[Closed] 19.5K GTD final table AQ

my 2c about betsizing here:

if he's a strong player his large betsize can be purely to induce you to make a move and to allow him to take a bet flop check turn shove river line (where he expects you to shove turn quite often w/ the ~1 psb you have behind).

anyway, i like your whole line as played, aqo is far too strong to turn into a bluff with these dynamics yet isn't strong enough to 4b/get it in with

if you were opened MP+ I´d shove and I think I either take pot down very often since he is 3-bet bluffing or if getting called then also doing fine a lot of times.
Since you raised utg and he is oop I think he need to have very strong hand to 3-bet you, so I´d just fold it pf. if you hit your A you always getting stacked by AK and not sure how happy are you seeing also Q. Anyway wait better spot when you´re not going against likely top 5%

I prefer to raise preflop to 2,3BB ... I have enough FE with it
some player make crasy moves again a minraise ... so I raise a bit more
27000 is my raise in this spot

after his min3bet u can play ur line
or u can 4bet/fold ur hand
depends on player and on image

I prefer to raise on 105000 and fold to a shove (if he is a fish or nit player)
against loose player its better to call preflop

on this flop u should fold ... no PP will fold and some players also broke with AK

TY for the replies, guys!

His small 3bet and then relatively big cbet confused me for a bit there...I guess he wanted me to make 4bet bluff with these stack sizes and then hoped i will spew on the flop.

@Kaitz20

I don't think my open there is a sign for a big hand even sometimes the opposite. If he looks at my UTG raises he will see i open often there and he may try to do something more creative. He prob knows his small 3bet will look strong there. So Imo his 3bet there even can be looser than usual and he won't be able to 3bet me when he is IP cause he is only IP vs me when i open UTG.

@Larseda

About the raise sizing, i have been doing it since we were 100 people or so...and actually it work pretty well since it doesn't widen good players range vs me but the bad ones OOP. I was thinking about 4bet but i assumed he won't tighten so much vs my 4bet anyway and i will have very good odds too. So it can get very tricky pre.
