NL 25 - I hate this spot

Posted 6 years, 11 months ago

Blinds: $0.10/$0.25 (6 Players) BN: $25.00
SB: $45.40 (Hero)
BB: $29.88
UTG: $25.25
MP: $20.26
CO: $68.34

Preflop ($0.35) Hero is SB with A Q

UTG folds, MP raises to $0.50, CO calls $0.50, BN calls $0.50, Hero raises to $3.00, BB folds, MP folds, CO calls $2.50, BN folds

Flop ($7.25) 8 4 5

Hero checks, CO bets $2.90, Hero calls $2.90

Turn ($13.05) 8 4 5 J

Hero checks, CO bets $8.50, Hero folds

Final Pot CO wins $12.46
Rake is $0.59

I thought I had no choice but to float the flop cbet to see the turn and hope to spike an A or Q or that he checks it back.

I never know what to do in those spots, should I just give up ? Call down, start bluffing like a mad men ?
