Hey! Villain: 47/19/6.3 fish quite agressive wtsd 38% w$sd 46% but only 94 hands.

What do you think of this line? Or it's just better to cbet flop and turn? Which line would you pick here?

I think his range is extremely polarized; something like QJ, flush or nothing, so finally I herocalled, but I think there might be a better solution.

Hi,

Unless you´re willing to call him down 3 streets and decide to go always on showdown (unless maybe 4 hearts come) I think c-bet makes your hand a lot easier to play.

With AK you don´t have to barrel turn and can also consider c/c, also you likely don´t get valuedown that often with better hands.

As played I would also call him down- he should not bet river with J, so it is either Qx+ or air

best regards,

Ok, thanks! So basically cbet flop and c/c turn. What do we do on this river and on a blank river?

His f2cbet stat was 60%, if it gives any help.

My main dilemma here, that there are people, who fold often to cbets, but they also like to bluff. So this case I almost always make them fold their air type hands, since they fold too much to cbets, which means that they are not likely to float us. That's why sometimes I just c/c multiple streets to let them bluff, but of course sometimes they either have something or get lucky on later streets. So I'm also curious in general, what's the best in your opinion. Of course cbetting makes the hand easier to play, but we might have to sacrifice some value for this convenience.

On Qh I would likely c/f, since I don´t think he would float flop, bet turn and bet river as air too often. On blank river I may consider calling him down, but it depends on his bet sizing (most valuebets are around half the pot)

Hi all,

I agree with all of Kaitz20's answers :).

BTW, vs an aggressive reg you should just cbet the flop.
