Rush AQ OOP 3-bet, second barrel bluff

Gotta say this is quite a bold line on NL5.

CO line is definitely pocket pair heavy. So if you Cbet flop you have to be prepared to shove turn because he will never fold a pocket pair OTF, which you did. In general I consider this to be a good line. The question is whether people on NL5 are able to fold pocket pairs on such a dry board often enough. The only ones we can realisticaly make fold are 77-99. And also what is the rest of his range? His preflop line might also suggest higher broadways like KQ, AJ which he fold but which we also beat. Also I wouldnt be surprised if he had JJ and QQ which never fold. UTG raised and people on micros are too passive in general so he can definitely have those. The more I think about it the more I am inclined to take a passive check/call line OTF to keep his worse air in his range and not pay his value range more than necessary.

Hand - A♠:Q♣: Undeniably good for a raise in a limped pot. You raised 8x I like the sizing because there are so many players in the pot and we want to minimize our opponent or better yet just win the pot right there without fight.

We succeeded on going heads-up on the flop but the important thing here is we have to be cautious because we are "Out of Position"

Flop: 6♥:5♣:6♦: bad flop we did not hit anything but it's a paired board so most likely we are still ahead if he doesn't have a pair.

pot on the flop $1.90. you decided to c-bet a little more than half pot. opponent called.
out of position I definitely agree with you c-betting in this kind of board. We did not hit anything I prefer down betting to around .60-.70 and analyze the reaction of your opponent.
a. if he quickly called
b. if he tank called

Turn: T♣: Once again we whiffed. Here, our chance of improving is not the nuts because we already losing to the set of 6. So I prefer check/fold because opponent showed strength by calling your big raise on the flop and good c-bet on the flop.

By Jamming you are representing AA KK and he will definitely fold all of his holdings except set of 6's or maybe AcTc top pair flush draw.

but if he have mediocre hand also I assume he will also check the turn and assess the river because you showed strength pre-flop and post-flop too.

In conclusion, we won't beat any hands that will call our jam and the hands that we beat might actually just check the turn and give you a chance to improve on the river.

Break a Leg

Yes it could include higher broadways. My issue with that though is, let's say a J hits on the river. What do I do now?
I also do not think that villain will actually bluff bet them, so we go for a c/c win or c/c c/f situation. Or if I hit and bet he folds then?

I am all for letting players continue with weaker ranges, but I got to be sure that I can extract value of that weaker range by letting them do that while at the same time not folding to their bluffs. I am not skilled enough to do this, I know if he bluffs me on the river and I don't hit I will fold.

Well in this case you can exploit one of the population tendencies at micros and that is that people are not willing to bluff for their whole stacks. And you can treat this situation as a way ahead/way behind. Meaning you either have him beat (vs his KQ, AJ) and he has little chance to improve against you. Or he has you beat and in that case there is small chance you will make him fold the hands that beat you. This in general is a good situation to play rather passive because by betting you make him fold hands that you beat anyway and you get called by better only.

In combination with that population read it gives a me a good situation for a check/call flop and then give up if unimproved. If you check and he bets it doesnt mean anything. Many players are capable of bluffing one street. But once they continue in their aggression you can make an exploitive fold, especially in 3bet pots. Of course if you hit Q or A you will have to play for your whole stack.
