Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 80.5 BB (VPIP: 57.69, PFR: 3.85, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 26)
Hero (MP): 141.5 BB
CO: 69 BB (VPIP: 17.14, PFR: 11.43, 3Bet Preflop: 5.00, Hands: 73)
BTN: 50 BB (VPIP: 21.14, PFR: 19.54, 3Bet Preflop: 5.53, Hands: 895)
SB: 99 BB (VPIP: 17.74, PFR: 7.42, 3Bet Preflop: 1.89, Hands: 9,940)
BB: 123.5 BB (VPIP: 16.52, PFR: 13.91, 3Bet Preflop: 5.54, Hands: 1,142)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♣ J♣

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, BB raises to 9.5 BB, Hero calls 6.5 BB

Flop: (19.5 BB, 2 players) 2♦ K♠ 9♣
BB bets 14 BB, Hero calls 14 BB

Turn: (47.5 BB, 2 players) 5♥
BB bets 34 BB, Hero calls 34 BB

River: (115.5 BB, 2 players) 5♠
BB checks, Hero checks

Called to barrels and planned to fold on river if villains shot a third bullet. The sizing of the bets were huge so despite equilab gives me 67% OTF against 6% of his range I felt somehow lost.

You open from MP so when BB (out of position) 3bets you, he should do it with a tight range.
KJs is way too wide defend for me. So I would fold pre.
As played, I'm not sure how to defend that range. Basically I think you could fold OTT because the board is very dry and villain has better Kx and AA in his range, but I guess that would be exploitable.

No way you fold it pre-flop, despite him being tight

I checked my chart again and I misread it the first time. If hero would be OOP I would fold but now that hero is IP I would 4bet bluff. But I think this hand is not good as a call.

I prefer the 4b bluff preflop.
Posrflop is fine.

Against such a tight player I could fold more comfortably because a 5% 3bet range is still pretty tight. I am not sure if you have notes where you saw hands of this person because it looks to me that villain is mostly value raising. In this case, KJs is not a great calling hand because you are mostly behind in equity.

In a 5% 3b range nearly half of it is filled with bluffs...

Most of those bluffs might be when he defends his blinds. From these positions he should 3bet tight. Also if he happens to use merged range we are screwed.

This is what I thought. Additionally I wouldn't take another barrel the plan was to xb river. 5% is good to call OTR I have 63% equity against TT+, AQ+ if he is double barreling. Bet sizes are high but I can see VI double barreling QQ,JJ.

We have 32% equity which is the borderline call on this situation (pot odds 14/6.5=2.15:1 <-> 31.7% Equity.
We can borderline remove AJo because of the 5% and we block some combos of AJs.

You are deep enough to call preflop with position. Sure, he might have AK, but with that, he'll have to check at some point, giving free cards (or allow you to bluff). This is much different from OOP. I'd call with most small pairs and suited connectors (these hands are actually somewhat better than KJs in this spot).

i agree with 4bet bluff
as played i would fold OTT because like la55i said the board is dry and i don't many bluff in his range
but if you have information he's is very aggressive in 3bet pots and he's capable to do two barrels with TT+, AQ+ i think your plan is good
