$25 NLHE 6-max: Extracting max value

Villain is an 18/14 with 100% fold to 3bet (2/2) and 71% cbet over 100ish hands. He's pretty much unknown to me but seems regish based on his stats.

i'm thinking of ways I can extract max value from this hand. I like my turn check raise because when he doesn't cbet he basically never has anything so on the turn the Q is a good card for him to rep if he feels like it, and if he has hit the Q I doubt he's folding to a check/raise that often. When he calls the turn check raise i'm thinking he basically always has AQ/KQ/QJ/QT. So when the second Q hits the river should I just vbet, or i'm thinking we could potentially get his full stack if I CRAI. The only downside to that would be that he may vbet less than I would have and may be able to find a fold to my jam. So thoughts on best line here?

Oh there's an argument for 3betting pre aswell but i prefer flatting unless we know they are going to be calling with dominated hands

Hero?

flatting pre is fine but I'd prefer leading flop. Hoping to get in 2 CRs in a hand is a bit optimistic and FPS. Bet $8.50.

As played I think you should bet like 7-8$ on river because I can totally see these nits checking QJ and KQ behind here so I don't think check raising river is a good idea.

On the flop I would have check raise such a strong hand 3ways especially, don't know if that's what you wanted to do, but since he checked I would have donked the turn myself.

I like this. Can prolly make your turn raise a hair bigger.

Villain's range drawing to spades, a gutshot, or he has a Q or smaller pair. Since he's OTB, he prolly has plenty of suited/connected cards in his range. Plus if he has a pair, he may vbet it given the queen paired. I think I like the CRAI on the river.

lol at anyone checking back trips OTR vs hero's line

bet river, $8 seems like a good start

I probably just lead turn.. x/r doesn't get called by much apart from Qx and draws + you don't knw if he'll even bet turn.

sup baudib about leading flop?

I also like the check raise on the turn, I'd never check the river because you're losing a ton of value from hands that will call that you beat. I'm betting about $7 OTR.

Does anyone think we should 3bet preflop?

what do u most targeting here on the river?
I like your reraise on the turn....very


so, by ur reraise on the turn, he just flat your reraise....

if i am here, I would at least 2/3 pot size value for targeting a Q with a weaker kicker.... for him to pay u with weaker hand... 100% agree with ur thoughts and ...

one more thing, I would value and ready to call reraise but fold to all in....on the river!

Nope. AQs flops quite well, so we can continue on a huge chunk of them. Plus we don't really know how villain reacts to 3-bets yet, so I'd just assume he folds all the QT type hands we need to keep in.

I also don't like donking this board because villains range whifs it. So he'll prolly just fold a ton. We need to extract at least a cbet from him.
