3 handed in a FR table.
Villain had a blind steal of 50 (11/22). Sticky villain, as far as I can remember.

$0.10 NL - Holdem - 3 players

BTN: 118 BB (VPIP: 48.98, PFR: 16.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 50)
Hero (SB): 100 BB
BB: 127.2 BB (VPIP: 47.37, PFR: 21.05, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 39)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♠ T♣

BTN raises to 3 BB, Hero raises to 12 BB, fold, BTN calls 9 BB
Questions and thoughts:

Spoiler

should I only call here and play a small pot OOP?
Which hand would I 3bet here and cbet on that flop?

Flop: (25 BB, 2 players) 4♥ T♥ K♦
Hero bets 11.9 BB, BTN calls 11.9 BB
Questions and thoughts:

Spoiler

If the table were full, I would only check/call here, but in a 3 handed table, middle pair + good kicker looked strong enough to cbet and I didn't want to give villain a free card.
Of course, if villain calls my cbet, the turn could be tricky.

Turn: (48.8 BB, 2 players) 7♣
Hero checks, BTN bets 94.1 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 76.1 BB and is all-in
Questions and thoughts:

Spoiler

bet/call shove? bet/fold? check/call small bet and reevalutate OTR?
I know how I would play that in a regular table, but those short handed tables are tough.

River: (201 BB, 2 players) 5♣

Spoiler

BTN shows A♥ 8♣ (High Card, Ace)
(Pre 56%, Flop 16%, Turn 7%)
Hero wins 191 BB

It's also good to know if he folds a lot on 3bets. Otherwise I wouldn't try to 3bet bluff and build a big pot out of position. Flop Cbet seems alright to protect your hand and for thin value, but the turn call seems tricky or you have sick reads on him. Otherwise I would just give up.
