Guy is playing 52 VPIP. Was not sure either to check back or bet. Ended up betting. What do you think?

Any stats or info on villains? What do think about 3 bet/folding our hand preflop?

He played kind of fishy but he also had just 65 hands, and VPIP of 52... I didnt want to play big pot with AJo out of position. So i wasnt really thinking about doing that.

Flatting pre is fine but I also think 3betting seems ok against a fishy looking guy. We want to just 3bet wide for value and I think AJo is strong enough for that against a fish. Flatting is also good though because we have a fish in SB who can come along and we have position postflop. I'd probably 3bet it most of the time but you didn't give any indication of his PFR - assuming it's around 15-25.

I think it's ok to valuebet river. All draws missed so he might be more tempted to call but then again fish probably doesn't care about draws busting.

I also vote for a 3bet preflop. Flop and turn are fine. After that sizing on the turn, I would be inclined to check back the river, but betting for thin value is fine, I believe.

How do U mean out of position? U were on the BTN right? Only 65 hands but VPIP of 52 is huge so 3bet preflop. I thnik bet on the river is fine.

With no special info on the guy I'd flat too. QQ is possible (fish sometimes slowplay big hands), but unlikely, because otherwise you would have been min-raised. I'd check the river.
