BTN: 48.5 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 4)
SB: 65 BB (VPIP: 21.74, PFR: 10.87, 3Bet Preflop: 5.88, Hands: 47)

UTG: 147.5 BB (VPIP: 8.57, PFR: 2.86, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 36)
Hero (MP): 100 BB
CO: 65 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 2)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

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

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, BTN calls 3 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (7.5 BB, 2 players) 9♥ Q♠ J♥
Hero bets 5 BB, BTN calls 5 BB

Turn: (17.5 BB, 2 players) 6♥
Hero bets 11 BB, BTN calls 11 BB

River: (39.5 BB, 2 players) 5♠
Hero checks, BTN bets 13 BB, Hero calls 13 BB

I think I played fine until the river.
On the river, I think bet/fold would be better, since now villain will check behind the hands he loses with and bet the hands he is ahead. Given the small sizing though I decided to call since some hands missed drawsand might want to bluff (AT, TT, Ahx).
Thoughts? Thanks

I would consider x otf already as this board is bad for our hand (loads of bad turns). But betting cant be that bad either esp at nl2. However ott i believe in checking, board keeps gettin bad and we should pot control and turn intro "passive" mode. Otr b would be overplay imo. As played, he still can valuebet worse (kq), so i couldnt fold when id be getting such good odds.

I think it is well played until the river. I agree with you, on the river a bet-fold sounds good with a pot 30-35% sizing.

I don't agree at all, you have no hands on BU but you seem to be taking him for the stupidest calling station ever xD

I'd check flop, this texture is a pain to play OOP you'll need to check a lot and protect your checking range, especially with queen of heart combos.

As played I'd check turn, you are value cutting yourself hard here, maybe hoping to river a non nutted flush (which wouldn't get you out of trouble) ?

I like the flop bet. Plenty of weaker hands will call.

Turn is tricky. You block some flush combos so his flush hands are quite reduced. He still has plenty of Tx, pair + draw type of hands. I would cbet the turn as well for value and in fact would again bet the river. In fact, in this scenario i prefer to have AQx instead of KK/AA because i am blocking villian's two pair hands this way.

I expect calls from every Qx and sometimes villian will put you on a missed draw and will check you down with Jx

I think this flop it's a good spot to check-call. It's really connected, so it's likely he has catched a piece of it.
Let's see the options:
- If he checks behind, you control the pot and if the turn comes innocuous you can lead;
- If he 3bets you're in tough spot with TPTK.

Cbetting is a good option as well once you were the PF agressor and you protect your hand. But it's very likely you'll get called by a player IP with that board.
I think in this spot you have to balance your range with this two options (check-call / cbet).

Most of the times I think check-calling and then leading the turn if it comes good it's the best option. You demonstrate a lot of strength and it's a move that puts you out of trouble if he 3bets you OTF.

In this case, the turn comes a 3rd heart, giving you the 3rd nutflushdraw. I'm checking here.
He called your cbet and has position, value just got thinner. If he bets it's tough, but the 3rd heart might scare him as well, inducing him to check-behind.

The river is innocuous imo. The way you played I think throwing the 3rd barrel is the best option.
- If you check and he bets, you have a fold;
- If you bet and he raises it's a fold as well imo;

Note: this is a very tough hand to play OOP...
