snap call and pray we're good?
Looks like a cheap block bet, raise it up for value.
Board texture is very bad for us when we take the flop multi-way OOP. Even when btn folds UTG limp call should hit this range pretty hard. It could be a weak value bet, but could also be looking to induce. I call here, make him table his cards, then depending on what he shows, use that info for later.
Probably raise/fold smallish, like ~75.
I limp in, but we managed to get this 3ways to a playable SPR of ~10 although OOP to one, so not a bad result.
Fairly craptastic flop for us, I would just check/fold.
I'm fine with just calling the turn bet. It is still a large SPR and we don't want to start possibly committing stacks. We have position, let's just evaluate what happens and then use that information to make as good a river choice as possible.
No draws got there, no one ever bets/3bets the river with worse, and this sizing is suggesting a weak hand that can't stand much heat. I would raise to like $50 - $75 and fold if he comes back over the top. The larger size might be better because I think this is a poor spot to bluff raise with all the draws busting (i.e. we're going to get looked up more).

Played fine. Just call. You get to see his hand (wait until he shows), and you don't own yourself.
If you can comfortably raise/fold then do that, I would go for $60 or something villain will just shrug call any Q with.
Turn: raise/fold to 75 (if called, bet river 1/2 pot)
River: (as played) I raise to 110
PRE - raise bigger. At least $20.
FLOP - nothing to add.
TURN - seems well played to this point.
RIVER - I think we can raise here, like to $75. He seems to be saying he has QX, I'm guessing QJ or QT. Obviously fold if he 3B's.
Just wondering if he would barrel off with weak QX, rather than just checking. This definitely doesn't seem like 2P+ to me, unless he's afraid of a straight.
In spots like this I always seem to run into some monster that was slow played and is betting small because it looks like we don't have much of a hand. I'd think low stakes rec fish would size up with a straight.
I dunno. The standard line is probably to just call, but I think a raise for thin value is sexy AF.
Another vote to raise/fold small, targeting worse Qx. Maybe $65?
I think it’s an easy call. Better never folding, worse never calling a raise.
Result: Hero calls and V shows QTo.
It would be unusual for a player who donks to check the flop with a set, but the standard play oop with a monster is to check to the preflop raiser. So V can have all the sets.
Obviously call the turn. He has plenty of Qx. But I don’t agree V’s bet on the turn is necessarily a probing bet. It could be for value with a set.
Given V’s range, I agree with the consensus to raise/fold river.
Does that mean we're bluff raising all our busted draws? I actually think doing that is very poor (cuz we're getting snapped off by so much on this blankiest of blank rivers). So with that in mind, I think our river raise should even be chunkier than I initially thought.
