Hey again,

Ok, I'm pretty sure that I play super bad on this hand.

PF: I think squeeze in SB with low Axs is fine sometimes, what range you squeeze in that situation?
OTF: This flop hits villain range realy well and I don't know how to play this hand, I have BDFD and BDSD, so what do you think is best?
OTT: I pick the gutshot, so I think I can cbet here.
OTR: My hand donesn't block any FD or OESD,so I try to make better Ax fold or even pocket pairs.

How do you play this hand?

Not sure about the 1/3 cbet OOP on this flop. I think I'd rather increase the size and have a checking range. Villains range hits this flop pretty well and you also have a lot of made hands as well as straight/flush draws, so cbetting with this hand seems rather marginal. That said it's probably not bad If we get too many folds from pocket pairs.

Turn is probably alright but not great. We do get folds from AQ/AK/pocket pairs and villain is probably defending ~90% of the time by calling, so it can work.

T is not a great river by any means, Tx makes trips and is never folding now. Our hand is rather good for bluffing because it doesn't block the folding range, but it's still not great. I would not expect many folds from pairs at this point and there are really only a handful of missed draws in villains range, KQo probably folds pre and combodraws have an option of raising earlier in the hand. I might just give it up, but reads help.

Preflop - Should be a fold.
Flop - Size up as you want to polarize against his range.
Turn - Should be a very polarizing card, which we should check at a decent frequency. 50-100% is fine.
River - This ccard is great for his range and horrible for yours. You should be checking quite frequently for that reason. I would give up here unless a specific read tells you he calls twice then folds too much OTR.
