This is the sort of hand that trips me up and costs me money. Should I have played the preflop or flop any differently? What about the turn?

SB posts SB $0.01, Hero posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero has 6 Q

fold, fold, fold, CO calls $0.02, fold, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks

I'm the one betting, not the one calling. Did you mean keep betting?

Thanks. I wasn't sure if it would be cheaper in the long term to bet full pot on the flop/turn or just bet half pot or what. Pokerstove showed me a large favorite against two random hands, so I guess the idea is to treat it as good until shown otherwise by a reraise.

Induce Bluff

I would probably check the river then let him fire at it. Then its decision time (did I induce a bluff, or is he betting his ace?)

If I fired at the river he might fold alot of weaker hands but I avoid trouble if he does have his Ace. I would control the size of the pot and hopefully will be able to call what he bets on the river. If he has a weaker hand or missed making a hand he might feel embolden to bluff at it which I feel is the better route then value betting myself.

He calls with pretty much any pair higher than a 6 and with random K or even Q high on river so i like bet/ folding

I just wanted to add that there is no possible way you could have played the preflop any differently...
