I should have 3bet preflop,

you are playing AQ what better flop could u have u hit trips and u manage to fold on the river ofcourse i will call no reason to reraise ust a call. if this guy is checking the turn behind with a better hand than mine i will gives him those chips and mark him as a fish for not getting 3streets of value there.
its a dry board he knows that u called the flop so u must have something at least a Jacks the 7 dosent change anything ok there is a back door flush but dosent really matter, the check behind means he cant beat a J, and the bet on the river is to make u fold a jack.

Here is my input.

Call is fine preflop.

Now OTF, you just C/C... I think I would have maybe C/R the flop, maybe. Call is OK too.

However, on the turn you should have bet out for at least 3/4 pot. What villain does here will help us define villain's range further.

Now, on the river, I think villain may have back-doored a flush. Either that, or he read you for weak, and he is just trying to bluff you with a PP or a missed draw. He may have a K-Qs or K-J maybe....

I would have played the hand differently.

What are your stats on MP?

You should lead the turn 100% of the time because it's going to be checked behind far too often, and unless you have some read that your opponent can double or triple in a spot like this (which most people can't), then you're just giving free cards.

Your river bet sizing is asking to be bluffed. If we knew something, at least stats on your opponent, I could say if that was even a reasonable bet size. However as played, you've been checking for a reason. You think your opponent can bluff with worse, so why not check/call the river?

The villain can't have many draws here given Ac is on the board. Maybe KcQc or KcJc. The latter wouldn't miss the bet on the turn... AJ, JJ, 77 would have bet the turn, as possibly AK... AJ, JJ, if wanted to slowplay, would rather check the flop to induce bluff. It's unreasonable for these hands to miss value by not betting the turn. The actual line could only have been be taken by KcQc ( c-bet flop and check back on the turn in an attempt to actualize equity on the river by having a free card) and 55 (c-bet and give up on turn picking up equity on river) and bluff hands. There are not very many conbinations that beat you ( 1 KcQc, 1 KcJc, 3-JJ, 3 - 77, 3-55, 4-AK, 3-AJ (18 in total)), and even fewer combos that could have taken this line (4), while there are many hand which MP could have opened and turned into a bluff on this high dry board . Looks more like a bluff for me. I would have called the river

As you played... pre flop seems good, call is even ok. Flop is very good for us, it is rainbow, we can check and wait what aggressor will do. He bets so it is easy call. Turn- I think that we still have the best hand, but appear a FD, so I don't like here check, you can give him a free card. I bet the turn, because I want to have an initiative. River is a little dangerous, but it doesn't mean that we will lose, here I bet. If he raise me on the river, I risk and make a call.
