I'm on the button with QQ and action folds to me.

I raise 3BB and get called by big blind.

Flop comes 10 2 3 rainbow.

He checks to me so I make a 3/4 pot raise. He reraises by twice the amount so I call.

Turn comes a 4. He checks to me again so I make another 3/4 pot raise in which he then goes all in - leaving me to call. He turns over an A5s and wins the pot. Luckily, I only lost half my stack.

Obviously I was suspicious of the A5 but looking at his stack I didn't think he was that experienced so I put him on a wide range. His checks and small reraises made me think he either had a weak pair or at best he paired his 10.

It appears you had the mind set that no matter what the villiian did or board texture on turn or river you were going to call. A better play on the flop would have been to come over the top all in on his check raise as you would put the pressure on villain.

I think you played well but he got straight and this is very difficult to realize in that special moment during the game with blood running fast on your vains.

you played it well in the preflop, I could have gone all in the flop or fold,
the villain could have had set and if you did it with top pairmas reason to put it all in on the flop to avoid another possible 10 or complete another game.
but also I think it was well played is easy to talk with the game already resolved

Small mistake.You should have gone all in on flop not called.When you call you technically give a free card at the same time.

Not results oriented but if you had played it this way you had fold equity on your opponent. If he was trying to check raise bluff you which it seems he was trying to do.

I think you played okay. I don't know if an all in after the re-raise would have forced a fold.

yeah not sure either - even if he had a 10 I have a feeling he would have called at these microstakes cash games.

This villain seems pretty sticky and fishy. Because of that, I’d recommend 3betting his check raise. And now you clearly know that he check raises gutshots!!!!
That should help you extract money from his betting/calling mistakes.

flat calling here would probably be the last thing I would do against this opponent.
To be clear, it’s a 3bet for value not protection. Against this opponent that flat called out of the sb, he’s unlikely to have QQ beat, and most likely either a 1 pair hands TT and under or a draw. For the random times he’s got you beat, oh well.
If this player was tighter, I would not be 3betting here. I’d probably call the flop if he check/raises flops a lot, and take it on the turn. With his exact hand(if you knew it at the time, which you didn’t) he had 4 outs unless he could be sure his ace would be good if he hit it. So 16%-ish of the time he’ll hit the gutshot by the river, which means you’ll stack this opponent 8.4 out of 10 tries(average). And if we add the ace we get 7 outs for 28%-ish. This means, I’m the worst case scenario of this exact hand, you’ll still win around 72% of the time. To be fair, this villain seems like a non thinking player and I’d be really sticky here with any piece of the board. Now, if I’ve played a ton of hands with this guy and I have a read, I may do something completely different just to extract the most money from this person

You played correctly, I think you lose the minimum in the hand, there are hands that we will not win and we have to know how to lose the least possible.

When he does not hit the hand, you'll get a nice pot.

I think that QQ KK and AA should alywas be participated on the flop and bet hard on the flop turn and river especially if there are no overcards
