Hello,

preflop: not much info on villain so I guess the 3bet is questionable. Is QJo strong enough for a 3bet here?

flop: I would think AQ is in his range so I could be dominated here. But as I've got top pair and FD then I decide to bet/fold. Should I bet smaller here as I don't want a large pot really.

turn: not sure what to do here, my feeling is to bet small, but not really sure about bet sizing here, and fold to a raise as AQ wouldn't raise and would call a small bet. If he has a better flush then I will find out on the river I guess.

river: I don't see much point in betting here.

Thanks

Preflop just call. If you 3b QJo here, it would be as a bluff and you should fold vs a 4b.
You can make the flop cbet smaller - 1/2 pot.
I do not likethe rasonfor betting on turn. Answer to the question - what weaker hands are calling here?
River is a check.

Ok, thanks. So you don't think AQ would call here? Is the turn a check/fold or check/call? If x/c then what kind of size would we call? Thanks

Some will advise you to x/call but I think we should xf.

I would not 3bet this hand as it plays OK postflop(its strong enough to call), I would be 3bet bluffing hands like A5s/K5s.

I would be x/folding turn as it is a marginal spot to be x/calling. If we check villain will not usually turn his showdown value hands(like QK with no heart) into a bluff. -> x/f is fine.

By betting on the turn we don't really get calls from worse.

X/f turn.

I would not 3bet this hand. I would cbet a bit smaller because this is 3bet pot. I would x/c OTT.
As played river is x/f. I don't think many worse hands call our turn bet and if he decides to bet OTR I think he has Ah or Kh.
AQ without Ah will not call OTT.

Villain checked back and showed up with AQ without the Ah. I'm with the feeling that AQ would not call here generally, but it is micro stakes after all

Sometimes they will call but if they do they are quite fishy :) We shouldn't expect that villain calls AQ without Ah as a standard. Take a note and you can valuebet wider vs this villain in the future.

Well, his turn call is awful then and you can exploit that in the future. Take a note and print money... :)
