This bluffraise on flop, thin bluffbet on the turn and a thin valueshove on the river, mostly against Jx which is a huge part of villains calling range on the turn.

I'll go with Q 
J
It's pretty legit hand to open at SH , and we are >100bb's deeper with players behind us .
Like to c/r at flop because of protection of our top pair vs. weak villain bet and we have BD FD+SD , so it's nice balance to our range .
Turn we try to ger value from A :club:x 
, 8x hands , maybe fold some over cards .
River we get top two pair we got 80% of pot so we can ship it makin it look like a triple barrel bluff or smthin missed and hoping to get called by AQ,KQ maybe some hero calls with TT,AK .
Most likely is A :club:Q
Check/raise flop as semibluff somehow, continuing on the turn and finally shove on the river for value.
Lets start.
Hero open UTG+a... Range of good UTG+1 open is ~12% 66+ T9s+ T8s, J9s, ATs+
When we get called and see flop we got our decision.
Hero decide to go for check-raise. I feel like if hero have set, 88, JJ, he would not like for villan to have free card with flush drow out there. So Mine guess is that his value range with check-raise is maybe 1,2 kombos of set, (there is 3+3 kombos out there)
It makes sense if hero blocks 1 flush, like 8x 8 but I dont think that big part of his range with check-raise are does hands... basicly now I give Hero range of these hands...
2 set kombos, 8x 8 1 kombo T 9 , 1 kombo A K , 1 kombo A Q :club:, 1 kombo A T , I give hero 6 kombos of AA, and 6 kombos of KK, 1 kombo of T 9 :diamond:--- Over rall, 2+1+1+1+1+6+6 +1 ---- 18 kombos 2value kombos, rest semi-bleff kombos.
I discard 44 bc I feel like most people know that low poket pairs are not profitable as much if you dont have strong reads.
when Turn hit, And Hero decide to continue beting, I narrow his range a bit. I keep kombos of A Ax 3, I keep 2kombos of 8 8x,, 1 I keep T 9 I keep 1 A T 1 kombo of T 9 ( this one is too weak to see river free, so I feel like this hand would bet/fold turn )
I feel like A Q and A K Continue with bet/fold
On river when hero goes all in... I discard A T and A A x 3kombos ( I feel like this hands have showdown value and hero would decide to check-call river with AA or ceheck-fold with A T
I am left with range of 8 8x and T 9 T 9
I am going to go with T 9 bc I feel like somethimes hero would not check-raise 88 to much in that spot, I feel like he would more times becide to go bet-bet-bet even if he is blocking 1
It is a dead race betwean T 9 and T 9
Final answer is T 9
I believe the hero has A 8
6 handed suited ace is perfectly fine to raise in my opinion, but im very aggro.
Flop: You dont check raise the flop when you hit a set in my opinion as your only getting called by hands that have a good chance of getting there against you. Unless hero has a sick on the CO you dont want to be raising off worst hands
Turn: Once you raise the flop and miss the hero fires again to rep an over pair or AJ potentially. Can get CO to fold middle and bottom pair while still building a good pot if hero gets there on the river.
River: Its a brick for our hand but completes a possible straight so a great card for us to bluff at. We cannot with the pot by checking, and don't want to give the CO goods odds to make a hero call with top pair. By shoving we polarize our range and can get a jack to fold.
I believe the villan calls with 10 9 or Q :club:10 Think his two pair has bested an overpair as river bricks for flush draw or hoping that his rivered top pair is good considering the size of the pot
A K
Pre: standard
Flop: It's hard to get someone to fold flop, specially on this flop. It's probably hard to let him fold turn as well since he'll be calling with a lot of his draws.
Turn: Once he called you either give up or go with the hand. Hero goes with the hand and barrels is draw + overcards
River: Everything missed but there is a good change vill is prepaired to fold some of his Jx hands. And since the plan on the turn was to go with the hand this is what hero does.
88s i guess its ok to raise pre even from utg. and c/r on flop is to make any flush draw expensive and get his whole stack in if there s no club...and tn its standard bet on turn and when villian didnt raise even on turn so he shoved the river to get max value al, kj aj, qj..
