$1/$3 Live - Going for three streets with AQ?
Hero is mid-20s, tight-ish image. Don't have much of a read on V, fairly standard $1/$3 live player, not shown anything too crazy. Stack sizes ~$300 effective.
EP limp, hero raises to $15 with AQo in MP, V calls BTN, EP calls.
Flop ($49) - Qd9h4c
EP checks, hero bets $25, V calls, EP folds.
Turn ($99) - 9d
Hero checks, V checks
River ($99) - 6h
Hero bets $30, V raises to $95, Hero folds
Thoughts on just going b/b/b? Thinking back on it maybe sizing down and three streets might be a good play? Can't really defend the check on the turn other than being worried about a 9 over three streets ...
Similar to my other thread I make a pretty exploitative fold on the river here. Usually give villains at these stakes a lot of credit raising rivers until I get shown a lot of reason to believe otherwise. As mentioned in other thread, thinking this might be a big leak.

If they seen you make this play before check turn and then bet small on river and fold against a raise yes that is a big leak. I would normally for that price just call of with top pair and top kicker.and no draws on the river he cant have a straight or flush so only thing that realistically beats you is a 9. For all you know he could do this with a worse Qx then yours.
Just call off with your best holdings (top pair top kicker) and fold the rest that way you are balanced a bit better and less exploitable.
I don't play live. Just my thoughts.
Depends on what kind of AQo you have. If you don't have a diamond, I would tend to keep betting the turn, because he could very well be on a draw. Otherwise, it's reasonable to check. Betting is also fine.
Once turn goes check/check. I would bet river, and bet bigger (half pot or bigger).
As played, you're getting 3.5-to-1 on the river. That is too good a price to fold top pair/top kicker. You already controlled the size of the pot by checking one street, so there's no reason to fear being beat here. He could even have KQ and be raising your tiny river bet for value here.
Even if you think the opponents "always have it", you don't know for sure unless you call them down a few times.
