If i face a xjam Im in shitty spot, but what UTG could check jam here in 4bpt? TT? I'm not sure esp deep.
The board fits perfectly into my range, not his, and I don't see what he could call a river jam with?
What you guys think about jamming any river?

I guess we can go either way here OTF/OTT.
I guess im betting my whole range OTF for 1/3 due to the fact that this board neutralizes a decent chunk of villains range advantage: as you mentioned: we have an advantage in sets ands SD here....However: This is more of an exploit I guess as ppl do a poor job of protecting their checking range in this spot.
Theorywise this gets a lot closer I assume...
OTT however we need to be aware that 4bet and XC on this board looks somewhat strong (range checking as the pre flop 4better OTF makes sense).
So the equity of our hand drops kind of...BUT....I doubt that betting will be bad: How would you feel here with TT/QQ+/AKss/AQss/AJs?
These are mostly hands that are supposed to never fold theorywise (beside AK/AQ), but im pretty sure that we are able to fold out at least some of these combos (mostly AK/AQ) while we still have equity vs hands that call/shove here.
So checkback or bet/call might both be ok....But please don't Bet/fold here!
I also like the chosen sizing OTT...
Effective stacks 165bb+.
How do you perceive his 4b range? History? Vacuum spot?
How does he perceive both your 3b range and then your range construction between flatting his 4b and 5 betting?
In your mind, how are your ranges constructed? I am leaning towards a mix with AKs this deep. I am leaning towards mixing QQ and pure 5 betting AA/KK. I am not sure if I have all of the sets here. The question I would ask myself is "can I make money here with 77/88/99 against his deep 4 betting range?" I think QQ/JJ/TT will be played as calls (again from your perspective. Do you have JTs? T9s? 98s? 87s?
There is also the question of his sizing pre. Feels bigger than "standard". I don't have a problem with his sizing, honestly I kind of like it, if his range is constructed well. But just under 3x as a 4b is kind of big IMO.
Flop Play-I don't mind it. Could debate the sizing in 4b pots (I have not spent a ton of time on this). Could plug in two sizes or give PIO to option to use a smaller sizing when facing a check.
Turn Play-I am not sure I like bet/calling jam vs any sizing we choose to use, unless we bet huge. I think your sizing choice is pretty solid, could maybe size down since our target is folding chops against AK and folding out something like KQ or AQ that has some pretty good equity.
Seems fine to me. RaoulFlush covered it nicely
