Hero showed K K and lost (-$129.30 net)
CO showed Q Q and won $257.30 ($128 net)

CO 22/19/8.3 after 37 hands

Turn? Should I just push for value vs QQ(-JJ)? He cant have too many Ax, I block AK a lot (only 6 combos left), and AA is also just 3 combos.

River? It's the worst card I could get, now QQ beat me as well.

Turn: I don't like pushing. I think your range has way too many AX and villain is put in a really tough spot with QQ. I also think his Flop calling range contains a decent amount of Ace highs, like AK and maybe AQs (3-5 combos).

By pushing I feel like he's guaranteed to fold JJ and he should call QQ. But if you get called by only QQ and villain has another ~5 combos of AX, that seems pretty thin.

What you could do instead is to bet small (25-30$ on the Turn) and check-fold the River. I think this will widen his Turn calling range to include all QQ combos, and maybe 1-2 additional JJ combos. You can also do this with some air hands if you think you are generating too many folds here. Pretty good bluff odds if you ask me.
