Poker Stars, $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

BTN: $49.33 (98.7 bb)
SB: $54.59 (109.2 bb)
BB: $51.50 (103 bb)
UTG: $66.50 (133 bb)
MP: $57.29 (114.6 bb)
Hero (CO): $52 (104 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A 3
UTG raises to $1.50, MP folds, Hero raises to $4.50, 3 folds, UTG calls $3

Flop: ($9.75) T K K (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($9.75) A (2 players)
UTG bets $5, Hero ??

We are playing vs regular. Sample is irrelevant.
I was planning to give up on the hand since our equity is super terrible. We could argue for betting to fold out his PP`s but giving up shouldnt be a huge mistake? I assumed that it wont be enough with one bet since board is paired.

Once we hit our TPNK how would you plan your hand? What range can we put villain on?

As played:

River: ($19.75) 4 (2 players)
UTG bets $7, Hero calls $7

Villain used interesting betsizing on river. Thoughts about it?

A bet is probably +ev. If u count his comvos and assume he folds 99 and worse, he should fold more than 33% of his range.

Is it the best play though? Probably not. I prefer delayed cbetting here.

Ill probably call turn. He may be turning a hand like 66 into a bluff sometimes. Occasionally he might jave some SCs but given starting positions he should have very few of those.

I think he could be valuebetting AQ AJs like that. Seems most likely. When u check flop you often have qq or jj
