partypoker - $0.04 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BTN): 152.75 BB
SB: 283 BB (VPIP: 20.34, PFR: 14.46, 3Bet Preflop: 5.64, Hands: 1,555)
BB: 126.5 BB (VPIP: 20.48, PFR: 16.87, 3Bet Preflop: 4.00, Hands: 86)
UTG: 134 BB (VPIP: 14.87, PFR: 13.38, 3Bet Preflop: 4.95, Hands: 277)
MP: 127.25 BB (VPIP: 25.31, PFR: 17.28, 3Bet Preflop: 8.93, Hands: 162)
CO: 182.75 BB (VPIP: 30.07, PFR: 24.84, 3Bet Preflop: 9.09, Hands: 156)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♠ Q♦

fold, MP raises to 3 BB, fold, Hero calls 3 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (7.5 BB, 2 players) J♠ 4♠ 5♥
MP bets 5.25 BB, Hero calls 5.25 BB

Turn: (18 BB, 2 players) 7♠
MP checks, Hero bets 10 BB, MP calls 10 BB

River: (38 BB, 2 players) Q♥
MP checks, Hero bets 10 BB, MP calls 10 BB

Pre Flop: AQo from BU I normally call. I think I can get more value calling rather than 3beting.

Flop: I expect him to c-bet whole his range and with 2 over cards and backdoor FD I call.

Turn: 7s is not the best card but gives me FD and after his check that indicates he is probably not having flush I plan to bluff barrel Turn and probably also River. I think he is holding a pair or Jx hand.

River: I like the river card especially after his check. Made flush will probably not check on this limit and so I'm confident having TPTK most of the time.
What sizing can I choose to retrieve max value and not to scare him that I have nuts?

Villain doesn't have many weaker hands that could call OTR. He might opt for a x/c with his sets, pairs and 2 pair hands because there is a possible flush. I think you can bet around 15bb and fold to a raise.

About the river bet, close to half pot seems good to me.

I would check back the Turn, because J x isn´t folding there, and probably doesn´t fold the river and you have a good showdownhand. On the river i would bet half pot.

I like half pot too. 2/3 villain may fold.

It's ok played. True that river bet could be a bit bigger, but it's fine on that board since he might be scared to call some weak pairs because of possible flushes. Preflop we should mix some 3bet with flats and if the villain is not 4betting alot (and most of them are not), I like 3betting more. It will be more profitable in the long run than flatting. If he 4bets, we should turn our hand into a bluff and fold.

Fear of being check-raised isn't a good enough reason not to bet. The turn bet sets up a river bluff with the nut blocker.

I think if villain raises here it will be with strong hands. And a raise on river doesnot make sense...

The reason behind is I think it ll suck a lot when we get raised on turn w a nice hand like that (we ll have no choice than folding... and would possibly have a free card to the nuts on river).

That's true, but we also have no pair and a bet will get a decent amount of pairs to fold, which is good.

I certainly don't hate checking, but when there is merit to a passive and aggressive action then the latter is probably the one you should take.

I see ur point.
U can actually make better hands fold... and still have good outs. Thats awesome.

But if u have the stat that the guy likes to c/r. The passive line goes up in value here.
