50 hands from villain plays 30/25 3b 13%. So loose agressive. Pre I guess flatting is okay. Not sure if 4betting is preferred cause he folds his equity and may call worse?

Flop is a spot I'm struggling with. Our hand is not strong enough to bluffcatch twice and it's pretty much 50/50 whether villain bet's his bluffs once or twice here. So I decided to float once and give up. Anyhow I have a feeling I just give money away. His sizing is also big but I think most ppl. just bet their bluffs once w. this big sizing espc. regs. to get max folds and then they think my range is strong and give up turn. Fishes tend to bet for value big and bluff usually smaller. Player dependent but I think it's mostly so.

Hi tukioppilas62

Preflop: being OOp 4-betting does make your hand easier to play but then you have to stack off vs a somewhat unknown. And since you said that you are running bad this will add to your short term variance and may cause further tilt.

Postflop: As played I feel that your options are indeed limited given board and hand. He can value own us really well and it's hard for us to win much calling just flop. So giving up there with this hand (and calling hands like AK, AQ with backdoors, pairs) would be fine.

I would 4bet/fold in this spot, is this a mistake?

In aggressive decks/dynamics I feel that 4-bet/folding with AQo BTN vs CO is a bit of a waste since our hand is too strong.

I am not sure If you are refering to the flop or turn. As for the flop we have overs + backSD, is this enough reason to flat flop? How do you plan haed on a J/K turn?

You can always raise a J or K.

But yes, I was referring to flop, and no, we don't have the backdoor flush. Backdoor straight is ok but not nearly as good.

Ok so raising a J or K leaves me confused because villain would have to be double barreling which is a good amount of the time Tp+ right...?

What "kind of villain" would be required to be able to flat AQo PF and then float wide flop with something as weak as overes + backStraightDraw?
