$20 NLHE 6-max: Villain reps nothing, hero call A high?

Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 33/24/44

Villain just reps nothing here right? He snap shoved the river so if he was doing this with a random 9 I would think he would have at least thought about it and I highly doubt he sizes turn and river like it. Obviously my call on the turn is questionable as well, but i just think he reps nothing and I'm ahead a lot.

It is a weird line when he checks back flop and bets big on turn. If you don't think he slowplays PP's here or 7A or something often enough then calling looks good.

His turn bet is so big I wouldn't put him on 9x either, I mean what's he going to get called by from his POV that he beats? not much.

My thoughts exactly, literally no hand really make sense except potentially the odd slow played 7 on the flop but i believe he would nearly always bet trips in that spot

I don't know why you would even call that turn bet. And the river? I guess if you are this far, might as well.

I don't think ace high is good here. It is just A-K you hold, not even a pair.... There is nothing at all that you beat here but a total BS bluff. I would have folded the turn.

FWIW, I don't think you have the best hand. No way. Fold turn, fold river, whatever. Do you really think he 3-bet preflop with absolutely nothing? Maybe he is trying to be sneaky to get value out of a non believer...

I think he has a pocket pair, maybe jacks or queens, thats why the preflop3-bet and the check on the turn. maybe he just wanted to be sure nobody had a 9. If not, i think it was a bluff. But it is a very complicated hand. I would have 4-bet preflop and then make a c-bet, or if not fold to his bet in the turn

4bet gii preflop.

I nearly did this but we are 150bb deep and 4betting from UTG looks extremely strong, no?

Against this guy, in a squeeze spot, I'd be comfortable with it.

OK then, as played?

Probably fold to the turn bet. I mean most of the times I see players take lines like this is when then flop the world (33/77) and want to give people a chance to catch up / hit draws or they have absolutely nothing. I think 99 bets the flop so I doubt he got there on the turn.

But why would he 3bet 33/77 pre, perfect spot to set mine surely

that was a hero call u just put yourself in a tough position by just calling out of position with AK, he could easily playing KK or AA like that.

I had someone do that same path of checking the flop... But the turn card gave me trips and him the book... It's definetly used a bit that line.

I think Villain has to have hand that beats you here, otherwise why bet so much! he can easily have hands like 77, a7s, 78s, any 2 suited cards really that involve a 7. for me its a jam pre to avoid all complications.

whydidn't you 4bang him pre?

as said above i did consider it but didn't really want to get stacks in pre since we are 150bb deep and 4betting utg looks pretty strong

so you'd rather call OOP with a hand that probably won't hit?

So you would call 10J instead in this spot?

I wouldn't 4 bet it pre either, he isn't stacking off worse than QQ, maybe not even QQ and your too deep imo.

yes

My play would be bet half of a pot on turn because everyone just check on the flop. If I would get called I would put no more chips. (Honestly, I guess I would even fold pre-flop If I had some kind of read on an opponent. Fishes overbets QQ+ and his 3-bet really seems way to big. I believe he slowplayed AA or KK.)

I assume that's because your range is fairly polarized. If you are balancing though or looking to get a multiway raised pot going with suited connectors or something though, you'll be getting into this situation more often where things are a little more clear (for example, with JTs if you got 3bet and someone cold called behind it's much easier to come along.

You're right though, playing 3bet pots oop as the caller is asking to play weird spots.

seems like a pretty bad call. Villain could easily have a big PP here and checked the flop because there aren't many draws or anything that he fears you would have in a 3bet pot.

Yea it's possible he checks the flop with an overpair but does he bet so big and snap shove the river with one? I personally think he would nearly always bet an overpair on the flop vs 2 opponents though.
