Im mainly playing a checking strategy OOP, here I think villain can take a stab with enough draws but also bet for value with some Qx

Imo, I didnt see any logic to why villain would bet this smaller sizing. Even from a Qx I would expect at least half pot to accommodate for the flushes in our range, else we can just comfortably call here. Other than that, it could be a nutty hand that doesnt want to scare us off, but there is so little and we block 66, 65s (QQ would 3b pf). In game it also looked like a FD could be played that way, so I decided to raise for protection

I would expect his nutted hands to bet larger here (since my 5x play the exact same way), or he tries to fold out some of my missed raised SDVs that have him beat. I decided to bluffcatch here, seeing that we unblock all FDs and block some KQo that could sometimes go for this play

This turn raise makes this hand weird.
The logic to raise for protection doesn't exist in a vacuum. You do an aggressive action with a part of your range to deny equity from your opponents range. For example on A92r we cbet small and include 9x, 2x and some lower pockets because 2nd pair has a lot of overcards. The more we want these marginal hands to bet the more it pushes our sizing down.
Do you think that applies here? Do you think that we are getting BB to fold out a lot of equity with our 6x? Or are we isolating ourselves against stronger hands and removing some bluff opportunity from BB for the river?
You can argue that you are raising for value. Lots of draws that might call and our 6x is than a valueraise.
River we have to call in theory. But I wouldn't waste much time analyzing the river. This turn play is what you would want to look at and see how your range plays here. And then move on from there to the river.
Preflop very standard.
Flop fine, you Said you mainly playing a checking strategy. Do you mean on this specific board? It should change alot depending on textures.
On this board i agree, 2 low connected cards and a flushdraw Will interact hard with BBs calling range, so you are forced to check often.
Turn i like that you notice that his sizing is likely weak. I think this a winning play, but i think xc is slightly better. You dont really want to bload the pot, and you Will face alot of akward river spots.
Instead i would push my Qx into a xr even with weak kickers. And xc alot of rivers.
I think you have a clear call as played otr, for the reasons you said. But turn i would play differently as mentioned :)
