3-bet pot: Out of line or not?
The main villain: (vpip/prf/3bet/hands): 28 / 18 / 8 / 329 and about 3% 3bet from BB. Seems to play quite straightforwardly in general. Maybe a bit NITish / weakish when facing aggression. Importantly can and do fold hands. https://www.pokerstarsreplayer.com/hands/c6b3cfee5a Preflop: The 3-bet frequency indicates that the BB’s range is very AA-heavy here (3bet from BB about 3%), although the sample size is not huge. Flop: Should he have checked his entire range here? I think he does not have many strong hands here (some AA with wheel/mid sidecards or with low pairs), whereas my/our ranges include more rundowns/gappers and double pairs etc. hitting that texture. To me villain’s bet sizing felt like a scared bet hoping to take down the pot and/or prepared to give up (or more unlikely trying to extract value from KKxx etc.). Anyways, with BDFD, two overpairs and the short stack behind me, I call. Would there be any point to raise here with anything? Turn: Now, just the two of us left, and he checks (SPR ~ 0.8). Given the flop action, and that the guy usually plays straightforward and do know where the fold button is, I considered this was a good spot to jam (although I guess it would have been nice to also have some blockers). I think AAxx forms a large share of his range here, but it would be difficult to call with bare AA as he is very often drawing thin or dead. What do you guys think about the turn play? Should I have instead checked behind? If so, how would you have proceeded on different rivers (e.g., pairing/middle/high) against small bet, larger bet or check?
