If he is a reg he has only 3 combo to fd Kj KT JTs.
It was a 3way pot and you cbet, I understand your fold: AJ doesn't barrel 2 street (and it was blocker) aq had full flush draw improved river.

At micros where villain bluffing few is ok overfolding

Do you always cbet this small? I would Cbet larger to get value and protect your hand. I think you induce villain to bluff by playing the hand this weak. He could be thinking he is betting with the best hand here if he has a Q in his hand, and certainly when he has the A so in his mind he is not bluffing but trying to get value.

I agree that the CBet should be larger.
Also, I think it important to lead out on the turn to get value from weaker Aces and to charge any flush draws a very high price.

You will lose sometimes to better Aces, full houses etc, but I think in the long run you make $ by playing hands like this aggressively.

I'm curious to read what the real experts think though...

I don't mind the cbet sizing although I think the cbet could be a bit larger here maybe 1/2p then shove the turn and just play 2 streets.Only reason i can think for checking the turn is to induce some bluffs and we check shove or check call vs a shove.
