SB: $4.95 (99 bb)
BB: $5.07 (101.4 bb)
MP: $6.99 (139.8 bb) 21/17 H:25
CO: $8.37 (167.4 bb)
Hero (BTN): $9.30 (186 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with 3♠: A♠:
MP raises to $0.15, CO folds, Hero calls $0.15, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.37) 2♥: Q♣: T♦: (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $0.23, MP calls $0.23

Turn: ($0.83) 5♣: (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $0.53, MP calls $0.53

River: ($1.89) 6♦: (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $1.25, MP calls $1.25

So in my opinion he is representing some kind of T and i want him to fold that, thats why i decide to 3 barrel.
Is this a good idea without equity or should i choose a spot when i have some clear draws?

I dont like it. Preflop: 3bet or fold. OTF check behind seems the best option to me. OTT you pick up gutshot and if villian checks again bet seems ok. OTR i would've give up if our draw dont complete. We still have some showdown value against hands like KJ, K9, J9,98,J8. As you played after 2 check/calls you have to assume that villian has something. Your bets seems weak. Bigger size of the bets. You want show some strenght. Board seems fairly safe to call even with hands like JJ, KT, AT. Qx is never folding vs these bets.

Also don't like it... I'd also 3bet fold pre. Turn and river are blanks, if he calls once or twice, why should he fold that river?! I'd just give up and don't even turn that into a bluff at any time

Yes, preflop 3bet or fold. I think you played this hand too agressively, I do not think we can make him fold a T here. The river does not change anything, so I do not believe he would fold here if he called 2 streets already.

The question is - what do you represent? It is dry board, the only hand you are representing is KJ and sets. Your villain called 2 barrels with yours 0% equity. I guess that is the worst play. Bcs after calling you twice your villain would definitely would call river. All draws are missed, so you are representing really narrow range. Also note - you are wide preflop - effective stacks 140BB, so after calling turn your villain would most probably call river with KQ+, KK+.

With checking OTF u can bet turn and river much easier, because u have 34 in ur range too.

As played, and this been said, ur repping only 22 and maybe TT. I dont think he's ever folding a Q. OTR i'd like to check behind. It's a blank based on ur line.

NL5-NL10 population folds around 60-65% when they check flop like this, and when they check-call they hardly have Qx because they bet everything OTF, so playing high exploitative betting everything vs missed cbet isn't bad if population overfolds, and have a capped range.

Already been stated but if you have any type of showdown value it's better to check back rather then bluff. And in this case you do, alot of busted shit here

Playerpool is overfolding when they miss a cbet, so I would stab here too. And yes I agree that it's better to check when you have some showdown value.

Stab smaller flop flop. You have no back door FD, a super weak BD straight draw and a weak ace high.

He has a bunch of Qx and 10x in his range. He checks these here to get you to bet, where you would have otherwise folded to a c bet. That being said, you are betting here to fold out his air. This can be accomplished by a much smaller flop bet.

Check turn.
