$0.05/$0.1 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Known players:
[tg]SB$14.18:///////;BB$11.99:///////;MP2$7.24:///////;MP3$14.20:///////;CO (Hero)$12.29:///////;BU$4.45:///////;[/tg]

UTG (MP2) is the mark at the table for everyone -- playing 60/0/0 (VPIP/PFR/3B).
MP (MP3) is an aggro donkey playing 38/37/19 -- who is also the mark for me along with the Fish. I have been 3-betting him with anything reasonably decent due to his super-wide opening range. He has not played back yet.

Preflop: Hero is CO with A:c, Q:d.
MP2 calls $0.10, MP3 raises to $0.40, Hero raises to $1.10, 3 folds, MP2 calls $1.00, MP3 calls $0.70.

I think we can assume Fish has anything of 2-soots, any pair, any Ace plus broadways and connectors.
The Aggrodonk probably has a PP, a decent Ace or something from hands like KQ/QJ/JT. He may even be getting cute with AA/KK/AK (probably not). In short he has a big hand or does not know what to do with his mediocre-but-playable cards.

Flop: ($3.45) Q:s, 5:h, 3:d (3 players)
MP2 checks, MP3 checks, Hero bets $2.45, MP2 folds, MP3 calls $2.45.

The check-call could still be 77+ (inc. AA/KK) and dominated Qs, with some chance of AK also.

Turn: ($8.35) Q:h (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero bets $7.95, MP3 calls $7.95.

I figure he is in-for-a-penny here so I pot the board -- and to protect against a possible backdoor flush. I did not notice I was left with 0.79
Why does the POT button on stars bet 4bb less than pot? Seems to be a regular thang.

River: ($24.25) 9:d (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero bets $0.79, MP3 folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $24.25.

So the question is -- WTF did he have to fold a 240bb pot on the end for 8bb ??
I always call here -- not just for pot odds but to gain info about what my opp plays with. Its a tiny call in that pot. Bizzare!

Comments of any kind appreciated.

I'm guessing A10hh or AJhh

Good fold, you can still get away as you're not getting the right price.

Oh sure I can understand players BLUFFING with air -- but that involves a bet or a raise at some point ROFL -- or are we talking that hugely advanced play the bluff calldown ♠_o:

Seriously tho -- I was experimenting with playing a lot more aggressively in spots where I had decent equity -- so maybe he just wanted to get stubborn with my constant raising BS and force me to risk my whole stack? Trouble is -- he had Jack squat. Keep takin dem pills.
The pot is too big to fold on the Turn, but too small to call on the River? Gotta luvvit!
.

I'm guessing A10hh or AJhh

That seems sensible -- but he has to call with Ace high as there is prob a 3% chance I have a hand like 76hh or KJhh/JThh.

maybe a sick turn misclick? i've had it happen

stars automatically deducts rake in between streets. so $7.95 is the pot size after rake

maybe villain had 24 and just knew he was gonna catch that magic ace on the river.
