The villain is 39/24/ATS:63/3B:14, 117 hands

Why the big 3bet? Why not? Just look at him.

Set, Qx, or did he make a straight on me?

GG Poker - $0.25 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BTN): 125.84 BB
SB: 83.28 BB
BB: 120.6 BB
UTG: 203.04 BB
MP: 100 BB
CO: 161.56 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has J♣ J♠

fold, fold, CO raises to 3 BB, Hero raises to 13.52 BB, fold, fold, CO calls 10.52 BB

Flop: (28.44 BB, 2 players) Q♠ 7♣ 3♦
CO checks, Hero bets 9.96 BB, CO calls 9.96 BB

Turn: (48.36 BB, 2 players) 8♥
CO checks, Hero checks

River: (48.36 BB, 2 players) Q♣
CO bets 36.28 BB, Hero calls 36.28 BB

But he looks suspicious no?

Thoughts?

Normally I would 3bet around 3x in position, but if you think villain will defend a lot on 3bets I wouldn't mind the sizing.

As played I would call the river with the bluff catcher against a aggressive villain. With the 2nd queen on the board it's less likely villian has 1.

I agree. I think this one is an easy call. It's not hard to imagine that he has a fake straight here.

check back flop. Wouldn't raise that big pre even vs these stats. Wouldn't skew the SPR with a sub-premium hand. May as well outplay him postflop.

As played pretty shit spot. our hand is semi underrepped and villain looks sus. I personally would just fold here as it's high variance and we have no info on tendencies, and this bet is big.
This is why i prefer checking the flop as it puts you in a tough spot by the river. Turn he may lead for 1/2-2/3 which is an easy call and you get more of an honest river bet from villian.
