SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♣ A♥

Hero raises to 3 BB, MP raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 6 BB

Flop: (19.5 BB, 2 players) Q♣ 6♣ 9♣
Hero checks, MP bets 13.89 BB, Hero calls 13.89 BB

Turn: (47.28 BB, 2 players) 4♠
Hero checks, MP checks

River: (47.28 BB, 2 players) 2♥
Hero checks, MP checks

Spoiler

Hero shows K♣ A♥ (High Card, Ace) (Pre 61%, Flop 50%, Turn 32%)
MP shows T♥ Q♥ (One Pair, Queens) (Pre 39%, Flop 50%, Turn 68%)
MP wins 44.92 BB

His 3bet vs utg is 3%, same from MP.

I am not sure how to defend vs so cappt range? I guess it is KK+ and suited bluffs.

I know I cant value 4bet AK, but also by calling I cant expect to hit A, K and stack him off. Would it make sense to 4bet/fold AK as a best blocker, and when he shoves I think chances that it is a bluff is very low? Somehow I am not afraid that he is going to exploit me with 3bet bluffs MP vS UTG if I overfold here?

Hey GingerKid,

Preflop defend is fine.

4bet/fold is totally an option imo. Flatting is probably theoretically better but requires more skill on average.

Flop x/c is fine here.

We probably have enough showdown to check down here. We beat most of his bluffs. He basically never has a flush after he checks turn imo. He can have some Qx hands though. So we can either check or overbet. I think regular size bluff is probably the worst since I'm not convinced he'll fold any Qx on this board runout.
