Villain: 49/20

I don't like to cbet. I do not have much (backdoor) equity.
How to respond to villain's probe bet on the turn?
It is tough to call. Against AJ+ I chop which would justify a call. But villain could have FD or flush now, too. Not sure what that does to my equity.

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

MP: 68 BB
Hero (CO): 115 BB
BTN: 215.5 BB
SB: 55.5 BB
BB: 100 BB
UTG: 158.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

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

UTG raises to 3.5 BB, fold, Hero raises to 14 BB, fold, fold, fold, UTG calls 10.5 BB

Flop: (29.5 BB, 2 players) 6♠ 2♣ 8♣
UTG checks, Hero checks

Turn: (29.5 BB, 2 players) A♣
UTG bets 28.5 BB, Hero ???

For me, these hands are pretty hard to play to!

I think if you are going to cbet on the flop it should be at least pot size to fold any flush draws. I could be wrong here.

With the potsize bet on the turn, I would fold too, I do not think villain has many straight draws here. But do have a lot of flushes, Ax, 66, 88. Because you will 3bet loose from the Cut-off. I hope this is a bit of good advice? Maybe another forum member can correct me in here?
Certainly, on the river, it is going to be really tough to hit better with no flush draws for you.

I hope that I don't give you wrong feedback here, trying to decompose the play and learn from other player's hands.

I would consider to just flat pre-flop and go from there against most likely a unpredictable player and you are playing pretty deep as well. As played I would play the hand the same and making a crying fold on turn on the almost pot size bet. I expect villain has it most of the time and if you call you can expect a shove on the river.

preflop: slamdunk 3bet: your hand is good vs his range and you can isolate him from others.

Anyway as played, slamdunk call on Turn and call all blank rivers. not even close. bad players bluff in these spots all the time - i don't care if he is pot betting or not.
