Against his turn sizing no way I am folding. River happy mucking.

Looks very strong. I would fold. I would be more inclined to call against UTG though.

I am check-raising flop all day, every day.

I think he's very strong there almost always, your double check calling range contains lot of Qx, and if he may think you were drawing to the flush, he's betting kinda big on river which doesn't make too much sense if he thinks you missed, I don't think villain expect you to fold some Qx combos on your range on the river so that makes more likely he's going for value there, also a 19/10 never have the 74s and very rarely the 67s (one blocker w the Q6s) but he'll be having 88 55 and A8s a lot of the time. I almost never see this sizing with the AQ on game, so he's more polarized to full houses trips and air, i'd be folding.

If you think he'll be folding some 8x combos may be ok to crai river buut I don't think this is the kind of spot where we should risk our mtt.

Is this a terrible hand to x/r on the flop? My instinct would be that we need to x/r at least sometimes, but I can be convinced otherwise.

I agree....top pair and a good FD

The trouble I have with x/raising flop is that it isolates us vs a lot of the hands that beat us. And at these stack depths it's going to be hard to show our queen as a winner ever, and sometimes even our flush. It's also going to be hard to gii goo on the flop etc.

Given the 8 surely benefits our range the most, how about a x/raise on the turn, or a turn lead?

I do not see any merit for x/raising having TP and isolating the strongest part of his range, because at the time we get 3betted on flop, we'll mostly be bluffcatching with our TP and looking for hearts in a massive pot OOP

It just seems as though we didn't get anything out of the massive but declining equity we had earlier in the hand

I think your line is good up til the river too. I don't like c/r flop although it is tempting vs. a positional stab. I would temper my c/r frequency here to boards where we can have > 2pr combos. Otr I don't really like calling here with 1 heart, much less with 2. It kinda sucks that we have a blocker to the only oesd too. That said i think CO can show up with stuff like JTcc; J9cc; T9cc as well. I think if we were calling something like 1-a here, this hand would be a fold.

I don't like to read too much into bet sizing, esp from guys that take weird lines post but in this case I do think that turn sizing might indicate a polarized range (ie: nuts or semi-bluffs) but I could easily be wrong.

i think some of this depends on what he thinks about your turn play. clearly the 8 is good for the x/caller, so he probably expects you to lead some and x/r some ott w 8x, weak draws and strong draws. i would assume your x/c range ott is very much weighted toward Qx, so it seems reasonable to me for him to vb a hand like AQ otr.

also, just from a bet sizing voodoo perspective, in general I employ a strong level = strong read. by that i mean i think 550 ott looks stronger than 500 or 600 and 2350 otr looks stronger than 2300 or 2400. i think its kind of a psychological thing that people think they're hiding in plain sight. but of course he could just be on the opposite level, so its something l try to pay attention to throughout the day to try and figure out if they might have severe sizing tells.
