Hey Guys,

I would appreciate thoughts on this hand. Pre was a mis click regarding sizing, i was intending to cold 4bet because AQ seems like the best bluff combo for this spot and he was 3 betting 8% in these positions and UTG opener was at 20%. No other specific reads.

Flop seems like a bet, I imagine he is peeling everything he 3b with given my misclick min sizing. Small sizing seems to make sense with range.

Turn is where it gets tricky... On the one hand betting to protect from AK/KQ or random AhT makes sense but on the other hand it seems hard for us to be bluffing this turn much and so when he continues he is not likely making too many mistakes, We are still going to have to play rivers OOP to so I was going to c/c and see the river with a more protected range for scary rivers. Thoughts?

River I guess is a bet but we are not going to be hero called much here so I threw out a ~60% which is what I would do if I had a hand like A4cc that I mixed in a preflop 4bet with. In retrospect I can see arguments for betting bigger (he rarely has better than AQ after checking back turn), and arguments for betting smaller (we are just not getting here with a ton of bluffs) so I am not sure what I like.