AQo.
Because hero c/r on the flop to charge any draw and continue bet till the river
My guess is A K .
Preflop: can be anything playable really.
Flop: great flop for value betting with made hand, not that great for kicking out an opponent with a semi-bluff cbet. Since Hero decides to make such a strong move as c/r we can assume he has a draw. Plus, if Hero cbets and gets a raise - which is likely, considering the flop texture - it would be difficult for him to play his draw.
Hero's raise gets called and we could assume Villain has a set or a draw himself. I would go with a draw here since I'd expect for Villain to protect his set against Hero's draws.
Turn: blank, and a standart move from Hero to continue his aggression. Villain calls again and we can still assume he has a draw.
River: it would take some balls for Hero to shove river when his flop c/r and turn bet got called, so I think he either completed his straight draw with T9 or missed his flush with AcXc and now has nothing. Any hand with showdown value (like AQ) would c/c here. Plus, if Villain actually had a draw he very likely missed it and there is not much value to be extracted by betting big. If I was Hero and had T9 in that spot I would try to induce Villains bluff on the river. That's why I rule out T9 here. And from all the AcXc hands I think Hero would c/r the flop with AK and A8 only. Let it be AK.
I think he has Q 10
Check raise with the gutshot and flush draw is fairly standard and then he has to CBET the turn with initiative and he also has some fold equity with the continued aggression. Then he hits the river, which of course he will not slow down with his hand so well disguised and have 3/4 of pot stack left for a shove that would bring him great value.
10 10
a check on the flop - pot control > check reraise -figured out that 10 10 is ahead after enemy only bets 4bb w/c is not a good bet size if enemy hits top pair or better // hero will bet any TP or OverPair or better on the flop, will also c-bet on draws
barrel on the turn - after enemy called the check raise, hero will put him on a draw and the 2 
did not complete any draw
river all-in - if enemy did have a J, the Q will be a scarecard and if enemy had Q it is hard for enemy to call the all in after hero showed initiative every street // the river bet was to let enemy fold with any better hand
88
The snowmen are good for opening from anywhere 6max.
On the flop we check hoping a bet by the opp. It works and we gladly c/r to swell the pot.
The d on the turn is a blank, so we happily continue.
On the river, the FD has missed, so we shove to get a call from worse hands.
OK. So we raise preflop and get a call from CO.
Flop comes J84 and we decide to check/raise. Our range is T9, QcTc, Kc9c, KcTc,AcTc, Ac9c,88, JJ,44- but i would most likely lean towards the drawy part of our range, since most of the time I would expect hero to just cbet his set. I wouldn't expect our hero to c/r his top pair or 2nd pair and turn them into bluff+ i would expect him to cbet the range that missed the flop completely.
On the turn we decide to barrel. Now a 2 is a complete blank so basically I would expect hero to barrel with either a good draw or a made hand, and hence we basically barrel with anything that we raise the flop with. When we get a call our opponent's most likely range is Jx, mb hero calling A8, and of course draws like FD+gutshot with some OC.
On the river we make a bet. In this moment our range is 44,88,JJ, T9, QcTc, Kc9c, KcTc,AcTc, Ac9c
I'm not sure our coach would be barerling on the river if he didn't have a made hand even though it's a good barreling card so I would take out everything that misses out of the range(well at least most of the time)- again an additional info would be helpful, since now i treat our opponent as a random.
That leaves us with 44,88,JJ,T9,QcTc and sometimes things like Kc9c,KcTc etc..
Now i've written this before that most of the time I'd expect our coach to just cbet his sets vs random and so my best guess would be either T9 or QcTc that hits its top pair and value bets vs. Jx
Since there is a ton of T9 guesses I will go with Q T
Q T
Hero check raises with FlushDraw + 1 Over Card and double barrel the turn with a lot of outs. On the river he makes a value bet with top pair, since we expect our opponent to call often because flush draws missed, which are a huge part of our perceived range.
Congratulations to besece, who got this week's hand correct! The answer was QT of clubs.
This was the last week for now. Hopefully everyone enjoyed
