IPoker, $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

BB: $4.17 (83.4 bb) Complete unknown
UTG: $1.50 (30 bb)
MP: $5 (100 bb)
CO: $0.95 (19 bb)
BTN: $8.98 (179.6 bb)
Hero (SB): $5.58 (111.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q:d A:d
4 folds, Hero raises to $0.15, BB calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.30) Q:h 5:s 4:c (2 players)
Hero bets $0.15, BB calls $0.15

Turn: ($0.60) 6:s (2 players)
Hero bets $0.45, BB calls $0.45

River: ($1.50) K:c (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $3.25, Hero ???

I bet half-size on flop to NOT fold out weaker Qs, Ax small PP
He likes that, so I bet bigger on turn, believing I still have the best hand, and believing he will call again with worse.

I'm willing to check/check the river, but get a 2.5x pot bet.

I do NOT believe he has the goods.
If he REALLY wanted a call, he would bet something callable.
If thought I would call with my entire range, he would shove.
I could easily fold to a shove, but this ???

How to proceed?

Nothing I could think of seemed right.
Folding seemed too exploitable,
Raising seemed spewy.
Calling seemed slightly less spewy,.

Cheers,

Hello,

I would bet $0.2 on the flop.
Villain is probably never folding Ax/PP/Qx to one bet.

Turn is good.

As played, against a potentially fishy guy I think we can bet around $0.7 on the river for thin value against Qx.
Once we check, I am pretty much folding right away against this bet. Players at these limits aren't really going to exploit us and they can't when they don't have information about us, also I highly doubt he bluffs when he overbets like this.

Best,
Plamen

I'm sorry but that was so funny to read hahaha!

I actually prefer your half pot to the above recommended 0.2$ in _general_ if the guy still calls his Ax/KJ type hands no matter what size then 0.2$ is better.

Turn betting a bigger size is good, i think what you bet is fine. We no longer care about the Ax type hands, we are now targeting the stronger parts of his range.

River I think you have to bet fold 1/3-1/2 pot here, leaning more towards halfpot. Then fold if he raises. If you don't think you can get value, you are checking to check fold even if he bets only $1 here. (ofc if he bets 10cents or sth ridiculous u look him up)
