Hero (BB): $2.00
UTG: $4.08
CO: $0.43
BTN: $2.15
SB: $1.91

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BB with Q:heart: K:diamond:
UTG calls $0.02, 2 folds, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.06) 5:spade: 5:heart: Q:diamond: (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.04, UTG calls $0.04, SB calls $0.04

Turn: ($0.18) 9:club: (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.10, UTG folds, SB calls $0.10

River: ($0.38) 3:diamond: (2 players)
SB bets $0.02, Hero calls $0.02







Villain is 71/14/1.3 over 7 hands.

We have TPGK on the flop. Would you cbet against two players? (The second villain in UTG is 86/0 over 7 hands).

Is calling the min bet on the river okay? Or do we want to take him to value town and re-raise?

You don't need to ship the river, but I think r/f against players that passive is higher EV than calling. There's lot of worse Q's they can call with and maybe some other hands they donked around with like A9 or small pairs.

I would raise river to $0.20 because he has a lot of worse queens or small pairs. I would also bet turn to something like $0.14.

if he had a 5 or AQ he would bet the river much bigger so i think you are losing some value by just calling here, i would also raise him to +-0.20

Definitely raise him on the river.

He might have small pairs and just calling would lose value.

This Donkbet is to obviously. He wants to take value of your cash. What you gonna do?
1. If he had a monster, this is a trap. BUT his move on turne was Call, so I think, he had only a pair QQ with little Kicker.
2. If he had a 5Q, he would obviously raise, or re-raise your bet. So - maybe he has an Ace or King with middle Kicker.
