What do you think about this line? I dont think I am getting called by worse if I bet 3 steets in a 3bet pot. I also heavily block AQ and I expect Villain to never have KK in his range as he flatted twice preflop.

He might bluff bet something on the river if we check to him. He is betting all his sets and value hands of course but we are going broke here anyways.

What do u think?

I think you get called by worse so id be looking to gii on that runout.I would size up pre though to 15bb as it's a squeeze.

I like the river check. His line looks like a draw pretty often, when the board bricks out we can check to hope to seem him bluff at it.

If he checks back, well, sure we lose some value from wierd hands that might call a third bet, but AQ or KQ is probably going to bet if we check anyways. Also, we denies hands like JTs the chance to bluff the river.

I also like your call. We really can't ever c-raise for value here, because any hand that can comfotably call a c-raise is stronger than us... I don't want to turn this strong of a hand into a bluff, either. Nh, i like this line!

bet bet bet. Not many draws, because there are not flush draws. Still I want to get value from hands like QJ, KQ, AQ which mostly play check back on river. If he shows you a set that's fine, but still you should bet here 3x. You can't be results oriented that he showed you JTs in that spot. It's like 4 combos and you could lose value from more combinations which I mentioned before.

and preflop could be a little larger like 13-14bbs.

Preflop i like to raise 15 bb. It is ok line,i like it but if the opponent has a note of this line and bluffs and bets bigger otr like pot what you do?

PF I like a bigger 3 bet as there are 2 players already in the pot.

Your check on the river is fine, as it does give him a chance to bluff missed straight draws. For that to work, you need to know what that player's tendencies are, though.

I like the river check but I would raise after he bets. By the the line I would put him on either a big Q or exactly what he has when he bets on river...With that said it also depends on the player and your history with him.

Would 3 Bet to 15 BB as there are two players in the pot and you are OOP.

Agree with Misaki river is a bet as there are more Qx type hands then draws and fish will call you off with top pair most of the time, but mostly not bet themselves if they don't have AQ which you block.
