I 3bet from SB with QQ vs MP (no info). Flop is a classic headache spot. I think I made a mistake on the flop because I was OOP with a lower pair and my range contained many Ax combos. So c-bet was not necessary. It was too expensive to bet on the turn but in fact, with my check, I capped my range (if I use this term correctly). The villain didn't seem strong either so I tried to steal the pot with river blocker bet. I had to fold on the villain's aggression.

dont steal w SDV. you could happily check it down instead.

when you decide to bluff, use blockers or the bottom of your range. Q♥ J♣ or 8♠7♠ would both be a way better bluff.

Yeah, and against limper your range doesnt matter, only your hand.

I expect villain is a fish and is a Cbet of the flop fine for thin value, but most of the time I would make it at least half pot.

Turn and river I would check it down. Tough to get value or a better hand to fold. Now you need to fold against the small raise.

Pre-flop sizing too large I would go 4x.Half pot OTF I believe if I was going to bet. River is a check imo.
