Nit - Weird line?

BB: 50 (Hero)
UTG: 158.91
HJ: 108.84
CO: 80.53
BN: 50
SB: 50
Ok so sb is a 19/16 over 3k his squeeze is 6% 3b vs UTG is 1% and from sb is 10%

So obvs a tight range - wanted to keep the fish in CO in and gonna stack the nits tight range anyway on most run outs
Preflop (0.75) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A A
UTG raises to 1.50, HJ folds, CO calls 1.50, BN folds, SB raises to 6.50, Hero calls 6, UTG folds, CO folds
Flop (16.25) Q J 3 (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero checks
Weird check feels like hes kinda scared of me having QQ/JJ
Turn (16.25) Q J 3 4 (2 Players)
SB bets 10, Hero calls 10
standarddddddddd
River (36.25) Q J 3 4 Q (2 Players)
SB bets 33.50, and is all in
Weird - feels like he turned AK into a bluff as he doesn't expect me to have a Q here that often? and i dont see how he has AQ with such a tight 3b range v UTG

I would cold4b pre. His 3b range is very tight so i don't expect him to fold many times. If you coldcall, there is some chance that you'll play a sqz family pot, which wouldnt be comfortable IMO. 

When he checks I think i'd want to put it in on 2 streets so I'd bet like 10-11 on flop, and shove turn. He can have some KQo, aqo type of hands, or even KK which he won't be able to get away with.

As played It's a really tough spot.Since a sqz is a bit different spot than just 3bet the utg he can have AQ, KQ in my opinion.
Some postflop stats would be useful. I think i would play AQs as you played here, so he can't be sure that you don't have Qx.

I think I might just fold here because i don't think that a 19/16 player is capable of bluffing like this with AK.

Dont like your preflop play at all, u are risking to let 2 more in the pot cheaply.

Whats your image? Do u have such a nitty image that u can never ever can get a call on your 4bet? That u risk playing aces with 4ppl to the flop instead.


No, 4bet will get your life much easier.


As played, u can flop a coin if it worth calling.

I hate the flat call. You always get Nits money if you raise. You don't always get it postflop. (Take this run out, when he blanks AKo, when an ace hits and he has a KK). 

As played, I think you made alot of weak assumptions on the flop, turn and river. If he was scared of QQ or JJ then his mostly likely hand is KK which wouldn't betting twice on this runout. I don't understand not betting the flop??? He is unlikely to spazz bluff two streets if we check.

Yeah i guess on reflection pre isnt great and felt like checking back the flop gave me the best possible chance of stacking him on later streets

I felt like i was much more likely to get the 2 streets of value that set us all in on the turn and river once checking back the flop and gain a lot more information about his range OTT. As he will either put me on more bluffs and x/c down or feel secure and value bet worse (whichever thinks im gonna do call wider or bluff wider) either way i felt like i would get the rest on most runouts i guess - hard to recall in game thought now haha

Thinking about it im not a huge fan of checking it back or the preflop play either think i just got myself in a muddle by trying to get too tricky haha
