AQ bluffing in 3bet pot

mmm not too keen on this one. The guys stats 58/16 make him seem aggressive but he isn't, notice how he;s actually raising less hands than you (by about 25%) so when he opens to 4x UTG over just limping then it usually means he has a GOOD hand (he has way less air as well because hands we'd consider "air" like 78o etc he'll likely limp)

So with this in mind I really don't like the 3bet vs a 4x open (which might even be stnd as I think it is in a lot of 6m NL games online) think flatting is the best option here.

As played, this is a board where this type of player is going to call down a ton. The king is a god card to barrel generally but vs people like this player it's actually bad as I am pretty sure he'll have thought that you won't vb QQ-TT OTR so you have AK KK AA only and bluffing the rest, vs someone who prolly looks for excuses to call in most spots.

Also he himself CAN have AK which is another bad thing for the play.

Hey,
so as played you suggest cbet/give up on later streets line?
If we were against more advanced player you still wouldn't like barreling because of my polarized range?
Thx:)
P.S FWIW he had Tc6c:D

No, no I dont think you ARE polarised, or at least you defo shouldnt be here, but I think this type of player will think the card should stop you V-betting a lot of hands and therefore increases the chances you are bluffing (this is a common thought process amoungst weaker players imo)

I would give up here yh. Vs good players DEFO barrel the turn here

I like it tbh, think he folds 99-qq on the river and when we go two streets we should probably go three as he will know that you know that the K is a good barrel card, I think I'd prefer to barrel this run out vs bad players than good ones as well.
