    Default [10NL] AQo against unknown

    Villain is unknown.

    PokerStars - $0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    SB: $16.75
    BB: $16.20
    Hero (UTG): $10.00
    MP: $17.56
    CO: $9.68
    BTN: $22.70

    SB posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has Q A

    Hero raises to $0.35, fold, fold, BTN calls $0.35, fold, fold

    Flop: ($0.85, 2 players) A 5 5
    Hero bets $0.60, BTN raises to $1.60, Hero calls $1.00

    Turn: ($4.05, 2 players) J
    Hero checks, BTN bets $2.60, Hero calls $2.60

    River: ($9.25, 2 players) 8
    Hero checks, BTN bets $6.60, Hero ???

    I can't see what villain has that I beat, except maybe AT but that's doubtful.

    Is anyone folding the turn here?

    Bet/Fold the flop. Fold the turn. Fold the river.

    Bet flop smaller. Super dry board.

    b/f OTF

    unless you have a strong reason to believe that Villain will overvalue all Ax here, even so you need a read that they will call PRE with Ax offsuit hands and then play the A9o- portion of their range like it's the nuts.

    You have to decide if you're going to commit in this particular spot earlier in the hand. You can't really rely on him to bet the turn and then check through on the river and have something you beat.
