Villains stats are 47/16/1.29AF/70 hands

Should I fire again on the turn?

As played, is a river bet here good?

Was my river bet too small? (I think I know the answer to this)

I like the way you played this alot. Gives him chance to bluff river, controls pot when we're beat.
I wouldn't have bet much more on the river, probably $3.

Double barrel implies bluffing to me and I don't think we are bluffing here.

My logic in the hand is as follows:

If we check turn and call river we are 99% guaranteed showdown for the prize of 1 bet. If the guy overbet pushes river it is an easy fold for me. Similarly if the river is the A spades and he bets I fold.

I think if we bet we don't get called by a worse made hand and we don't fold out a better made hand. Therefore we are only betting to protect against the flush draw or maybe some 2-5 out hands which I am prepared to take the risk against being outdrawn in order to control the pot.

If he had a flush draw and misses he may bluff the river allowing us to pick up an extra bets. He may also make a stupid bluff with a hand like bottom/mid pair or even A high. People make stupid bluffs in 6max.

If you bet again its OK, but you obviously need to fold to a raise and if called you probably have to fold the river with the pot being that much bigger meaning you can get bluffed off more easily.

For someone playing almost 50% of the hand hes dealt I don't think 1.3 is actually that low for AF. I'm not saying you're wrong, you've played these levels more than me over the past few months but I wouldn't fancy betting all 3 streets here with QQ. I would either bet turn and check river behind if checked to, or check turn behind an bet river if checked to.

I agree with this because of the flush draw possibilities and him being a calling station. I'm more likely to get called by a hand I beat on the turn than the river right?
