Calling isn't bad but we're not too deep to shove is the imortant thing. I might flat v a REALLY tight guy in the view that there's players behind yet to act but if I was closing action or in later position I'd probably fold. So shove against anyone looser than say 11/8

I like cold calling and your plan to call if somebody behind shoves. You're both big stacks so when you shove he will only fold some of his better hands and he pretty much never calls with worse hands that deep (AQ,AJ, KQ).


Cold calling is by far my preferred option too. Keep all worse hands in his range and play position.

On the flop I like to bet since he is mostly giving up. Sure if he check/folds we probably had the best hand, but why let him draw out with his QJ or whatever.

+1..

I like the check behind flop.. It has some draws and I'm not really sure what to think of his check.. I just don't see players check/folding this flop often enough to justify a bet here.. dno maybe a leak I have.. I'll let the other judges take a look on this..

however when he checks again on the turn he has shown a lot of weakness and we can bet out here profitably. around 1/2 pot is probably enough..

as played on the river check behind is fine.. We are not really getting value out of anything worse and I think we are never getting him to fold any pair here...


pre-flop is good, no need to 3bet without reads.

i think you need to either bet the flop or turn for value. not much difference between betting one or the other. river as played you can definitely go for thin value against AQ/AJ imo bet like 1/4 pot. so you definitely missed a bet on one of these streets.
