SB: $51.11 (102.2 bb)
BB: $101.91 (203.8 bb)
MP: $59.12 (118.2 bb)
Hero (CO): $157.14 (314.3 bb)
BTN: $72.61 (145.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 7♦ A♦ T♣ K♣
MP folds, Hero raises to $1.75, BTN raises to $6, 2 folds, Hero raises to $18.75, BTN calls $12.75

Flop: ($38.25) 4♦ 6♦ 5♦ (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

Turn: ($38.25) T♥ (2 players)
Hero bets $36.34, BTN calls $36.34

River: ($110.93) 5♥ (2 players)
Hero bets $102.05 and is all-in, BTN calls $17.52 and is all-in

Background:
Villain is a very aggressive 'reg' who loves to 3b wide in position.
32/28, 172 hands. 3b 19.4% (15.8% from BU). A few hands earlier he 3b me in same positions with A♦:Q♦:9♥:3♥: I called with KK. He bet the nutflush draw on the flop when checked to and after I called, checked down unimproved.

1. How is our hand choice for a 4b against such a player?
2. Flop is genuinely difficult for me. We have the nuts but I feel that our range often hates this board and so a committing cbet basically tells our opponent we have at least the nfblocker if not a big flush. Is it reasonable of me to check such a hand? If checking is too suspicious, what amount should we bet? What should we bet with nf blocker? Let's say I have the same hand in :heart: and :spade: - Should we cbet here and if so, how much?
3. When he checks back flop I'm not sure what we should do on the turn. Clearly we need to bet, but again, looking at it, potting doesn't seem optimal to me.

Thoughts?
Thanks

I can only think that with you both being deep that calling the 3b would be better. Just because if he 5bets then he has AAxx %99.99 of the time and you are crushed. I guess if he is aggressive enough then checking flop to let him decide if he wants to make a move is a good idea. But I will wait and see what others with more experience have to say :f_drink:

ur line looks extremely strong honestly. idk what he had but i would fold a lot unless i got a decent flush here. ur pot size turn bet looks like damn trapping flop didnt work now i have to catch the missed value on the turn. why no bet flop 1/4 or 1/3. you might induce him to make a play or if he just calls u can see turn and then decide again. by betting flop smallish ull get it in on later streets no mater what. to me small flop bet and check turn looks super weak. i think most ppl will go for it unless they have decent showdown value like a straight here or maybe two pair. and even if he checks back turn u can still shove river since he will have like 80% pot size left. and checking turn and then potting river looks way weaker to him than checking flop and potting turn.

Good hand pre, I dont mind 4bet against aggro opponent. You will hit often with this ds high card hand, and are in good spot when he flops dominated draws.

This board I would go with small bets, no need to check as this board is quite low and therefore misses him often, while you will have high flushes. Even less than 10d can be ok.

Why are you potting turn You give yourself tremendously bad price to bluff ever with this sizing, he can fold a lot. Just bet normal sizing, you'll get the money in easily anyway and can also bluff profitably when you dont have it.

When you check the flop that is suspicious. How often would you check-fold there? Go for 1/3 bet with your whole range. If he calls, you can bet big on the turn as you then rep nuts or blocker.
