Villian seems capable over 64 hands playing 16/14 1.5agg
Preflop 3bet/5bet seems std.
Flop i want to bet this amount with my entire range.
Turn is where it get interesting I'm not sure how often players bluff here. Or how often they should. Don't think enough players float flop to c/r turn, or how often he turns a pair into a bluff.
But then again if I'm not even stacking off this hand i feel they should do it a lot.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.25/$0.5 No-Limit Hold'em (3 handed)

Known players:
[tg]SB$50.00:///////;BB (Hero)$62.03:///////;BU$50.75:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q:c, A:c.
BU folds, SB raises to $1.50, Hero raises to $4.50, SB calls $3.00.

Flop: ($9) A:h, 6:s, 8:d (2 players)

SB checks, Hero bets $7.50, SB raises to $42.00, Hero calls $34.50.

Hi 9toFive,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: Is there a particular reason as to why you underbet here with your entire range BvB?

As played I can't see how you can fold after two weak cbets. Your hand looks on the weaker side and he may try to throw you off a QQ/KK type hand or even raise AJ type hand for value.

Why not 1/2, 1/2 and ship river?

Thinking about it some more 1/2, 1/2 and shove seems better because we get value from worse Ax and put maximum pressure on the weak part of his range.

My reasoning for betting so small is that i either have the ace or I don't and a small bet forces him to make the same decision but it's cheaper. But playing so deep (coming from mtt's) our river sizing will be awkward by betting flop so small.
