Villian seemed to be an ok player but called to mush OOP and coming from an FL background. I won a pot where he 3bet a hand cbet/called and he valubet a str8 on river on a monotone board. No special read other then the gameflow where i donked on the flop 50% of hands.

With the dynamic of me donking flop light i could go for a check raise on turn but i did choose to barrel i would not like to miss value when he checks back turn with SD value or having some kind of draw. When he raises i think he is capable of bluff raising a float with some kind of EQ and ofc semi bluffing. The only thing that made me wonder was that his sizing where so big on turn.

The easy play is ofc to JAM for value but i decided to call to let him barrel all bluffs on River.

On the River i changed my mind since i though he might be AJ heavy and i will loose to a better hand c/c anyway i migth just JAM to push out a split and maybe 66 or 44.

and a hand like A6 and A4 would probably check behind anyway.

I think I play it the same but I have a small problem with how you balance your range here.

If you want to let him barrel then shoving this river is bad since he could be raising some big draws on the turn that just bricked. He can't bluff if we shove all-in into him.

However we also want to minimise the mistakes we make with the hand because we are out of position, so I think when offered a turn shove, we have to take it. He will be priced into calling with all his drawing hands so we're not scared about heart draws folding or KQTx/5678 etc.
I think you have 0% chance of making 66 or 44 folding on that river so I prefer a "come on" bet here on the river, a small bet of say $200 which will cause opponents to spew shove on us since it looks like a blocking bet, obviously we're snap calling any raise) .

Of course we are never folding this at any point heads up, it is too strong a hand, I just think you should focus on making no mistakes with the hand being out of position which means 3 betting the turn.

i'm not a fan of leading light and definitely not with this hand on this board.
as played jamming the river after calling turn would make me think wtf if i was villain. the only hand that makes sense seems to be KQT*.
so if villain puts u on a draw ott he might look u up on the river with worse. but it's pretty hard for u to be on a draw unless it was J6*h*h or J657.
the Q could have improved you (be it KQT*, QQJ6 etc.) so i don't think at the end of the day u get looked up by worse often enough. he also just might have u crushed.
imo u get a lot of folds on the river from hands that might bluff and if u're called u're fked most of the time.
if u choose to call turn for whatever reason i'd either c/c river or bet small to induce, probably the former.

I think this hand is generally better to check-call on flop and donk a more polarized range so you get an easier decision if you got raised on the flop, if not the opponent is so overaggressive that you can easily push flop or cr any turn after he raises the flop

Turn is very player dependent and all alternatives except from cf can be ok. More info about the opponent is needed.

Check-call river is way better than pushing for many reasons already mentioned.
