No particular reads on villains. Only stats.

$0.02 NL - Holdem - 9 players

UTG: 100 BB (VPIP: 14.40, PFR: 6.09, 3Bet Preflop: 1.86, Hands: 494)
UTG+1: 115 BB (VPIP: 14.11, PFR: 11.04, 3Bet Preflop: 5.66, Hands: 330)
MP: 244 BB (VPIP: 12.61, PFR: 8.11, 3Bet Preflop: 3.33, Hands: 112)
MP+1: 73.5 BB (VPIP: 16.10, PFR: 0.15, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 658)
MP+2: 110 BB (VPIP: 15.86, PFR: 9.16, 3Bet Preflop: 3.04, Hands: 1,187)
CO: 74 BB (VPIP: 28.30, PFR: 3.40, 3Bet Preflop: 1.98, Hands: 271)
Hero (BTN): 109 BB
SB: 91 BB (VPIP: 9.64, PFR: 4.69, 3Bet Preflop: 1.48, Hands: 386)
BB: 129 BB (VPIP: 20.45, PFR: 11.36, 3Bet Preflop: 7.14, Hands: 90)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♥ A♠
Thoughts:

Spoiler

Against a raise from MP/LP, I usually 3-bet here or squeeze against a raiser+cold caller.
But, because the raise was coming from EP and the SB looked nit, I though he and the BB wouldn't engage in the hand, so I would end up playing in it HU and IP.

fold, UTG+1 raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 3 BB, SB calls 2.5 BB, BB calls 2 BB

Flop: (12 BB, 4 players) A♣ 2♦ 7♥
Thoughts:

Spoiler

Very dry board here, so betting 1/2 pot to keep worst Ax and maybe 88-99 in the hand.

SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets 7 BB, fold, BB calls 7 BB, fold

Turn: (26 BB, 2 players) 3♣
Thoughts:

Spoiler

Turn is a blank (most of the times), so checking behind to try to induce bluffs OTR, by worst hands, and to control the pot if villain holds AK, 77 or 22.

BB checks, Hero checks

River: (26 BB, 2 players) A♥
Thoughts:

Spoiler

I rarely make this play because I never know how much to pay, OTR.
If the villain bets pot size or shoves here, my first impulse is to reach the fold button :f_frown:
BB bets 17 BB, Hero calls 17 BB

Spoiler

BB shows T♦ Q♦ (One Pair, Aces)
(Pre 32%, Flop 6%, Turn 0%)
Hero shows Q♥ A♠ (Three of a Kind, Aces)
(Pre 68%, Flop 94%, Turn 100%)
Hero wins 56.5 BB

I think I might have bet the turn small-ish to keep him calling with wider range and preventing him from bluffing OTR. Then you often have the option to just check behind OTF if you feel like it. But I think your plan to check and induce some action is also fine. The board is quite safe for us here.
I would say your hand is definitely worth 2 streets here. When you checked the turn your idea was to induce bluffs. So when villain pulls the trigger and bets pot here, I think most of the time it should be called. That can depend a bit on what card comes OTR.

Euh... Why would the BB not engage in the hand? He has to pay 2BB to play a 9.5BB pot (and he's a VPIP of 20, yes ;) 90 hands).
It's surprising the SB joins indeed (small PP).

Personally I don't like to play this type of hands multi-way but maybe I have to rethink this one over. Interesting

You're right. I'm probably overthinking this... :f_rolleyes:
Without the calling of the SB, BB is getting almost 4:1(right?). On his shoes, I would avoid playing suited connectors without having position on any of the other players, unless if it was a family pot.
Maybe playing a PP, hoping for a set and trying to extract value of a possible overpair/TPTK. But too many "ifs", IMHO. I would simply avoid playing those hands OOP, against reasonable players.

preflop: It is okay to call a raise from utg with AQo in btn. AQo is strong enough for a 3handed pot in position. And against a regular utg, AQo might be too weak for a 3bet.

flop: You hit TPGK. You have 2 streets value at least. The board is dry, there is no need for protection. If you raise BB’s cbet, you will chase away all his bluffs. It is correct to call.

turn: pot control is my least concern. Sets would have bet. Every A will call, as will some pockets. But if you bet, all bluffs will fold. I don’t know what is more important ...

river: but if you check the turn for bluff induce, you have to call the river.
