Hey guys, would love some feedback on some optimal lines in this 4bet pot. It’s a home game with both players around 600BB deep. Hero has AsJs in the BB. Villain is loose aggressive and has a very light 3bet range. I have been 3betting him a lot. I 4bet his 3bet from the SB because it seemed like a good spot to isolate him and play a big pot in position against his weaker range.

The flop 3h-3d-2h seems good for my 4bet range cos I have the big overpairs so I cbet it. However I face a check raise here and am unsure of how to proceed. It seems like an underbluffed spot here in a 4bet pot against my strong 4bet range, but there are some draws on this board and villain is very loose aggressive. Given our dynamic should I have continued here and reevaluated the turn?

Or would a better play have been to check flop and call a turn bet if villain bets the turn and reevaluate river cards.

CO: hero 450ish AsQc
HJ: villain covers
Preflop: villain open raises to 7, hero 3bet to 20, everyone folds, villain 4bet to 50, hero calls
Flop 100: Td7d5s villain chks, hero chks
Turn 100: Jc villain bet 50, hero calls
River 200: 5c villain bet 125, hero??

I had been 3 betting villain a few times in position during the session so I suspected he could be out of line with this 4bet. His standard pre flop raise size was 7. Given our stack depth I think every street up to the river is probably standard, but on the river is this a good spot to hero call?

I beat all the Ax suited 4 bet bluffs except for AK. AJ would probably flat the 3 bet. I block QQ and AA. I feel like his only credible value hands are maybe KK or JJ that played tricky and checked the flop. Interested to hear thoughts.

This game plays more like 1/2 game given the preflop raise sizes. BU covers me.

HJ: XX
BU: loose aggressive villain, frequently stabs at pots with middling hands Q3o
BB: Hero 200 AdKc
Preflop: limper Hj raises to 8, BU calls, Hero 3bets to 30, both call
Flop: pot ~ 90ish. 7h8d9d. Not a good flop for me I check and everyone checks behind
Turn: 3d. I pick up a backdoor diamond flush draw. Checked to villain, he bets 35, hero check raises all in 170, villain calls

I think villain likes to outplay me. We have a bit of a history where he calls my 3bets with fairly weak holdings. When he checks behind on that flop I thought he was def weak. With the 3d on the turn i thought he would stab if checked to, and a check raise would be preferable to leading turn, or check calling. Given the size of the pot and my stack size I decided an all in would work best. I could even be ahead if he had something like KdX or QdX. Afterwards he said he called because he didn’t think I would play a value hand like this and put me on AdX. Maybe true I would probably check call or lead turn with AA or KK with a single diamond. But I probably only bet that flop with a flush draw if I had 3bet broadway diamonds that contained a Jd or Td. So I could have some flushes when played this way, but hard to say what I would have done with AdKd or KdQd.

Anyways just wanted to get some thoughts on what the optimal line is in a spot like this on the turn in order to balance your range.

Game is 8 handed:
Hero UTG with AcQc: ~$380 deep
Villian button: Has hero covered
SB: ~125ish

Villian tends to overplay top pair type hands- in one hand i had KK on 8JQr, pot was 30 and he check raised my flop bet of 10 to 55. Haven't seen him 3bet much, but will tend to raise-call big 3 bets with weakish holdings. I'd say he has a loose-ish image.

Hero raises UTG to $3, villan 3bets to $12 on the button. SB cold calls the 3bet. SB is very loose and will frequently cold call 3bets. With the dead money and villain potentially 3betting me light on the button I decide to 4bet to $40. Villain thinks for a bit and 5bets me to $120. Is this spot a standard call and continue with AQs given that I am getting around 2.2:1 (calling 80 and the pot is around 175)?.

In the hand I ended up folding since I didn't think he would be 5 bet bluffing me with something like Ax suited. I thought it was too likely that his 5bet range had me crushed.
