Hi Guys,
what do you think of that spot? There could be an argument for 3betting here preflop but for value I 3bet AK-JJ+ or I bluff 3bet with suited connectors or some suited Ax. So I call and semi-reg 3bets from the SB, with an UTG call I think I am getting the right price to peel here? His range is probably 10s+ maybe JJ+, AK maybe AQ. He follows through on the flop and I fold top pair top kicker as im not really beating anything of his range here losing to anything JJ-AA only beating AJ or an AK bluff here. And I dont really have AJ in his range here. Fold preflop maybe only flat with AK, QQs here? 3bet in the first place folding to a 4bet?

I like 3betting pre both for value and isolation, +postflop becomes much easier IP with aggression prob fold to a 4bet because NL10 players usually have it when they 4bet.

As played, you should definitly call flop at least.

thanks for the advice guys. what would be your strategy after calling the flop, the turn blanks and he 2nd barrells for lets say half the pot?

I think that if you want to play this spot correctly you would need at least some info on villains? How wide is UTGs opening range here? How wide is SB SQ-ing here?

As played I`m at least calling flop and evaluate on turn.

If SB is nity, despite the good price I could see finding a fold PF because of SB stats and positions.

His range pre is not TT+, AQ+; it's significantly more likely to be polar (in which calling pre is fine and you should definitely call flop since he has bluffs), or simply just QQ+ AK in which you should fold pre and then fold flop. Some polar ranges will contain KQ, which is a very strong argument for calling flop. Plan to xb most turns when checked to (which should be frequent - he can't really go for 3 with AA/KK on this board).
