Pacific Poker - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 3 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 257.8 BB
Hero (BTN): 115 BB
SB: 101 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has Q♥ A♦

Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, BB raises to 12 BB, Hero calls 9 BB

Flop: (24.4 BB, 2 players) 9♥ 7♠ 5♦
BB bets 8 BB, Hero raises to 24 BB, BB calls 16 BB

Turn: (72.4 BB, 2 players) 7♣
BB checks, Hero checks

River: (72.4 BB, 2 players) Q♠
BB checks, Hero bets 23.8 BB, BB calls 23.8 BB

Villain is VP 36 PR 19 and 3Bet 4 over 160 hands.

PF I decide do call despite the small 3bet % because I'm in position. Maybe folding PF would be the most adequate here since I'm putting him on AQo+, AJs+ and TT+.

Flop I decide to bluff him because I believe he is going to fold anything that isn't a pair, which is about 50% of his range here.
He calls, ok.

Turn is a check. I don't believe I'm better here or that he might fold any better.

River I try to go for thin value.
Once he didn't bet turn or river, I give him TT, JJ and bet 1/3 pot.
Should I have checked here?

Thanks.

This is a 3 handed game and than villain should 3bet much wider you think.

I don't think it's makes to much sense to bluff the flop. There aren't to many weaker hands villain will fold.

As played I like the thin value bet. I don't think villain has to many better after the check on the river.

Cheers,

Yes…
I just realized that this bet could make him fold AK, but also AQ and AJ.
Not a good one.

He ended up having KK.

Terribly played hand. Preflop is a standard defend. But postflop...Fold on the flop most of the time. You block some of his unpaired combos. Except AK you are ahead against them. So no point to raise. If your choice is to invest money the float is much preferable option than raise.

As played postturn is okay. I am assuming that he will fold AK, KQ on the flop so he has mostly overpairs in his range. Your FE is pretty much down to 0. So you should give up. OTR bet seems fine. Slightly bigger size 50-55%. You could find a call here out of TT-JJ

With V being so 3bet tight, I would float the flop and then fold on the turn if I don't improve.
You have to barrel the turn for that flop raise to make sense, why would you check now after raising? Did you raise a set and now slow playing a f/h or quads? River bet is fine, TT and JJ can still call that. I'm going to guess V showed up with KK or AA?
