Its likely fine overall. I would 4bet PF, but as played I'd check the river. By the river there's not alot to expect to be called by worse Vil could have a ton of value hands or pure air. That all said, at 2nl I don't think you're getting trapped too often so all of those value hands I expect to bet a ton.

At 25:25 with ATo, how often do you take that line to the river and then bet? Wondering if that's a hyper polar situation or just range checking.

I had the same question. Vil is capped and unlikely to have a set, 2 pair or the straight here. If we get x/r with a range of flushes, over pairs and random 76s (not diamond) combos then we still have good equity, and we get to deny equity when they fold.

Was also wondering if you'd take this line with the AdKx as well.

Thanks Pete!

Cbet is fine, could be a bit smaller but its fine.

The turn should be a barrel for value, you're at the top of your range here.

As played, call the river, as I'd discount AK and some of the smaller aces as they will likely 4bet (as described above)

You’re going to cbet this flop a ton, but if you’re betting J9s here then your cbet is frequentcy is prolly too high. Good candidate for a check/fold range.

As played, turn cbet seems good but it’s an fold as calling to get his stack later isn’t awesome at 100bb effective stacks.

He’s basically repping KT here or maybe ATs. You block most of the SD combos. Either way, the second T is a bad card for you to in that spot as his range is pretty narrow.

What do you think about not having a club blocker making the FD semi bluff more probable.

Even on the flop, not sure 33s is in that pools 3bet calljng range often enough so middle and too set in play. You block TPTK so that’s not great. QQs feels unlikely in the calling range

That all said, as played I’m calling river and if he has the set of Jacks then so be it. Also likely just raising the flop trying to get it in there but turning into a bluff catcher to induce is also solid IMO becusse it protects your range

Agree with Jack on this one. I’d likely raise 2.5 or 3x from BU for value. I’d say this sample prolly defends more vs the min raise so his range is vary wide.

Agree with the smaller flop bet as you’re going to have a high bet frequency, especially with the min raise. Check / Raise range is also going to be wider here as a result so you can call more.

I’d also bet large here on the flop for value as plenty of worst hands will call. Also bet large on the turn to set up a nice river shove.

Prolly a good math call on paper, however I don’t think you’re going to face folks who are betting at the correct frequency to be a profitable call.

Have to be have seen this guy call with QJs or KQs before to make that move pre flop.

I don’t agree that the range is so strong with someone you have tagged as a fish to not be able to calm PF tho. Plenty of Axs that opens here too if you think he’s wider than avg.

As played, Check back river

Bet flop, shove turn, fold river as played.

So I don’t think I agree with your ranges here OTR.

I don’t think you have QQ or TT here. Would have either check/raised earlier or lead the turn. Showing no aggression until the river and waiting for a C/R would only work with the most spewy players.

I also don’t see a ton of calls with 55 PF.

That all said, I think our range is much stronger on the flop than BU caller as we have all set combos, all over pairs, TP, two pair vs vil really has middle set and one two pair.

Think I’m checking all my hands on the flip to project my middle pairs and C/R a Polarized range to fold out those SDs

If I’m calling pre then it’s with the intension of floating and raising some of these low flops vs UTG range.

That said, in MWP I lend to think folks are less inclined to bluff so I think a folds okay.

Seems like you're forcing a lot of hands to play correctly agasint you. You'll fold out the draws but get called by the two pairs,sets, straights.

I'd probably have a blended strategy of C/C and a small bet here. You have SDV but the relative hand strength isn't great and by having you're trying to get value from 7s-10s that would prolly pay you off on the river anyways

I think flop bet was good. Would likely call turn and fold river.

Another the bright side, 45 isn't a hand you want to be playing OOP and then calling flops with 8 outs. I'd take the note and hope to keep playing hands with that vil.
