Infor: villains hand is at the bottom of the question.
A little deep in the $16.5 deep stack but still a few away from the bubble.
We are pretty short, and playing relatively tight 16/16 over 109. Not much history on the table. But everyone seems good.
Blinds are 1/2k, we are in the big with 32k (16bb) -
8 handed table.
Action folds round to high jack (40bb 15/16 - 33) who opens to 4200.
Button (15bb 11/11/6.7 - 38)
We have QcJd. At this point, I am a little worried about bu. I feel my hand is not strong enough to 3bet resteal with buttons flat but I also feel it is too strong to fold for those odds. I feel I can take a flop and go from there. I will soon be on the button with roughly 14 bb if nothing comes of it.
I block QQ/JJ so I think button has a lot of KK/AA with that flat.
I proceed to flat anyway.
Flop is: AcTd8c
I'm not too stressed about HJ but with the Ace blocking aces on the flop, I now think button is heavily weighted towards KK.
I think I have a lot of suited Ax when I complete from the button. I also have some QJs/Q9s and J9s suited too.
All of which I would open Jam with 14bb.
So I decide to Jam my Ax hands to put KK in a tough spot.
And on the off chance he snaps me with AA then I have outs with the kings and 9s.
HJ folds.
Button calls... AsJc. Given the hand and the situation. Perfect flop. He blocks everything. But should this hand ever play out like this?
How would you play this spot and why?
P.s. AJ held.
