Replay this hand on Upswing Poker

Villain unknown
Preflop standard
otf standard call
ott and otr i think with AQ+ he never checks when FD opened, so I guess Im up against JJ-KK. My range is full of Aces so I think I can make him fold with 2 street agression.

UTG: $3.87 (194 bb)
MP (Hero): $3.41 (171 bb)
CO: $5.50 (275 bb)
BU: $2.00 (100 bb)
SB: $2.01 (101 bb)
BB: $0.37 (19 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is MP with T T
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.06, 2 players fold, SB 3-bets to $0.16, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.34) 4 6 3 (2 players)
SB bets $0.22, Hero calls $0.22

Turn: ($0.78) A (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.38, SB calls $0.38

River: ($1.54) 4 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2.65 (all-in), SB folds

I'm not sure if I'm really liking the idea of just turning our showdown value into a bluff because he might not have an A. This is NL2 so you really can't totally exclude any hands from him. One quite popular move for many players is to check the turn when they hit hard. So this could be risky. Sometimes it might work but what about the times when villain slowplays and you lose your whole stack? How many times you must successfully bluff villain out before it covers the losses from one time you lost 50-75bb with this kind of bluff.

I have experienced this too. However, I like the moves. You can rep an ace in this spot indeed. Your range should be mostly flats preflop vs the SB 3bet. He has some aces too, but with this line the weaker aces should fold often.
As you know you don't need to get involved in this spots at NL2 to win large. I try to avoid this often. But once in a while pulling off a strong bluff feels so good :sfishy:

I dont like this. Trying to fold out JJ-KK is not a good idea. TT just wants to ge to sd a beat villains 99. With weaker pp it would be much better but wouldnt recommend it either.

I don't know which hands that beat you are you trying to get to fold with your shove? People like to call down with JJ-KK in micros a lot...
I would just check behind.
