PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: $3.62
CO: $6.63
Hero (BTN): $6.33
SB: $5.02

SB posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has A♦ 3♦

CO raises to $0.15, Hero calls $0.15, fold, fold

Flop: ($0.37, 2 players) Q♣ A♥ J♠
CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($0.37, 2 players) 6♦
CO bets $0.16, Hero calls $0.16

River: ($0.69, 2 players) 7♠
CO bets $0.22, Hero ?

Villain is tag-fish. So this hand shouldn't be in our calling range preflop. We should fold or 3-bet is more the type of hand for it. But unfortunately we make a pre-flop mistake here. There are also no other clearfish behind so we can't justify it by that fact alone. The over half stacked guy has reasonable stats.

On the flop clear check back. On turn clear call. River? Anythoughts? Is he capable enough to valuebet KK, Qx here or doesnt he and we have a clear fold. And for that price it seems like a weak ace or KK, Qx type of hand. So am I all in all good enoug 0.22/(1.13) => 18% of the time.?

We can 3bet preflop, indeed. As played, I think we can bet the flop and turn 1/3 for protection, and check back the river. As played, I think we can call turn and river for the price. He will show worse hands often enough imo, like KQ, JT, KJ, TT-88.

I'm pretty sure if you calculated it by equilab the result would be positive

I agree with betting small flop and turn. As played I would call with this price.

Agree with 3bet or fold pre and bet small on flop and turn. As played, I'd call here for the potodds

Not thought about betting like 33% on the pot on flop and turn. What makes this move so superior over other moves?

It is fine as played. You can also 3-bet pre if you like that. You can also bet small on flop and possibly turn. The line you took is the most difficult one, but possibly the one with best EV if you play your cards well and read opponents well.

The river is a near snap-call (why?).

Cause I snap-call too much stuff at river though. So I am questionable these things a little. And I am not that great at reading opponents that well....

No need to read opponents when the pot odds are huge. Just call (and expect to lose , but not every time). That is what I mean by the "why?" above.
