Default AQ and a questionable turn play

Villain is an unknown. I really doubt that I played the turn correct. Was the 3-bet too much? I know I'm beaten almost always when he caps. Do I fold here?

Pre-flop: (6 players) Julezz is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
4 folds, SB calls, <font color="#cc0000">Julezz raises</font>, SB calls.

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3SB, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Julezz bets</font>, SB calls.

Turn: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2.5BB, 2 players)

I usually start calling down after being c/r on that turn. I don't think your hand is best often enough to warrant a 3-bet. Once you are capped, the pot is fairly bloated at that point. 9.5 BB. I think I'm showdown bound against an unknown.

Without reads, 3-bet is excessive. Call down from the C/R though.

I would just call down from the turn check/raise. Your 3-bet isn't that bad if you are taking a FSD and you have a read that a known villain will check/raise a draw (and hearts or 5x) on the turn and not bet the river UI. Otherwise, my default line here is to just call down from the turn check/raise.

i usually call down the turn c/r. (though it is a blind battle--3 betting can't be that bad).

if you really want to put in some more action, raise the river.

I dunno, I don't really like doing this at low stakes against unknowns because you can't really ever fold for 3 unless you have a really marginal hand (in which case, trying to squeeze thin value out of it on the river doesn't seem very smart). Maybe on a scarier board a river raise might be nice, but not so sure here.

calldown is best because you cant fold to a cap or UI river, but i dont thinks its horrible especially in a blind battle. After he caps you look totally whiffed but you might have outs and on the River this Pot is way to big too fold.

I think it's too much, usually when people cr a big street at this limit they have a strong hand. I'd just call the turn raise and make a decision on the river. Ok who am I kidding, I'd call down from the turn raise I can't fold TPTK in a blind war against an unknown eventhough the pot is pretty small.

Ok, my thoughts were going in the same direction after I reviewed the HH. Would folding to the cap be horrible in a 6.5 BB pot?
