Very lucky (part 1)

What’s the reason why you check the flop here? I would normal always Cbet to protect my hand and get value here. As played I would most likely shove right away, because if you are raising like now you can’t fold either and your line looks extreme strong now.

I agree with cbetting the flop. As played, it's questionable for me do we have a value raise. I feel like the hand is overplayed a bit. Yes, he could have some flushdraws, but really not that often imo.

Betting flop and stacking off is the standart play, but I dont mind your play either if you have some reads that hes betting often with most of his range when checked to. And you are going to stackoff anyway. But like SDK said, just shove when you check raise

Are you completely sure that we have a profitable stack off OTF? My play here would be to cbet/fold, but one of my leaks is giving up too much postflop, so I'm not sure what would be an optimal.

Is the fact that he could have some flushdraws there enough for us to stack off?

He pot-raised from the button. Thats not what most regs do. But it is something that weak players or players on tilt do. He can easily stackoff with KQ and QJ there too We are behind only sets since there isnt really any 2pairs.. Ofcourse we are not fistbumping with just a pair but I think its a cooler spot either way.

Do you think villain doesn't have KK and AA in his range here?

No, he may have opened them big but slowplayed them vs 3b. In fact he did but thats just being results oriented. If I didnt know the resilt I would have taken an even bet against him having KK+ for sure

I would cbet here and I'm not sure if we can stack off with our hand.

I wouldn´t play it c/r, we should keep it simple at microstakes. Cbet OTF. As played we have to call his shove.

Easy cbet. You don't really want to go broke here, because by check-raising you isolate yourself against better hands. No Qx would pay you off, and draws also have a SUPER HARD TIME calling your big raise. Vs. hard non-believers playing a very wide range in the BUTTON, this play might be alright

Your check is interesting. It looks like a tricky play to induce a bluff. Question is, are you ahead? Because if you are not than you have to cbet to bluff and generate folds.
You are playing the hand the other way around.
