SB: $30.78 (123.1 bb)
BB: $43.73 (174.9 bb)
UTG: $48.92 (195.7 bb)
MP: $19.80 (79.2 bb)
Hero (CO): $27.02 (108.1 bb)
BTN: $27.02 (108.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A♣: 2♣:
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.62, 2 folds, BB raises to $1.96, Hero raises to $4.40, BB calls $2.44

Flop: ($8.90) 7♣: Q♦: 4♦: (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($8.90) 3♥: (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $2.90, BB calls $2.90

River: ($14.70) 5♠: (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4.70, BB raises to $28.14, Hero calls $15.02 and is all-in

Preflop: Standard open. BB plays 20/17 in 182 hands, 3bets 11,9 (16,7 vs Hero). No info on how he reacts to 4bets. I decided to 4bet bluff because he seems like a reg which 3bets alot (maybe even exploit Hero for folding too much to 3bets).

Flop: Hit BDFD, BDSD and one over, but Q hits his range alot imo, so decided to check back. Maybe I should cbet.

Turn: Hit a gutshot and he checks again, so I decided to bet. I messed the sizing a bit because was planing to set a river shove so I should bet a bit under 1/2.

River: 6x beats me, but I don't expect him to call a 4bet with 6x OOP (even not with 66), so I think I have the best hand. Given how he played the turn, I think he could have some A-highs and flushdraws, so decided to bet small to target those and maybe induce a bluff. When he shoved, I decided to call.

Well, it would be interesting if he showed QQ+ :)

He shouldn't have many 6x at all given this is a 4-bet pot. I think the river sizing is probably okay to get some value from Qx and other pairs. After he shoves, realistically, we're very high in our range and his shove doesn't make too much sense- I think that your play is fine.

Is the purpose of the turn bet to fold out hands that have you high carded?

I tend to bet those spots autimatically, facing a double check. I guess AK, AJ are folding right away or by the river for sure. JJ, TT, 99 and other pocket pairs are also folding by the river most likelly. So I would say this is moslty a bluff bet, but I also picked up some equity.

Then it looks alright. But there are spots when bluffing is profitable, but checking back is more profitable. Not here though, my thinking was offX( WP!
