Here it is. As to my numbers, I have quite a loose PFR, around 30 at CO and 40-45 on the BU. This player did 3bet me twice in the last 15 hands, and it looked like an adaptation to me. I did not want to 4bet bluff with such a hand, even though I am not confident in the call. But I feel that the fold is a mistake. Maybe you can tell me something about it, and maybe how to react to increased 3bet frequency on our loose positions (I generally tend to simply fold a lot to 3bets, and if the frequency starts to really look like he is exploiting me I start to 4bet bluff a little bit, but I have a hard time calling the 3bets in general)
Here's about the preflop.
On the flop I think the c/c is ok, since there is no point c/raising here, as it would scare away hands like TT-QQ or maybe some loose A9, T9s-98s-87s.
The turn is a dream, and he does 2nd barrel here.. I think I don't have a lot of choices here, if I don't put my stack in the middle with top2 there was no point calling preflop, so I check/shove to get called mostly by AK, AQ, and AA, since I won't extract more value out of TT-JJ, and I am behind QQ, KK, and 99 roughly. I chose to check/shove instead of donk because he had a high 2nd barrel value.
Against a standard 40-50% 2nd barrel value I'm wondering which would have been better. My reflex would have been to donk I suppose.
Evaluation? Preflop play is bad I guess as I got lucky on the turn. I was about to check/call two streets here with my king, and had no real plan against a 3rd barrel except to fold...
