Fast-Fold poker,
SB is playing 18/16 overall — 223 hands

Pacific Poker - $0.05 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $5.57
SB: $5.78
Hero (BB): $6.16
UTG: $5.00
MP: $7.60
CO: $5.00

SB posts SB $0.02, Hero posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has Q♣:Q♥:

UTG calls $0.05, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to $0.20, Hero raises to $0.80, fold, SB calls $0.60 <<< pretty much must 3Bet to iso SB

Flop: ($1.65, 2 players) 6♦:3♣:6♥:
SB checks, Hero bets $1.08 I elected to go for a bigger sizing — thinking I could get called by worse pocket pairs, and to protect against the AT+ type hands

Is the bet size appropriate?

Half pot is fine really. Just be concerned about how to get it in smoothly by the river.

Board is dry. 40% Cbet seems big enough and it's not to difficult to get all the chips in the middle on the river in a 3bet pot after your 4x sizing.

Cheers,

SB vs EP could iso EP hands like 22-AA, Axs, Kxs, BB, suited conectors, and call your 3B hands like AJo+, ATs+, pairs 88-JJ, KQs. Hands like AA, KK he could 4B.
Prefolp and flop bets are good in NL5.
If he called 66 so you are out but sometime it happend, otherwise you are better and bet is good for protection vs AT+, KQ.

It's an interesting hand given that the UTG limps in because it often changes the dynamic of the speculative range that overcalls vs the 3bet. Like, all of a sudden PP becomes sticky or more sticky on innocuous board textures.

I still consider this situation oop so I like the larger 3bet size of 4x-5x. In this particular case though, I believe TBAI > DBAI for value, and I don't think we should bluff here although DB still seems +EV.

As it turns out, the hand ended there.

no i don't see any case for such a large sizing on this board. i like 1/3rd pot.

You both are slightly deeper than 100bb. If his fold to 3 bet stats are more than 30% might consider just 3x because they will fold a lot even to that amount. If less 4x should be fine. You might even get 4 bet if they're aggro and then just get stacks in pre if they've raised enough or flat and see a flop playing IP is great with QQ BvB.

The flop cbet is ok if you expect them to only call with PP, 6x and fold everything else. Yes you're fine to do this. There's never really 45s in his range there I don't think. Not many 6x hands either..so just going broke on this flop against unknown seems fine honestly! 225 hands is not a lot to draw from..

Just adding what bets will be needed to get all in by the river if kings and aces don't come is pretty much all I'm thinking about here in this situation.

He will turn up with A6s and 33 occasionally as well as AA and KK if he decided to slow play pre but that's poker and more worse hands will call this than ones that are beating you so just go broke!

Cheers.
