel turn or to not barrel turn, that's the question...

iPoker - €0.20 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: €62.25 (VPIP: 25.53, PFR: 21.28, 3Bet Preflop: 20.00, Hands: 47)
CO: €22.41 (VPIP: 25.15, PFR: 19.73, 3Bet Preflop: 5.85, Hands: 849)
Hero (BTN): €20.14
SB: €21.35 (VPIP: 30.13, PFR: 23.76, 3Bet Preflop: 10.21, Hands: 1,104)

SB posts SB €0.10, BB posts BB €0.20

Pre Flop: (pot: €0.30) Hero has A♣ 7♥

fold, Hero raises to €0.40, fold, BB calls €0.20

Flop: (€0.90, 2 players) Q♦ 6♣ 6♦
BB checks, Hero bets €0.45, BB calls €0.45

Turn: (€1.80, 2 players) J♦
BB checks, Hero bets €1.26, BB calls €1.26

River: (€4.32, 2 players) 2♥
BB checks, Hero checks

What do you think? How bad is my turn bet? Give up after flop bet? Hope to split at showdown? Other thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi

I would just check back on the Flop. Ace high has decent showdown value, and betting the Flop mostly isolates you vs better hands. No better hand folds, few worse hands call.

I don't really like barreling the Turn without any additional equity. The advantage of betting here is that you fold out Ace highs and maybe underpairs to the Jack, but he will def not fold A:dX and QX and 6X and flushes.

You are betting 2/3 pot with little equity so you probably need him to fold ~35-40% of his range. Not quite sure if you have that, especially if his flop calling range is strong.
