Set mining the BB
1/3 7players, folds to
BTN: Tight passive, young white woman (300) opens for 10. She overfolds to aggression and might ha
Hero had poor reads in the hand. His turn check was bad. But his preflop call and flop raise are pretty standard at low stakes.

I like setmining more than I think most do here, and I agree with your general points. At the risk of further pounding this horse into paste...
The "Tight" (Q4 lol...) BU doesn't give H sufficient IO if we're just considering her stack + OOP, & H isn't closing the action. BU wakes up with a 4! a non-trivial amount of the time here, given the read.
Tbh, here I'd prefer H sticks in the 4! vs calling, and I don't like doing that with 55. No blockers, equity-when-called isn't great, we're obviously folding to BU shove and probably SB's too, though that depends on OP's image: Better hands to 4!/f with. I grit my teeth and fold.
Make her stack the size of H's and I can get behind a call.
I now agree that it is a fold preflop. I don't see how you can average enough profit when you hit, particularly since you lose much more on average when you hit and lose than when you hit and win.
Balancing 4betting range with 5s for 1/3 live game because its the solver “correct play”.
Meanwhile opponents would happily call the 4bet with Q6 suited or whatever and having 50% equity against 5s. That we could have dominated easily 4betting whatever, Q9? cuz why not?
I can already hear the inner screaming when we find ourselves getting outdrawn with 5s .. !%#*#+} wtf is this fish doing calling with Q6 suited? - when they “suck out” hitting a middle pair, call flop and turn cbet, and proceed to win the hand because we chicken out on our bluff as “we could find better spot with no showdown value to bluff with, right? 5s should win sometimes here against missed high cards like AQ”.
Its a 1/3 live game. Save ur energy for spots that really matters. A simple question like “this dude from sb overplaying? Yes. Then I set mine 20% here for the lulz. “
