Even if he stabs - he wont go too far with his bluffs unless we know that he is aggro postflop, but general player won't go crazy in this spot. And he might bet with his equity, and check back turn when we call to see cheap river. And if he don't stab - you just let them a free turn.
Checking here is an option - but i prefer it doing when we are HU, and i have a read on opponent tendencies.

Not folding here, given the fact its BvB, we should expect more spazz in those situations , and we are on top of our range, he probably don't have JJ-KK, only one combo of 44, he can have weaker flush, and just random air or even overplayed KJ.. :)

1. Your 3bet size is a bit too small - though if the guy is folding anyways - you can stick to exploitative strategy, but i would 3bet atleast 3x here.
2. I give a lot of credit for cold calling 3bets, especially 16/11 guy - seems pretty nitty. His range here is strong, most likely 99-QQ/AQ/AK, and he might have some KK/AA.
3. In those situations you should probably have some sort of plan, and if you agree about his range being strong - it is perfectly fine to check/fold even if you flopped your top pair.
4. If you check this turn - you understand that you won't win this hand now? It is somewhat good card for you cos you can push him out of majority of his range if you bet turn and shove most rivers.
5. Now as played i can see why you made a call - his shove doesn't make any sense. But then again - it's really close, it can be a case of FPS AA/KK from his side. He might do that with AK...dunno, probably folding.

Don't really need to do any hard math to conclude that flop cbet is a must, you don't want to give 2 people a free card, and there are a lot of worse hands that are calling you. Turn - pretty sure we have the best hand here, we can bet a bit larger - if he have a draw he is calling anyway. River is a blank, almost nothing changes, we have the best hand here most of the time, i don't really seem him having a strong hand here, AJ-T9 at best. That being said its logical to bet smaller, but then again - hes probably not folding his ace, and you can bet few bucks more.

Don't really like to 3bet stack off idea on the flop. Even if he have a draw we are flipping. We pushing out his random bluffs, and we are dogs vs any made hand that he is stacking off here.
So bluff catcher should serve as a bluff catcher not value hand.
Flop we call, given the size, the blocker, the draws.
Turn is good card for us - makes a set of 3 less likely.
River J kind of connects with the flop, few draws hit there, few draws made a top pair. Before callin the flop raise i would probably stick to the plan to fold if a spade or A hits the board.
Now his sizing is very interesting, it doesn't look like a bluff so the call on river is definitely marginal, but we can call and expect to be good sometimes, and just gain information about his post flop play.

The worst thing you can do vs a floater is bet one time, and x/f turn or x/c turn and x/f river unless you really know he don't have the guts to fire second barrel when your range is weak.
Don't really like x/r turn, because board paired, we don't rep much - he can make hero calls. Much rather x/r here with a hand like KQ.
And having A hearts still helps us - so i'm leaning towards betting turn, and river.

you should have known the answer before making a turn call i guess :)

i would probably barrel this turn with intention of betting river on T J Q A 6, any heart - to fold all his one pair hands < K, and his floats that still have equity vs us, and might 2barrel bluff us from our hand or just make the best hand on river.

How would you perceive this hand with different bet sizes from him?
1) 10-12 on turn.
2) overbet shove.

Does this small overbet can give us any clue about his range?

The feature is ok, i think you should leave it.

Maybe a little out of topic, but one thing that bothers me a bit is when i make a post or few on forum, and other people replies, it is hard to find those threads. Would be nice to see some kind of mark on threads you made a post earlier. But maybe its only me, i have a bad memory sometimes lol :P

Well i ran into his top range (AA), but later today i searched and joined him at 100nl 30$ cap game,
and his whaleness just confirmed again. Saw some crazy stuff like reg opens - he 3bet shoves 30$ (cap) /w T4o. :)

Also maybe worth to note as i thought to myself now how it might affect him, as he ran into AK /w QJ yesterday and lost.

your 3bet value range depends on his 4bet value-3bet calling range, not of his stealing range.
I don't rly get in those spots, but what is your plan if you dont spike Q or K on flop? x/c? x/f? x/shove? Postflop there is not alot to discuss when you hit tp in 4bet pot :)

I prefer 5bet-shoving here with blockers preflop OOP. Unless you really have a good plan on boards you miss :)

I would check his 3bet tendencies. 3bet of 12% doesn't tell us much, he might be just very active in blinds wars. What would tell us something is his 3bet from CO/BTN.
Though if he is 3betting active in those positions i would just 4bet also rather then play a guessing game OOP when we miss, and we'll miss a lot.

imagine if his stack was lower here, and lets say he raises not to 13.8 AI but to 10.8 AI, do you think that changes something?
The fact that you made the raise so small makes a lot bigger chance of him drawing on turn. His line screams 'i have flush' :)
If you make a bigger raise on turn you would fold his weaker flushes, and maybe if he decides to take his chances he will think about the pot size and his stack and just push AI with his bigger draws.

Yes, river probably a fold, i don't see him bluffing with this line. One thing i would like to note is turn raise size, i would make it bigger. At least 4.8.

Pre i think more standart would be 3bet or fold then flat in this spot.
Flop call is not that good. Your hand will look like draw, you will be barreled a lot on turn holding a hand that improves very rarely.
As played bet/fold river.

Not setmining for him /w any pair in this spot would be a leak. And thinking they don't do that is wrong.
Also when you say about combos like 6 of TT its only preflop. On the flop there are 3 combos of TT, 3c of 44 in his range.
The fact the you hold A of hearts makes him more likely to have a set here.
Folding turn here is the best i think.

3. is not that sick, we still beat his range, he might be 4betting this w/ hand like AQ, TT+ just to take the dead money, he probably knows that BB is full of shit here a lot. But we probably will look insanely strong /w just cold calling this 4bet, and shove might look like some kind of PP, like JJ.

Yes in general standart is to 3bet, but i really feel that this is a good spot to call here. BTN range is so wide [at that moment he was stealing like 75% from BTN, and BB is a typical aggressive player /w stats like 22-20, and over 15 resteal, though small sample. He will squeeze like almost always if he spot the general tendancies, and he would be correct :)

I was thinking that if he squeeze, btn folds, we should call and keep his air range, especially with KK, i would 4bet hand like TT, because boards can be more scary then. Now the only thing that could be bad is of course the KK magnet, Axx board, which hits his range a lot. Other then that i think calling would be best for overall EV, more thoughts?

I was not talking/thinking about preflop, but yes - even looking at his stats - we can assume hes more call happy then regular player, and 3beting 68s here is not good.

I calculated EV with the chance that he folds of 10% and calls 90% fair?We still need 47% equity and it will be only breakeven play :) Math dont lie...unless im bad with it.You somehow see this hand as a monster. It would be if you were the caller /w this hand on this flop and raising his cbet.
