Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 110.8 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)
Hero (SB): 102 BB
BB: 529.4 BB (VPIP: 15.38, PFR: 7.69, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 28)
UTG: 329 BB (VPIP: 10.91, PFR: 10.91, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 56)
MP: 100 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 5)
CO: 64.6 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 1)

Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has Q♣ A♣

fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 2.4 BB, Hero raises to 8 BB, fold, BTN raises to 17 BB, Hero calls 9 BB

Flop: (35 BB, 2 players) Q♥ 4♣ 7♠
Hero checks, BTN bets 12 BB, Hero calls 12 BB

Turn: (59 BB, 2 players) 6♠
Hero checks, BTN bets 25.4 BB, Hero calls 25.4 BB

River: (109.8 BB, 2 players) T♠
Hero checks, BTN bets 56.4 BB and is all-in, fold,

Preflop - I usually 3-bet this hand OOP vs BU and CO. This spot I face a min. 4-bet and here is the first thing - do you call here? He gave me excellent odds and even if he 4-bets only premium hands, I have a call here:

       Equity  Wygrana  Podział
MP2    28.60%   27.30%    1.31% { AQs }
MP3    71.40%   70.09%    1.31% { QQ+, AKs, AKo }

But I cannot exclude some 4-bet bluffs and I look much better:

       Equity  Wygrana  Podział
MP2    33.13%   31.67%    1.46% { AQs }
MP3    66.87%   65.41%    1.46% { QQ+, AKs, A2s, AKo }

Flop - hits TPTK and I don't want to go anywhere. His c-bet is really thin and x/c is OK i guess.
Turn - nothing changes and I think that here is a big question - do we call Turn, and if so, do I have to call a blank river? Or just call and river decide?
River - I beat only bluffs... don't think I can call here.

Question no. 1 - call 4-bet PF?
Question no. 2 - call Turn?

When you call a 4-bet and hit TPTK, and play passively, you simply don't go away 100bb deep.

Don't call 4-bets to begin with this shallow. Then if you do, you have to go with it all the way sometimes. It is the nut bluff catcher and your range is capped. He knows what you have (at best).

I think you played it fine. But tbh, just fold it preflop v4b until you've reached higher levels. It's a fine spot to call in, but in all honest a bit unnecessary. But as played I'd also x/c x/c x/f, might not be GTO, but it's more often QQ-AA than anything on this river.

That's one of these spots where I don't want to be in. Btw, he is not min 4betting, rather 2x'ing your size. Without any reads I like to fold here because a) it's 5NL and b) it's Zoom, where people usually have a very tight 4betting range.

As played I don't see people triple-barreling as a bluff in 4bet-pots. Therefore I tend towards folding as well. Even OTT I am already puking a little but I think you gotta call the 1/2 pot if you call AQ pre.

The 4b size is normal.
I would not call the river.
