I feels lost in situation like this, he can have so many hands, but I still dont see any other way how to play here. Perhaps I should work on my x/c, x/r TURN range, to make my check OTT have more respect. Should I 2-3 barrel more in situations like this? I dont see him folding any aces he called PF with.

What to do to improove my game in situations like this?

Similar spot from the same session, as squeezer this time.

I don't think this spot is that similar at all. Here the flop is much more innocuous, so villain is less worried about you having a strong hand and depending on how loose he is could have quite a few PPs and Ace high he continues with on the flop, plus you have potentially 6 outs and a K you can bluff at.

Whether or not we can profitably barrel this turn is dependent on how well we're able to assess villain's calling range pre-flop. In the 99 hand though, with only 2 outs and villain likely holding an Ace, it becomes a very easy check/fold.

I think it's fine honestly, do you think he's floating A high flops very often considering there's so many Ax hands in your range?

But why do we bet the flop if we are planning to x/f turn, hoping that it will just get checked down? That he called with a hand like KQ and won't bluff the turn? Maybe this hand is better played as a bluff catcher and risk the chance of a K or Q coming which gives him very little bluffs in his calling range.

Because it sucks as a bluff catcher, T,J,Q and Ks all potentially beat us not to mention flush cards. Would rather use some small/medium suited Ace as a bluff catcher if we're gonna be bluff catching at all.

We can't really do anything on this board with 99 but bluff at it once or just check/fold. Betting here likely gets enough folds that it's +EV to do so.

Looks fine to me. Just check call turn with some Ax and you're good to go. Also, he's folding 73% to 3 bets and folding around half the flops he sees so you're likely not getting run over here.

You men x/c some Ax in general when situation like this occur or in this particular spot. Here with 2 flushes I would preffer betting all my aces.

You probably don't want to be betting all of your Ax here or you're just check folding everything when you check.
