This is a Zoom and I don't have stats on anyone.

Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $4.34 (217 bb)
MP: $2.03 (102 bb)
CO (Hero): $6.51 (326 bb)
BU: $3.49 (175 bb)
SB: $2.47 (124 bb)
BB: $1.00 (50 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is CO with Q♦ Q♣
UTG calls $0.02, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.08, 2 players fold, BB calls $0.06, UTG 3-bets to $0.14, Hero calls $0.06, 1 fold

Flop: ($0.37) 7♣ 5♥ A♣ (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($0.37) T♦ (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

River: ($0.37) 6♣ (2 players)
UTG bets $0.36, CO (Hero) folds

Total pot: $0.37 (Rake: $0.01)
UTG wins $0.36

What range would you give the cold caller here? the limp 3-bet is probably strong but I felt my hand was too strong to fold unless I knew he was doing this with exactly AA or KK which I don't. Are cold-calling ranges usually pairs like 99,TT,JJ?

against sizing you have a really easy call preflop. On the turn you should bet/stab the pot since you dont want to give out freecards or getting value from some worse hands. Ofcourse if you get action you have an easy fold. As played you could consider calling river against idk some KJ. Villians line doesent make much sense for him to have Ax. Your line seems weak too. So villian could turn his KJ into a bluff reasonable. I would stab bet turn for like 1/3 pot or maybe 40 % here. And im done with the hand if im getting more action.

The limp/min 3bet is really weird of villain. I would consider to 4bet QQ, but that's really villain depended. As played I would bet the turn for value and protection. Tough to think villian has a ace after checking twice. You basicly only lose against KK or slowplayed AA on the moment

I was thinking that aswell after reviewing, maybe we can bet turn since he checks twice
