On the turn, I wasn't too sure what min-raise meant for villain's range? While playing, I thought there might be some 4x and flush draws. Do you think it's actually quite linear (all value)? And what about river?
Thank you!

I would bet-bet-bet and would be all-in by the river. As played I would definetly go all-in OTR. Fishes size their hand strenght, so im guessing he had KTo.
Why did you check OTF?
Maybe flop is a mixed check in theory but against a loose passive recreational I would cbet at least 1/3pot, if not 2/3pot. Sizing the strength of my hand against a recreational, and this is a pretty strong hand, especially having Qc. What was your plan if they bet? check/raise? check/call?
On the turn I expect almost always value, but sometime you induced by checking flop.
River I would shove because they always call 56. Yes sometimes we value own ourselves vs a set or a straight, but they play so wide preflop they have 65, K5, Q5, Q6, 63...
don’t x flop against fish, they’re not gonna randomly bluff into the PFR on a K high board. gotta raise the river u have the nuts.

I don't c-bet very frequently in single-raised pots when I'm OOP! Here I decided to c-bet this hand 75% of the time and 'rolled' a check. And there's the fact that I'll do a lot of bluffing on the turn when flop goes check-check, so it's nice to have some value to go along with it (still very much overbluffing though!). My assumption is that villain's stab/float on the flop will be more capped than it should, so often times I'm just betting all my air on the turn.
P.S. They had AKo

Pretty sure I was check raising if they did bet on the flop!

Yes I agree, check call on the river was a mistake! I didn't realize while playing that they had a lot of 2 pairs.
Imho RNG when playing against a fish is a crime.
