I don't have stats on Utrecht Slim. I played a big pot with him earlier.
I raised in EP with AQ. He calls with AQ. flop comes Q76. pot is about 10. i bet 7. he raises to 17. other players in the hand fold. i raise to 31. he calls. turn is x. i check. he bets 20 into a pot of 70. i call. river is Q. i check. he bets allin for 45. i call. split pot. i don't need analysis on this hand. i did play it funny and i even think badly. he was surprisingly aggressive though. i thought he flopped a set.

Should I be betting the turn? I'm a bit paranoid about everyone always having a set. So I check the turn to keep the pot small. I also give him the opporunity to bet with worse hands than mine. 4 handed after a call on that flop he must have a fairly decent hand. I thought most likely he has a set. Possibly A9. But the pf call with A9 is a bit loose. I bet pf the hand before too and took down the pot without a showdown postflop so maybe he thought I was playing loose/aggro.
I thought he would probably 3 bet me pf with JJ+ but maybe not AK.

What do you think?

Loads of aggressive and sometimes loose play going on at these tables

possible bet river folding to a raise, or else your line is fine.
