So i decided to raise here from the button with a dry ace according to the bronze chart and called the 3bet. I'm guessing with any hand he will bet that flop so i raise to see where i am. The turn check seemed like a very strange play so i bet more or less to get information thinking he might be on a medium to high pocket pair. Same play on the river. Is this correct?

It's fine to bet the turn and river if he checks to you.
But I wouldn't raise this flop in first place. He 3-bet you preflop so A-high and pocketpairs are his main range. Nearly all A-high have now a better hand than you have so you lose again these hand.
The A and K on the board scares any pocketpair (just think about you having 88 in this situation) so he might fold them.

All in all he will 3-bet his better hands and probably fold the worse ones. So you only lose by playing aggressive here.
The best you can do here is to do a simple calldown and bet if he checks to you. (This the big advantage of being in position as you will get in one bet on every street for sure.)


The BB 3bets us preflop so i would have played this hand wa/wb. Even in my SH games i play this hand wa/wb so i guess in FR games we have even more reasons to play it wa/wb right?

As i know players with that kind of stats. They 3-bet with narrow handrange. Part of it you are behind (pocketpair), part dominates your hand. So you should be careful on postflop play

If i look at whole hand. Looks like your opponent is this type of player that he thinks you always hit your card. This time K, but dont want to let go his hand (very real Ax after his Flop raise). So by betting you will loose money on last two streets. But this is just first impression by looking stats.

But i very like wa/wb play as ideal.


So you too agree with my first post? I'm asking because my explaination might be a bit weird. :)
