Villains 3-betting range

Is pre-flop a standard call?

What range do you give for villains flop jam? AK with a heart, AA,KK,QQ,JJ? and maybe TT,99?

Preflop
I like raising it up big against someone, who apparently posted. The 3-bet suck, but you are getting a good price to call in position.

Flop
No idea, what range this guy have, but he obviously did not want to see a turn card. Probably he dont have absolutely nothing, and whatever he has, you obviusly cant call with this hand.

Very standard call pre-flop. Especially against good regs who are 3-betting button opens light, but basically against any player type this is a profitable call. The range you posted is on the tighter side and even there you have a +EV call in isolation.

The flop play is very weird obviously but at least villain is winning the minimum because we're always folding. He either has the flush already or is bluffing with the ace of hearts. Since we don't even win against his bluffs there's no point in calling.

You played it fine. If you had KQ off, it would be a fold for me. Villains flop jam range is pretty much what you wrote.

Preflop I think your Iso and calling of SB's 3 bet is fine.

On the flop I'd thank the guy for making your decision to fold so easy and go on with your day. You can easily just defend here with Trips plus and not worry about folding anything else.

Overall his play was super spazy and I wouldn't worry about trying to put him on a range in this spot as his flop play makes no sense so rest assured his range construction in that spot won't make sense either. But I think it will be heavily weighted to KK+ Trips and better with random illogical bluffs mixed in.

Hope this helps

Yes, it's a std pre-flop call. Your pre-flop 3-bet range from the SB is way off.

Our ranges seem similar, I excluded some of the weaker suited connectors and other weaker hands because I thought most players at 2nl are 3-betting for mostly value from the SB or a range of value hands and suited broadways. Lower suited connectors have a hard time realizing their equity from OOP I think as-well, tell me what you think.

If by similar, you mean not the same, then sure.

You have a 9% pure value range. I put a 12.5% value and semi-bluff range. If this were higher stakes, the range would be even more polarized. I adjusted down for these stakes.
