Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 31/15/4.7

Villain's HUD stats over 336 hands. I should have a better read on villain after that many hands, I'm realising I need to work on that area of my game (any advice on how to do this woud be appreciated). I'd consider 31% VPIP on the high side but this is definitely no fish. His OOP vs c-bet are: call - 27% (11 hands), raise - 30% (10 hands), fold - 45% (11 hands).

I see a few things wrong with the way this hand was played. It seems like you decided you will be going all in with this hand from the start. if thats the case you should be shoving preflop or else you allow your opponent to go all in with you when they make a hand, and fold when they don't. so you only get the money in when you're behind. Preflop i think you should either shove given your stack size or make it 2.2-2.45 BB since 3 BB will already be a good portion of your stack. Also, i wouldn't C-bet. As the preflop raiser this board doesn't favor your range whatsoever. the only thing you are representing is a high pocket, and if you always C-bet here your opponents will know usually don't have a high pocket pair and they can profitable call you down with really any pair. Instead i would check back the flop, Call a small turn bet, Fold a big turn bet, and then Fold the river, or if you hit by the river then either call or raise depending on how the action would unfold. All in all i think you should have only lost about 190-400 chips here (assuming you lost the hand).

I'm just jamming this pre. 15 BBs and AQ is a good recipe for a pre-flop shove.

For me, the pre-flop was well played, but it was fold after that flop, you still had 12BB you could continue doing something else I do not see the need to expose all your stack after that flop

Hi mate, I think it depends on how your game is, post flop, if it's good you can do open raise, but if you want to simplify, push pre flop.

Preflop pot = 40+80+8*10 = 200
Your Mfactor is 1200/200 = 6
Is only one right move --> all-in
If I were you and I wouldn't hit a flop, only check and show free turn.
SB range is very wide.

you should be jamming this hand preflop

the only hands strong enough to min raise and play a flop are the big pairs. so JJ+ or potentially QQ+. you balance that by adding a couple of raise/fold hands such as suited wheel aces or QJo
