River (105bb) : 5h
Hero ? (53bb left)
Reggish table
BU good aggro-reg vs who I've history.
A little sticky/catching
Preflop
Not an auto-3bet oop, but my hand is a good hand
3bet doesn't seems me awful, but calling oop with a hand with playabilty ok but not awesome, A suited, good pair (not that big) and make some nut straights seems me ok
Flop
Trips good kicker.
cbet it obv, for value, for protection vs FD, vs Axxx low kicked, for the times I'm not having Axxx but rep it etc...
Not sure about the sizing.
paired locked board when I'm repping strong, I put a ~55% size bet, but maybe too heavy, I could have bet lighter (7-8bb)
When BU calls, he's not that heavy as ip, and vs me in a board I'm cbetting very often, he will try often to catch etc...
Good flush draws, intermediate pairs catching (especially if he gets FD with), all is Axxx obv
Turn
not the best turn of course.
I'm dead (and oop) vs AKxx
He could have some KKxx that bink this turn
But I've still value/protection vs FD (which he would fold often here now), midpair (same, even if he doesn't have much because with my QJJx I'm blocking lot of them. Stay KKxx that is full now)
River
SPR ~0.5
not the scariest river
I'm giving my money vs AKxx
I'm valuing / giving him some headache vs undertrips (even if here, with my AQJJ, I'm blocking lots of trips with big kickers)
I may hope he fold / giving an headache vs A5xx. Not this 5 is the most terrible river. But as he's aggro preflop and he's opraising almost all his Axxx and not fold very much oop vs 3bet, if he has Axxx he would have any cards with it
check/decide doesn't seem me a good option.
check/calling, I think I don't have much value (bluff catch) with check/calling as if he's catching to here with some middle pair, he's not bluffing now.
And he wouldn't bluff with draws (who are very rare here I think).
check/folding seems me not possible with that SPR and that hand
so bet for value lower Axxx

This hand is really hard!
On balance, I don't think I love the preflop 3bet. This hand plays well multiway if BB comes along, but we're getting called by a lot of better/smoother holdings if we 3bet and we really don't want to face a 4bet.
The flop is tough, because we unblock cc so we want to protect against that... but when we bet we look like we have AT LEAST what we actually have. I also think that there's a lot of our range that we won't want to bet on this flop (premium KK, maybe some rundowns? depends on how wide you 3bet SB), so checking when we actually have an ace isn't the worst idea to me. I'm not sure.
And we'd probably check quad aces, being too far ahead, right?
The question then is whether to check/raise or check/call if BTN bets. I think I like check/raise pot actually, because it's going to be really hard to play future streets without filling up and I sort of want to end the hand immediately if I can earn a BTN bluff bet by checking. If we x/r and villain 3bets... it probably just becomes a math problem against a range of AK, A:cc.
OTT, we're drawing dead vs AK. As played, I think bet/fold is sensible and your sizing doesn't bother me.
If the flop had gone check/check, I think we bet/fold pretty big. If we check/raised and villain called... ugh, I don't know, it sucks. It partly depends on the SPR and if we could even bet/fold any amount that would fold cc.
OTR as played, I feel like your best option is to let them bluff cc and value-cut themselves with worse aces. I just think it's more likely that they bet with a losing hand than call with a losing hand.
