CO is 12/16, 382 hands

SB is 23/19/af0.9/3B:10, 479 hands

AQo is a 90% 3bet, 10% flat, according to solver.

Here we flat because we don't wanna see the shorty 4bet/shove preflop.

I think we can call SB squeeze and defend in position somewhat disguised. And we make a raise on flop because we are not supposed to have AQ there on BTN, not really, turn is yuck, river is decent, but is it strong enough to shove?

PokerStars - $0.50 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BTN): 126.18 BB
SB: 302.52 BB
BB: 238.7 BB
UTG: 113.94 BB
MP: 112.46 BB
CO: 52.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

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

fold, fold, CO raises to 2.5 BB, Hero calls 2.5 BB, SB raises to 13.5 BB, fold, fold, Hero calls 11 BB

Flop: (30.5 BB, 2 players) Q♥ 6♣ 4♥
SB bets 9.86 BB, Hero raises to 26.9 BB, SB calls 17.04 BB

Turn: (84.3 BB, 2 players) K♥
SB checks, Hero checks

River: (84.3 BB, 2 players) Q♣
SB checks, Hero bets 85.78 BB and is all-in

Thoughts?

First thought is that river is either check back if you think SB can play suited hands pre-flop like this, but if you don't think he likely has the flush, then betting for value would be wise

Question: Why only flat v CO? Against a short stack, I would iso-raise to hopefully keep the blinds out of the hand.

I explained it in OP. 10% flat, I'm choosing this one because CO is short. Also, I think it's very possible that SB has the same hand as me but I'm repping 66 strongly.

3betting seems the standard play, but now you can see a flop in position after the squeeze of the SB.

Flop play a call in position seems fine as well. Raising for protection and thin value is fine. I would raise at least 30bb in total. This way you have less than a pot size bet left.

I think its ok shove. Its probably close to borderline given your line - I wouldnt shove there QJ/QT.
