1. Hero's proceeding range OTT and OTR (let's assume blank river)?
2. Thoughts on checking our entire range in SB's shoes, check/raising KQ+ for value? Axh as a bluff?
3. Are you ever checking any nutish hands OTF?
4. Betting range OTT?

Thoughts:
I would bet when checked to with all Kx (all Kx being mostly KTo+ KQs+), AJ/AT as a bluff, and maybe even wider. I would also fastplay all of my made hands as a default OTF, which basically makes AK the top of my range here. So given flop action I would say that my ragne is very capped to Kx here which really just puts us into a guessing game when we call.. Guess we have to call down AK for those reasons even if it really sucks.

Hi,

I think if he had bluffs like Axh or whatever he is bluffing with he would just lead turn, I mean it just doesn't make sense for him to x/r here at all but from personal experience when people do shit that doesn't make sense they typically have a hand so I wouldn't mind a fold reviewing this hand but in game I probably have same thoughts as you because I just bet all hands im continuing with otf.

Oh also something important to pay attention to here is that he is flatting from sb vs btn raise with bb being the reg so he should be fairly strong and have more suited combos than offsuit.

I think there could be some merits to checking though, with the intention of c/raising if he has a draw. Especially if he think either one of the players will take a stab at the pot here a decent amount of the time as well as valuebetting Kx which will find themselves in a lot of trouble (as I did here..) if they face a c/r.

This is a very good point though:

I think we can even narrow down his potential bluffcombos to like AhJ, JTs, ATs here which really aren't really a lot of hands, and even the likelihoof of villain having either of these hands in his range in the first place, while taking this line with them could be discussable.

So all in all I don't hate a fold, and I did actually fold ingame and hated myself for it as this basically the top of my range here, given action. But yeah, just some random rambling :P

I think calling KJ, KT with one heart might be a bit better though, so we don't have to fold 100% of our betting range here, even if we bet/fold AK I guess..
