Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 157.5 BB (VPIP: 46.38, PFR: 9.90, 3Bet Preflop: 0.85, Hands: 317)
UTG: 123.5 BB (VPIP: 35.00, PFR: 5.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 20)
MP: 31.5 BB (VPIP: 19.58, PFR: 14.48, 3Bet Preflop: 1.41, Hands: 955)
Hero (CO): 105.5 BB
BTN: 28.5 BB (VPIP: 26.44, PFR: 17.24, 3Bet Preflop: 14.81, Hands: 87)
SB: 102.5 BB (VPIP: 24.20, PFR: 21.70, 3Bet Preflop: 11.62, Hands: 2,222)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

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

fold, fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, SB raises to 10 BB, fold, Hero calls 7 BB

Flop: (21 BB, 2 players) 6♣ 2♠ 5♣
SB checks, Hero bets 10 BB, SB calls 10 BB

Turn: (41 BB, 2 players) 4♦
SB checks, Hero checks

River: (41 BB, 2 players) Q♦
SB bets 20 BB, Hero calls 20 BB

Villain 3betting my BTN OR wildly therefore called IP with AQs. Relevant stats:
3bet vs BTN 13%
3bet at SB 15%
Note 3bet blind vs steals 88+, A9o+, A7s+
No Fold to 4bet stat read available.

I think raising river only would have make villain push/call with better hands, so I called.

You can skip the flop bet but it is ok as played.
Give his postflop stats as you have a nice sample.

Hello! I think I would play pretty much the same way as you did. As you can see, he cbets alot in 3bet pots. But he didn't here. So I think it's a good place to try to steal the pot away from him. On the turn I think I would continue betting because what hands is he really calling on the flop that he isn't cbetting on the flop? I am thinking overcards like AK-AJ and KQ are cards that he feels he can't fold yet. If you place more pressure vs hands like this I think he will fold as he seems like a reasonable fella. But as played; it's a good standard line.

Villain 3betting my BTN OR wildly therefore cold called OOP with AQs.

This stood out for me and I have to comment; you are IP not OOP. And is it called cold call when you call a 3bet when you have opened the pot?

Well he is not going to fold 99-AA, 11% is a lot of hair but flop despite being wet doesn't hit So hard villains range. I call 3bets with 99-JJ (sometimes 4bet JJ).

His 3bet range is very wide. Betting flop allowed me to reduce his range to AK, AQ, AJ, AT, KQ, 77-TT. And I have BDFD, two overcards 11% 77+,ATs+,KJs+,98s,87s,76s,65s,ATo+,KQo. Of course if I get raised is over. I checked behind the turn because the card changed nothing and allow me not to fire another barrel. The Q came and just value bet.

Betting flop is fine. Betting turn too would be even better. Now his range is slim. It is mostly AK and AQ (and perhaps other stuff like that), the odd A♥:4♥: (or whatever), but hardly ever an overpair. He'll simply have to fold a lot to a turn bullet.
