My question is, how you would play this hand ideally...

I'm going for a cbet here, because I don't mind taking this pot down immediately.
On the turn, I second barrel for the same reason, although I don't know why I made the sizing that big. half a pot would have been fine. I think checking might also be an option, but I think I'm probably going to call a bet, so I prefer raising myself.

What are your considerations here?

Think the hand is played well, the turn bet is fine as you want to build the pot if you hit any of your cards spade,A or Q.

The only thing I do different being IP is I would triple barrel. Reason for this is that UTG has check called all streets, so I think maybe he could have 10’s, but I would play it as I had over pair..

It's to bad we don't know anything about the villain in this hand. You could also just call pre-flop in position. AQs can flop well. if I would 3bet a 3x sizing seems big enough. If I'm planning for a 3 barrel a $1 Cbet on turn is big enough to get it in on the river. Now it's really tough to bluff the river with in mind villain has only $2,59 left and than it's less likely a bluff will work.

SDK,
I get what you are saying about sizing, let’s think what can he be calling preflop with. I agree stat would help.

Maybe preflop he is calling A9suited or A8suited maybe? He calls 77’s-10’s. Weak player oop won’t 4 bet AK sometimes. So in theory what can he get to river with? IMO you have A9 suited (4) you have 7’s-10’s (24) that about 26 combos. Once again stats help, he he has a high fcbet flop and turn you are in trouble.... but let me run through how I think with no stats

And now he checks the river to you- so he checked every street possible, as well as now a OESD hits on the river, which I would guess villain isn’t think about what you are 3 betting with. I would be lead to believe he is thinking you have AK kk or aa. And he may not even be thinking about that.

Just my opinion and how i look at it.

The question that I think about is what is he call3 bet pre And then checking with 2 streets then to Check the river?
