i agree that he certainly has 9x hands in his range

in this spot i am just calling the raise pre flop

as played...

i fold

villain is limping 66 and 33, i wouldn't put TT in villains limping range. lots of combo draws villain can have, i gii here...

we need to 3bet flop

deep enough to flat i think

what position's were hero and villain in? blind vs blind?

you hand converter doesn't show the board..

we shouldn't be raising a tight play out of the blinds with mediocre holdings that often

when a tight player calls a 3bet from mp we have to give them a tight range that is pair heavy imo

i think in the scenarios above we should be betting once and likely shutting down depending on the board texture

not a huge fan of calling off here

i think folding flop is an option, a nitty option, but an option

if you have a strong read you have to trust it and go with this hand

as played....

i think we can profitably call the turn and fold to a river shove

i think villain can be taking this line with hands that aren't a flush

i don't like the raise pre. i prefer calling and just leading dry boards with the intent of shutting down if we get called.

do you think you can get his stack if the board pairs? if so i think you should call.

I would just fold to the 3-bet pre flop, but as played I like checked raising the flop. Also I am probably just check/calling river.

seems a little optimistic but i understand why you would want to flat. i just prefer shoving here.

If he hasn't 4-bet you yet I think we can just fold. I would guess he is capable of 4-betting light at some point, but until we see it somewhere else I would assume he has it here.

You basically have no fold equity and are 2 off the money. It's a fold.

No I am shoving here every time. Flatting a 4-bet for 50% of you stack seems bad. You are just getting it in on so many boards here, so I would just prefer to get it in pre flop.

We are getting almost 4-1 so I think by that alone we have to call. I am not super happy about it because we can be essentially drawing dead if V has J. I think this is how V would play a J knowing that if you bet turn he can jam with almost no fold equity. I think the V is a good card for you to bluff at so if V is playing on the level he can be shoving light here. I would call getting nearly 4-1.

I am calling it off but I don't like it. It's tough to give analysis on this type of hand because we can get so much info at the table by studying V. Players give off so much information when they play live. I would study V for a bit and try to pick something up. Was V tilting at all? Does he seem like he is getting fed up by getting 3-bet by young kids? If so he might just be spazzing here. I don't think we should really be 4-bet folding AK here ever.

Check back river and pray we are good. I just don't see the point in betting here. Flop call is probably correct, but I don't like it because V is very often going to barrel turns and then we are just put in a bad spot with our hand.

I also think the Mississippi straddle is bad for the game, but if it is an option and even one other person at the table is doing then I feel like I have to do it. You just miss way to much value when you don't do it.

If you play with the same players a lot and you are trying to balance ranges then I like a call, but if you know you will never see these players again then I like to just play it straightforward and 4-bet here.

In a vacuum, just reading the info given in the OP... this is AA like 99.7% of the time. I think we have to fold. V2, V3, V4 don't have to have strong hands here... but the limp 6-bet seems like it's always AA unless you can pick up some kind of live tell that V is tired or tilted or something out of the ordinary. But just looking at the info in the OP, this is a fold.

Yeah I had only been at the table with V for about an hour before this hand, but playing for 3-4 hours with him afterwards I began to realize he was just donking off chips, limping and calling every pot. He really didn't have any hand reading skills. If I had played with him longer my decision would have been different on the turn...

Also, FWIW I am not a fan of the 3-bet pre either. I think this is a good spot to play the pot heads up with a disguised hand. I am not a fan of bloating the pot OOP with KQ. I think we are ahead of V's raising range, but that doesn't necessarily mean we have to 3-bet pre.

We have to think about what kind of range would call a river shove that we can beat. Is V really opening and calling a 3-bet with KJ or KT? Maybe suited but seems unlikely. I think those are the only hands we get value from. If V is a station-type he can be calling down with hands like 88 99 TT with a diamond. Or this could be a very passively played Ax with the A of diamonds. I think we have to just check and hope V checks back. If V had a flush I think he would have raised flop or turn, it doesn't make too much sense to just call flop and turn with a flush unless Hero has been seen triple barreling with bluffs.

I would check and if V bets I think we probably sigh call but I don't feel good about it.

studying the push fold charts

In Hand 2, I think it's a fold. Tough spot, but I don't think V plays a worse Jx hand like that.

In Hand 1, V's flat call pre flop is what makes this hand difficult. You described him as aggro, but I don't see an aggro player flatting a big hair on the button in this spot. I think I probably end up calling anyway, but folding might be correct.
