Sunday storm, 6300 to go (6000 itm). Don't remember what avg stack is at this point but hero is in top 12 I believe.
I don't normally do this, since they're unnecessary, but felt this was an okay spot. 90% of the time I'm still folding pre here as usual. But at the moment we're near bubble, hero has been playing fairly snug, and running well.
Once he calls turn, I expect him to 99+ or big club in his hand. Our river options are clearly to shut down, bet value size, or overbet jam.
I'm sure many won't like the fact I even tried this, but, putting that aside, thoughts for river?

3bet preflop or fold. fold flop. End of story. You have still nice stack and you can find better spots in this tournament.
Anyone else want to actually read the end of the OP and respond w/ river analysis? :)
I think KcJ or QcJ would play like this also. I cant really see many hands that called the turn fold on a brick river. Right?
Agree with chigh1, there are way more combinations of hands that get to the river and call, since villain is playing well and is snug then you only have 2 options, shut down or make a value sized bet which would be on the small side since villain is playing perfectly to the jam. Work out how many combos that get there that will call and likewise how many hands get there and fold on river? That could give you a clearer idea and best play?
You are repping very thin on triple barreling this board. Given your preflop range you need to be betting quite large if you use this strategy. This hand category doesn't seem to fit a bluffing range. Just because a player is capped doesn't mean he is not calling. To really exploit a capped range you need to fire pot sized to overbet sizings.
Preflop I actually think that your call is ok, but I also prefer a 3bet. Flop is just a very clear fold. Once you do get to the turn, I think your bet is +ev. On the river it is very player dependent.
@RN: I don't think we are repping that narrow, we rep a ton of flushes given that we defend any2 suited (~40combos), + almost all Jx (~65 combos) + 55, 33 = ~111 valuecombos.
HOWEVER: If we float 72 of spades here, we have a TON of floats, so we def. need to take care not to overbluff. We dont have any blockers, but does not seem to important in that spot, since we also not block any of the obvious folding hands, like Acx. Holding a high club other then the A would still be of value though.
