Default Turn decision, blind battle - AT

unknown raises on the button, sb folds and Hero 3-bets AT from the BB, unknown calls.

Flop - AQ4
Hero bets, unknown raises, Hero calls (planning to check/call down, he will bet every single hand for me to the river and I get an extra big bet from Q-x)

Turn - T
Hero checks, unknown bets, Hero raises

Logic here is, Q-x usually checks the river, so I wont win any more from him unless he has QT then I get paid, but now that I definitely have the best hand and don't mind a raise, we also get an extra BB when he calls down A-x hands

I think raise is important to protect your hand as well. In a blind battle, villain could easily have Kx and you need to charge for the gutshot as well

Your logic doesn't add up. You say you are planning to check/call down as he bets every hand. But then you say that he will check the river with Qx.

All things aside I think you played it fine, just your post isn't clear. You can either take the line you took here every time or you can c/r the turn as well. I think it's important to mix it up but most guy will call your turn c/r with a hand like JT or even 77 trying to spike you, so it's 2 bets either way.

what changed that made it so that he would bet the river with Qx when the flop was AQx but not when the turn was AQxT...? makes no sense.

i'd 3-bet the flop, but i dont mind the line you've taken. but i wouldnt care if the turn were a T or not.

I read this as villain bets any ace and will fold to a 3bet with Qx.

I would play this the same way...

You're losing a sb when he would have called down a flop 3 bet with a worse hand though. I think he has a lot of worse aces here and some Q's. I also think he calls down some of the bigger Q's and doesn't bet the river with many of them after you call the flop raise and the turn. I don’t like b/c-c/c-c/c UI here. b/c-c/c-b/c is the closest thing to your line that I think is decent. I would 3-bet the flop and take it from there most of the time. I can’t see myself folding this hand here either. This hand is also somewhat limit dependent.

Sorry, I mean any hand that he would call here, he would bet for me anyway, except for Q-x on the river. I mean all A-x hands that may call down if I bet/3-bet, however Q-x will almost always fold.
