Anon. So I figured this was a good squeeze spot I missed. However, as played on the flop should we be c/r and barreling turn?

Yes it's a squeeze spot for value. Always here. Run out is bad, but we don't want to be 3 way in the first place.

I'd rather donk out then c-r, doesn't bloat the pot as much and I don't like stacking off with TP in a single raised pot.

As played I'm not folding the river for their sizing, we're getting great odds to call and have the 3rd nuts.

Yeah defo a squeeze pre flop here IMO. Probably a board I'll check/call all the way, especially against the bet sizing we've faced here but I don't mind Harvie's call to donk here either.

I don't like donking river is definitely a check i don't think a squeeze is mandatory a 100% of the time either. I like how you played the hand. As for the river decision. Typically i don't think opponents bluff enough at 5nl in on these 4 flush boards so i like a check/fold.

Given the dealer made it 3X I'm more inclined to flat preflop this time round, it can add some disguise to my hand and the SB is most likely going to be weak anyway.
I think I'd chk/c it down on that board and fold the river. The small bet on the turn is often an indication of buying a cheap river or trying to build a pot, then they up the ante to get paid. It's rarely anything but value now so I fold, reluctantly.

Someone posted a similar hand the other day AQ vs a raiser and a caller so my reply is the same. This should always be a squeeze pre flop due to the strength of our hand and our hand not playing well out of position in a multi way pot.

As played I just call down.

It's not a mandatory squeeze, but at NL5 it probably should be the play given the average player type.

Other than that I like your post flop line. I don't see a lot of sense in check/raising turn or donking river. As played, I'd make a call given the sizing.

Let me change it up a bit: Say I squeezed pre to $.65 (good sizing?) and the BTN calls.

Flop is the same: Q24. We cbet 50-60% pot, get called.

Turn is the same: 8. I'm guessing we fire again 50-60% pot, get called. Would this be a bet/fold spot?

River is the same: 9. Bet/fold river? If we get called and lose, do we chalk it up to just a tough spot?

Flop: Is definitely a cbet. We have AAs,KKs,AQ,and QQs in our range so its good.
Turn: Turn is a check with most of my range. Here, i would be check/calling..
River: If the turn checks through i would mix it up between sometimes Check/calling sometimes bet folding. If he fires turn and river... I would probably find a check/fold against most players.
