GG Poker - $0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 100 BB
Hero (BB): 113.2 BB
UTG: 132.7 BB
MP: 190.5 BB
CO: 127 BB
BTN: 93.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

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

UTG raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, BTN calls 3 BB, fold, Hero raises to 13 BB, UTG calls 10 BB, fold

Flop: (29.5 BB, 2 players) 8♣ Q♦ 3♠
Hero bets 10 BB, UTG calls 10 BB

Turn: (49.5 BB, 2 players) 5♠
Hero checks, UTG bets 20 BB, Hero calls 20 BB

River: (89.5 BB, 2 players) 4♣
Hero bets 70.2 BB and is all-in

I was lost here on the turn. I like the check because his floats will start to bet and his Qx wants to bet. Do we x/call, jam river or do we want to x/r turn and get it in?

I like the flop sizing. I like the size to keep him in with JJ, TT, 99, as well as AQ/KQ (and hands that beat you)
After villain call OTF, his Cbet OTT doesn't add much. AQ/KQ would bet it nonetheless, but I'd preffer leading. Ch/Raise seems too show a lot your hand (imo).
As played, I'd jam turn, instead of a brick river.

You are likely against 88 or AQ/KQs if villain calls, imo (without info on villain, I'd a ssume QQ is a standard population 4bet). The frequency of each is greatly favouring you.

At these stakes, since you won't get called unless someone has something strong themselves, I prefer a larger flop sizing — 1/2 to 2/3 minimum, and 2/3 to 3/4 OTT
If they fold, they had nothing anyway. Lots worse will call, nothing better will fold

Dont see much of a floats here. But i see potentially lost value by checking OTT. Your bet OTR doesnt make sense to me. Bet bet bet on every street here.

Without info I would play the hand simple with betting on every street and get it in on the river. Villain could float, but I expect you lose value with checking. On the river I would check/call the river to give villain another chance to bluff.
