Great reply thanks.

Easy raise, ton of worse hands calling AQ,AT,A5,96 etcetc. Might even look you up with a J if he is not a reg.  Because he called in the BB his range includes all the weaker 2pair and all Ax hands.

Having no 3bet range in these positions is ok, full ring players wont give a lot of action to you without the nuts so flatting and strengthening your calling range on flops works well.  If you think you need a 3bet range use AA and then some blocking hands like AQo or AJo.  3betting KK,QQ,AK just sets you up to get 'coolered' by AA when you get 4bet. 

Just call the raise vs an UTG open. The hand will then play out such that you can get away from the hand on the river.  As played a tight reg in the SB will have AA almost always here and you are putting too much money in with KK.  He is not 4betting QQ or AK here after you 3bet a UTG raise.

Call pre, then the pot is smaller and you can get away from the hand.  Dont shove and call it a 'cooler'

Bet $6-7 flop, shove $15ish on turn. lots of worse hands call including AK,JJ,77,66 + a ton of flush + straight draws. You def missed value here. 

You should have raised the flop to $9 or $10, folded to a shove.

As played, fold to the river shove. A 50bb donk on the river is always the nuts and my calling range in this spot would be only flushes.

I think he will check behind the river here with all hands which arent flushes.

It will be fairly obvious you have a flush if you shove all in now, but let him make a bad call with a set or KcKx hands rather than lose value when he checks river.

No reason to do anything but the standard play here, imo.

Just a call for me, you are very likely good here and probably never called by worse if you raise.  He will have all pairs, and broadway hands with the K betting this size on the river.  Would only consider a fold if he pot or overbet the river.

Pre is too thin in a 9 handed game, just fold pre, 3bet with Ax hands & AA-99 if you are iso'ing this player. 

As played check flop & try to showdown, lose to A high and win against worse K high & Q & J high if it checks down. On the flop its a case of betting folds out all worse hands and gets called by all better, He will have all pairs + AK high type hands which arent folding, which means you will be losing a lot unnecessarily trying to bluff this player off those hands when what you need to be doing is betting with pairs and checking down with nothing.  

If you say he is 'stubborn' and 'overly aggressive' he will give you money when you have a pair and you will not give any money to him when he has a hand.  That's how to best exploit this player, not bluff him every time because you think his range is weak.

I would say crazy bluff lol.  It might have worked but I think you can fold flop multiway. Beat this kind of player by making pairs and valuebetting not trying to bluff him off AK.  If you think UTG is playing too many hands 3bet him to isolate and play him heads up.  Try hands like AT-AQ and KQ-KJ to 3bet iso and print money that way.

Pre is fine, call flop, check call a turn 6,7,T,J. Lead big on an 8 or 9 or club. Then lead if you make your hand on the river, if not, check fold.  Small sample he hasnt raised a hand or 3bet pre and a with half stack dont expect him to be bluff heavy, or even positionally aware. 

I would not shove turn, I might even fold turn. A random player at 25nl is not betting this flop/turn/river to get you off a pair, more likely he has a nut hand, nut draws like AsTx, AsKx sometimes play more passive and check the turn.  He has a lot of combos like T9 & JJ & flushes which you are drawing dead against.

If you think about slowplaying consider;

If you call and a heart comes on the turn, then the turn goes check/check, so does the river and he shows 66.

Or if you call and a heart comes on the turn, then the turn goes check/he bets, what is your play?

I dont have one, maybe I should use QJ,JT spades to c/c 3 streets.  But the point is on a spade river, when the 50nl reg bets small on the flop/small on the turn/jams river, flushes are most of their range so I should not be calling without a flush.  If players are more aggressive at higher limits then AJ may become a call on such a river.  In my experience at 50nl, its not.

You should check call turn, and you dont have to call all rivers, esp. spades.  Players often check back a pair/2pair/set when the flush completes on the river.  QQ is not always 4bet so dont exclude it from his range.

I guess I am betting 2pr+ and straight draws, chk folding 88-TT & 76s etc. Then chk calling Jx & Qx. Given I think his range is pairs 55-TT and big cards. Can i improve this thinking?
