1. Is the fold correct?
I folded cause there isn't much I think he can have that I beat. His low 3-bet% suggests he can have TT,AQ,KJ,AT,QT at the very least. I just don't see many bluffs or draws and he didn't seen aggro enough to raise gutshots there.

2. If you are in the villians place, what do you raise here and does your raising range have any bluffs? If there are no bluffs in your range, should you even raise to begin with?

Hi maheepsangari

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: Given the information you have on the player and the positions I think that folding here is indeed correct (and your cbet was big so he has no reason to think you are bluffing).

Since I have 0 info on you (I don't really know how you play) and you bet big on a wet board i would not bluff vs you. And yes, I can raise without bluffs in my range because you don't know I don't have bluffs and your average 10nl player will call wide here despite not being correct most of the time.

Lets assume its not NL 10 they are bad etc.

I mean I didn't even think of this while playing but now while analyzing I asked myself that if I was playing against an optimal player should I even raise that hand? Would you against an optimal player? Just a hypothetical situation, trying to understand the correct play here.

I'm not sure I understand your question here.

What's an optimal player? A player we have history with? A player that knows how we play and plays well in response?
