Squeezed pre and would probs GII.

Dont know is I should x/c, x/f or b/f here. Probably not ever going to x/fold though.

like i think if i cbet he doesnt have that many worse hands except like QJ maybe JT so I dont really think it can be a v-bet. I just think I make things really difficult for myself if I dont cbet and x/c OOP in a larger than normal pot. Should I just x/c flop then x/f turn if we dont improve?

u must cbet 5$ try to represent ak, if he push so u fold if he calls u can get him to fold Kj or K10 by pushing on the turn.
remember he just called the utg raise preflop and called your 3bet i really put him on pockets.

I bet/call $4.70 then check/call the turn maybe shove depending on what falls.
I don't mind check/calling but villain fishyness should get us loads of gutshot floats and alot more clubs in his range. That and Qx will likely stack.

When we've a stack to pot ratio of 2 vs what's likely a huge fish on a drawy board we're never folding.

His range isn't going to include a K very often. You have a Q, so you're reducing the combos of KQ. He's probably 3-betting AK, and not super likely he has KJ, etc... He's a fish, so there's some possibility. His calling range is a lot wider than you're thinking. It's going to be a lot of mid pairs, gutshots like AJ, and flush draws.

If he was an aggressive donkey, then I might c/c the flop, but if you don't have that info then bet.

Expect b/f is going to be your best option here. Seems fishy and KJ/K10 is probably solidly within his range. Don't expect him to be raising many draws here as that flop hits your range hard.

IMO if you bet and he calls or 3-bets the hand is over unless you catch something on the turn like an A or a club.

Yup I'm always c betting this spot. How many combinations of kings would he call you with pre? I suppose he could have KQ, but its less likely since ur AQ is a blocker to that. I suppose he could have JK but that's not all that likely either. My read Is a mid pocket pair. 6's/7's IMO, u should be b/f'ing flop. Because a re raise from him would be telling a pretty strong story. Either that or he's going to continue his bluff on the turn. But I think he will either call, or fold. Also, if he calls, I probably just quit the hand and check fold, unless the turn happens to bring a card that improves my hand to two pair or a set, or something like that.

You should c-bet the flop. However the chances are good to be Ace on the turn or the river and make two pairs or maybe set of Queens.
