match is about 25 hands in and basically nothing at all has happened, dont think we had even seen a turn. Villain has been raising 100% of buttons though. What kind of range do we give villain on flop and should we be betting turn?

My first thought is this looks like a pocket pair...say 77-JJ.

bet for value?

I gotta think AK, Qx, 22 or 33 are all a pretty small part of his range and he played the hand pretty weirdly for most of those.

Check-Raise would be a good move. Or check-call. I don't like the bet because I would not want to be check-raised here. Just my thought tho.

You're 25 hands in and he's raised every button, find a better table imo. Just giving your own advice back to you. :)

As to the hand, stack to pot here sucks because we can't really bet fold. I guess there is some thin value to be had here but I REALLLLLLY hate life if I get CRAI. I check/call anything up to about 1/2 (maybe 2/3) pot.

I don't mind getting check-raised here, because my hand is pretty marginal and I don't see it happening as a bluff very often.

Ergo I value bet it. I check-behind IP when I don't want to get reraised because my showdown value is significant but a bluff CR is very possible (i.e. set on 4-flush/straight board). Here, C/C is cool though because that does induce bluffs. I still think you get called by worse hands a lot since you checked the Ace.

I bet-fold to like $8-10. We really don't get paid often and I think his range is a lot of PPs below Q. Let him think he has too good of a price to fold. I'm not positive here but I don't see a 50nl HU player capable of turning his hand into a bluff here so I think it's a pretty easy fold to a shove.

i really had no clue on the river, i nearly checked, i then thought seriously about shoving and ended up betting $9, epic bet imo :), but villain had a,8 :(. Still don't really know what our action should be. I think bet small/fold is jsut the least icky

First, I dont really like 3betting mid Aces HU, but as played I might even consider shoving this river, making it look like a bluff. Does he really ever check behind trips on the turn? Do stronger Aces float this flop a lot? I think a shove just looks bluffy and might get looked up by some smaller pocket pairs.

not too likely, maybe sometimes. 33 could def check since they aren't worried about flosh. also an outside chance at 22

yes

i really don't like a shove here. 25 hands in, no real history, it's a 3bet pot with paired broadways and an A on it. yeah, i hate shoving tbh. small-mid pair probably calls a $8 bet at least 4x more often than they call a shove imo. and that doesn't even take into account the times you value-own yourself really hard

small b/f seems fine
