Villain is a nit, I always push him around, 3 bet him light, I was playing 30/22/3 at the table, overall he should see me as 26/18/2.5AF with 5-6% 3bet.

Villain stats: 145 hands
16/12/8AF
3b 5%, folds to 3b 50% but only 2/4
this popped in my mind during the hand, he goes to showdown 46% aka 11/24.

Nothing immediately pops into my head, so I'll just say stuff.

1) You both like the ace.

2) It's still a WA/WB spot.

3) But there's not really any bluffs to induce in his range.

I think I just gay-bet, gay-bet, gay-bet all the money in. And I guess I can fold if villain raises, since he's prolly not smart enough to turn TT or JJ into a bluff.

Turn is a fantastic card, I'm pretty much getting it in after that.

According to pokerstove you have a huge equity advantage vs his 3bet range. Since he isn't 3betting too many hands you can pretty much narrow it down to the only hands that beat you are AK or AA. So I think the real question in this hand is how to get the nit to pay you off with TT-QQ when he is in position. Maybe check turn and let him try to bluff at it.

Ditto
There's actually more QQ combos than AK here, although we may see AQ from time to time.

When considering his 3bet we must consider the fact that I always push him around. vs someone like him I am stealing 100%, 3 betting really light and I ain't afraid to 4 bet bluff either.

I guess what I am saying is that he might be trying to get back, now I don't remember if anything special happened between us but it could have so I am assuming he might have worst aces too in his range.

Still, at this point I decided I can either shove or check call, opted for check call because I feel like he might have some hands which he might fold to a shove but could instead shove if I check to him.

He shoved and I called.

I see two hands just calling your preflop raise: ak and qq. Ak is rather out of the equation because of hand removal and i dont feel really threatened by the diamonds so checking turn and squeezing one more bet otr from ur opponent looks great.( the poor sob should have folded those queens pre:))

Check call is infinitly worse than betting, QQ will very often checkback whilst AK will bet. It allows him to often play perfectly. If a nits going to play back at you because you've 3bet him alot (nits rarely adjust) then he is not going to do so by extending his likely nitty turn/river value range.

I think bet/call get it in on turns/river, there might be a few A,x hands here, but I think you're more likely to see some middling, 77-TT hand which are scared to 5bet jam pre. I think if he's your avg nitty tag player, they are usually scared shoving middle pairs vs aggros and play passively but I think unless he's an awful nit/tag he will be jamming in A,J+ JJ+.

That second Ace is just as much as a gin card for you as it is for him and based on your aggro approach so far - I think he's probably fine getting in pretty much most pairs in vs you.


I think it's more likely you will see him turn up worse pairs here as opposed to Ax hands.
