$5 NL HE 6-max: Line check on the turn please

Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 15/13/4

Villain over 48 hands, attempt to steal of 31% with 5 attempts from the SB, no record of him folding to 3bets so i saw this as raising for value pf.

full tilt poker $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em - 5 players - View hand 412032

SB: $5.18
Hero (BB): $6.23
UTG: $10.88
CO: $6.54
BTN: $5.31

Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is BB with Q :club: A :spade:
3 folds, SB raises to $0.15, Hero raises to $0.45, SB calls $0.30

Flop: ($0.90) 7 :spade: 3 :heart: A :heart: (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.65, SB calls $0.65

Turn: ($2.20) 3 :diamond: (2 players)
SB checks, Hero requests TIME, Hero bets $1.50, SB calls $1.50

River: ($5.20) 4 :heart: (2 players)
SB bets $2, Hero??

When he bets the river he leaves like 58c behind and tbh i can't think of anything that would do this that we beat, my main issue i think is just my line on the turn, not too great at picking spots to barrel and i think i could have maybe checked this back to keep the pot a bit smaller, as in the end he bets less than half pot and it's a shitty spot to fold imo, if i had checked the turn back the river pot ends up at 2.20 and i can either get a cheap showdown if he leads out small or make an easy fold if he overbets/shoves, thoughts??

You have top pair in a 3-bet pot, we're not folding anywhere ever. River looks kinda like a blocking bet, and we're way too committed to fold.

You *could* check back the turn, especially since people don't auto 4-bet AK at the micro stakes. At 100NL, I much prefer to just double barrel. But down at 5NL, you might get more calls from 88-KK if you checked back the turn and then 2/3 the river especially with this tight villain.

I think how you played it is fine though. Usually 15/13's will 4-bet AK blind vs. blind, and thus AQ is essentially the nuts. Thus betting the turn with the intention of getting committed is just fine, especially since no one folds at 5NL and you will still likely get called down by any ace, and some pairs.

cheers man, i feel like quite a mong now though, everyone i've had feedback from says its an easy river call but at the time i actually folded, i just maybe over-estimated the strength of his range given his stats, kinda felt like i was value-towning myself against AK in the end, although thinking about it now AK would raise/lead out/do something aggressive a lot sooner than the river here, especially someone who waits hours for cards like AK, and like you said, he probably 4bets AK bvb.

I think my main leak is putting too much into a pot and then folding like i did here, seems like a lot of my money is being lost like this, all those 30-40bb's lost add up! i'm good at stealing and cbetting and when i do hit a good hand i can extract value but i seem to put too much of my stack in-in marginal spots and it may be quite easy to push me off of a hand, i've just moved back to 6max so this is something i'm going to have to work on b/c of the increased aggression and marginal hand spots.

The value of your hands change depending on the stack to pot ratio when you see the flop. In a limped pot, top pair hands are certainly a huge mistake to stack off with. In a 3-bet pot, its absolutely standard. If you're folding top pair type stuff often in a 3-bet pot, you *are* making a big error.

Looks good everywhere. For the record, I would have taken the free show down on the river card if villain offered it, but as is, I'm calling that every day of the week.

^Very important stuff^

I shove with a smile on my face. In 3bet pots flush draws are a rare site to behold. If anything that third card is a blessing. Your timebanking will be portrayed as weakness and this is gunna inspire him to spew to you.

You have to call this...there's no doubt you'll be beat a certain amount of times but if you want to fold top pair in a 3-bet pot then you probably shouldn't 3-bet in the first place. He could show up with a lot of weird things here, like KK or 77 or AJ...as this is BvB you have to have a healthy amount of distrust of odd bets.
