NL10z - AQ in 3bet pot, FD on turn

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (6 Players) BN: $5.40
SB: $11.98
BB: $12.39
UTG: $20.28
MP: $30.89 (Hero)
CO: $12.04
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is MP with A Q
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.30, CO raises to $0.90, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.60
Villain is 22/16 but he is 3betting InPosition 21%. I wanted to keep all his Ax so decided just to flat. OK?
Flop ($1.95) T 7 K
Hero checks, CO bets $1.24, Hero calls $1.24
Check-call is my only option, I guess?
Turn ($4.43) T 7 K 3
Hero bets $1.35, CO calls $1.35
With my NFD and gutshot decided to lead. Not sure if its correct.Wanted to take the initiative and I didnt want him to check-back most of his range. When i think about it now, check-call would be probably better.... What you think?
River ($7.13) T 7 K 3 5
Hero bets $3.80, CO calls $3.80
I wanted to represtent flush or AK, but to be honest I dont know if this line has any sense :-/

Ask yourself what would do on the turn when you actually have a flush?

Don't think a flush nor AK would start betting so small and taking all villain bluff opportunities away. Either bet big for value (to get the most from AK) or just check-call or check-raise if you want to represent a flush. If the turn goes check-check you can put a lot of pressure on the villain by betting the river big.

Now the river bet isnt that strong as your turn bet does not fit in with your river bet.

If you Know he is 3betting 21% id very much prefer to be 4b a wide range of hands, AQ being one of them for sure.

What's wrong with him checkbacking most of his range?

I was afraid of all his one pair hands, like Tx, 7x, pocket pairs. When he check back turn and i will not hit my outs itd gonna be hard for me to bluff him out of the hand. Plus, ill deny him his chance to realize equity, when i bet and give him chance to fold.

You are essentially bluffing in a spot where it is easy to for you to get raised. I check/call here with a draw to the nuts vs every made hand he has. I would like this better with QsXx or JsJx. You have redraws vs all sets besides a set of T's that has a spade when he calls and it's not a complete disaster if you get raised since it's an easy fold. Getting raised when you have As completely sucks.

I like check/call turn. Can be a disaster to get raised off all that equity you picked up on the turn.

Also, I think mixing in some 4 bets pre would be good.

Preflop fine, either call or 4bet, AQo dont play great oop vs tight 3b range. EP vs CO i would fold against nitty guy.

FLOP: Defently a continue, i would mostly play x/c with my range, but x/r is certanly an option. We have some hands that works very nice as x/r, sets, AK, combodraws, 89s, AJhh.

TURN: Either way is fine, check/raise/jam is okay aswell. or if he xb turn you can bet big river. Lead is also good, especially if we dont do much flop x/r.

RIVER: I think fine, i would prefer a overbet to get maxvalue with your flushes and put more pressure with bluffs, and having As makes this a great overbet combo in my opinion because he will allways call nutflushes, and often herocall AsA AsK. Against this size i think he will sigh call alot tho. Other potential bluffs are 89s, 88-99 with a spade for example.

Potbetting river to represent AK seems to thin, he's gonna have you beat a fair amount and then need to call a ton of QK, KJ, QQ-JJ, Tx to make AK a valuebet. Betting smallish with AK and some bluffs might be an option, not sure wich bluffs to use in that size, probably 89, JQ.. value, sets, AK, some flushes.

I believe that your line in the turn is good. But you have to be consecuent of what are you representing and this is a dangerous game if you bet turn in that size you will have to overbet jam every single brick river. You are representing the flush and you have to balance it with bluffs AsQx is 3 combos then you will need about 6-9 combos of value bets if you have them fine, your strategy is balanced and solid.

Thing is also that on the flop you are going to have a c/c and c/r range, on the turn you want to have a c/c and c/r range, then add lead/call and i assume lead/fold range? I mean, you can do this but it is going to be complicated as hell getting it right.
