BB: $210.10 (105.1 bb)
BTN: $581.57 (290.8 bb)
Hero (SB): $436.68 (218.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A A
BTN folds, Hero raises to $5, BB calls $3

Flop: ($10) 4 5 T (2 players)
Hero bets $8, BB raises to $26, Hero??

Villain: 34/26 (a lot of 3-5 handed play included in his stats)
28% fold BB to SB (29)

49/44(9) fold to cbet
18% (total, equally distributed IP/OOP) cbet raise flop
18 WTS
(700 hands)

This guy had raised a cbet against me on two occasions before. In hand one he c/r AK3dd, bet blank turn c/F blank river. In hand two he c/r KQs, with BDFD+overs, 976r and gave up on 5x Ax turn-river.

So questions:

1. Given his wide flopcbet raising range, do you prefer calling or 3betting? His frequencies for betting OTT after raising OTF seem very random. He does however raise light OTF, and will get to the turn with a wide range that he presumably bets occasionally and we have no idea if he raises light for value OTF. So wide turn range + no info on his bet/3betting range - calling > 3bettign?

2. Without much info. low sample, against reg, what are your default play OTF here when facing a raise?

3. AT(KT?) = AA OTF if we do decide to bet/3bet?

hi

1. how does he perceive you? Does he feel that you are ready to play back against him? Generally if someone is balanced and has a wide value range I would be more inclined to go for immediate value and not slowplay. Pretty similar to preflop in some sense. if someone has a fold to 4bet of 50%, i rarely slowplay AA/KK. Having blockers is much better for slowplay and that's probably how I would divide out my range. 50% of the time with A:h I would call and 50% of the time without I would 3bet. reason being that you cannot dominate A:hX:h.

2. That's really dependent on positions. In earlier positions I'm always flatting. SB vs BB I'm 3betting this by default. CO vs BU is closer though, but without dynamic I'm probably flatting and checkraising a blank turn

3. I don't think so. Villain may be having AT/KT himself (any good aggro lag should) so I think they all have different relative hand strength.
