CO: 5 hands, 100/0, seems fishy, but no SD yet
BU: 6 hands, 17/17, no reads too

Ongame Network $0.10/$0.20 No Limit Hold'em - 5 players - View hand 1841924

Hero (SB): $21.33
BB: $16.55
UTG: $26.70
CO: $15.46
BTN: $49.82

Pre Flop: ($0.30) Hero is SB with K Heart A Spade
1 fold, CO calls $0.20, BTN raises to $0.80, Hero calls $0.70, 1 fold, CO calls $0.60

Flop: ($2.60) Q Spade T Diamond J Heart (3 players)
Hero bets $2, CO calls $2, BTN raises to $4

Hero?

How would you continue the hand? Reraise all-in? Call it, and bet the turn? Call it and check the turn?

Call so you can let the 100vpip guy call two huge bets with 9x or Kx and pray it bricks so the other guy will still want to shovel in money.

I'm just curious, any reason why you didn't want to 3 bet AK?....Even though we are OOP a raise to about $2.85 would have been good here....Also on the flop I would just call to try and keep everybody in the pot, and continue to donk every street....I also really like the fact that you didn't slow play here, by not doing so in this spot you are going to make more money....

BTN is never bluffing here. I either 3b small to induce a jam or call and x/jam OTT.

Because he doesn`t want to kick the fish out of the pot.

Raise. There are a million hands that are going to call. No need to slowplay.

But at these stakes, fish call way too much so they aren't going to fold their broadway hands and pocket pairs if hero 3bets.

You forget that btn can 4b and that`s not fist pump situation for you( you`re fliping at best), plus that gets the fish out of the pot for sure.
I think 3b is fine, but flatting is better here imo, because it gets the fish in the pot, and we smash the Btn isolating range.

Exactly this!
The biggest mistake you can make at the micros is actually to slowplay a monster.

One thing is clear: If it's a two-tone flop, it's a no brainer raise. But it's rainbow. Should we still raise it? Isn't seem our raise way too strong here? Btw A, K and 9 can kill the action and we don't like duplicated board either on the turn. So these things pushing me towards raising. But keeping the 100 VPIP player in the pot crying for calling.

It's a 100% VPIP player after 5 hands. Raise and feel good about it. No sense in letting an action killing card come on the turn. Just stack the BTN.
