Dealt to Hero 8♠ 8♥

fold, fold, Hero raises to $3, fold, SB raises to $9, fold, Hero calls $6

FLOP ($19) A♦ 6♥ 9♥

SB bets $10, Hero calls $10

TURN ($39) A♦ 6♥ 9♥ 7♥

SB bets $20, Hero?

villain; 24/22 - 140 hands, 20% 3bet

OK to defend 88 here against an aggressive 3bettor (so far he had restealed 1/9 times in SB, 2/5 BB)? Without any reads on how reacts to 4bets, how would you construct your 4bet and calling ranges here preflop?

Now it gets to the flop, and I call since I expect most villains to cbet this board close to 100%, and I do also have some BDdraws. OK call?

He goes on and fires again on the turn and I pick up some additional equity with the open ender, and the one card FD (might ofc not always be good in this spot).

But can I still call here? I don't recall being involved in any pot against this guy earlier postflop, but I am pretty sure my stats looks very aggressive as usual (if that would matter). But to make a call profitable he must basically be pure bluffing here, or maybe doing a thin 2nd barrel with a one card FD (that there are not too many of in the first place anyway).

So turn is a muck?

Preflop is fine, U almost have odds to setmine, it's insta call.
I'd fold flop most likely. It's close if he 3bets 20% from sb. He probably has all suited aces and many offsuit in his range. After calling flop, we definitely have to call that turn and go from there. On blank river we should fold most likely, don't expect him to bluff very often coz our hand looks like flush or Ax. If he checks the river, we can check behind and hope to win, but I think turning it into a bluff and jamming is better option. I can't see him calling with any hand. If :heart: comes on the river and he jams we have to fold IMO. He can have total air here only if he had air on the turn, don't expect him to bet turn with no equity.

P.S. his sizing looks weird, especially on turn. Looks like he wants us to call and he doesn't care about river(nuts) or he wants to see river as cheap as possible (something like K :heart:Q :diamond:).

My 4bet and callingranges depend on wether he 3bets polarized or not, and how loose he actually 3bets in a certain spot.
F.e. here he only 3bet once out of 9 times in the SB, so I'd not get out of line too much.
Probably even smth like AQ is still a fold given we opened in the CO.

Postflop I'm simply folding the flop due to his strong range and our miserable playability.
An alternative is to float and bet the turn if he checks.

As played on the turn there's not much you can do but call imo - a raise doesn't make much sense unless you think he would actually fold Ax (unlikely imo).

edit:

I agree, his sizing is kind of weird, but in 3bet pots a lot of people have their standard betsizing of 1/2-1/2-1/2 so I wouldn't read too much into it.
