$0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 2 Players

Hero (BB): $11.89 (118.9 bb)
SB: $11.03 (110.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6 Q
SB raises to $0.20, Hero raises to $0.65, SB calls $0.45

Flop: ($1.30) 5 4 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.70, SB calls $0.70

Turn: ($2.70) T (2 players)
Hero bets $1.70, SB calls $1.70

River: ($6.10) Q (2 players)
Hero checks, SB bets $3.40, Hero calls $3.40

This hand is in my standard 3bet bluff range. Vilain was not too agressive, he was playing a little too tight.

My river check/call should be the best play since villain can have a lot of busted draws and hands that don't want to go shodown that are bluffing. Am I right/ is this the best line here? We don't accomplish much by barreling the river right?

Your turn bet is too big, otherwise fine.

Oh, didn't notice that thanks. Just wondering if we are missing money from 66-99 because they will x back the river when I play this hand this way. They might hero call otr if I shove because I have also missed flushes etc. in my range.

Results:

Spoiler

$12.90 pot
Final Board: 5 4 3 T Q
Hero mucked 6 Q and won $12.04 ($5.59 net)
SB showed J K and lost (-$6.45 net)

I just don't really think 3betting with Q6s is fine, even if he was playing a little tight.
He open raised pre ; you will be playing post-flop OOP.

As played, I would stab at this pot $1.10 OTF. You have a combo-draw, board is unlikely to have helped the villain
I would be happy to get it right away.

I wouldn't bet on turn with Qhigh, villain would call you with any pair 77+ ,Tx, Ax types of hands.
OTR this is just a check/call

Make turn bet 1/2 and it will look better.

As others have said, bet turn a bit smaller and this looks just fine.

Villain does not need to fold often to our bet for it to be +ev because we have a strong draw(high equity vs almost any hand). Also we want him to fold his A and K highs because we have no showdown value.

Also by betting on the turn we can bluffjam river if we miss.

Edit: also most of our 3betting range is betting on the turn (big pairs for example)

We are telling the story.
If we fold high cards with equity, it will be fine.
And in addition we have a draw.
