$22.05 pot ($0.99 rake)
Final Board: 6 3 Q T 6
Hero mucked Q K and lost (-$10.85 net)
CO showed Q A and won $21.06 ($10.21 net)

How would you play this hand? I decided to check/call on the turn because valuebetting is not that profitable because villain has all sets and AQ in his range, and I'm not getting value from many worst hands, QJs and JJ are the only ones I can imagine. Then on the river I levelled myself into calling, thinking that villain could still bet with his flouts but the truth is that villains doesnt have that many flouts on this type of board. Villain has also sets and AQ in his range that are valuebetting. Tough hand in my opinion, hard to fold at any point but I guess I should.

Hey Mesisification,

Flop cbet for value is fine.

Value on turn is thin so totally fine to put this in our x/c range.

TPGK is likely one of the hands we should be x/c twice with after we check the turn, but it depends how aggro villain is. Vs a lot of 25nl regs it's certainly not a big mistake to fold river here.
