$31.50 pot ($1.42 rake)
Final Board: 7 A 5 K K
Hero showed Q A and won $30.08 ($14.83 net)
MP mucked 2 2 and lost (-$15.25 net)

MP seems solid despite stats. We've seen him winning with TP and two pair, but seems quite aggressive.
BTN is reg, nothing special about his play, he seems winning player.

I think calling is not good so despite low ft3b from opp I think the best thing is to squeeze.

Flop comes good but I don't think I can get value from worse, so my line vs him is xc.

T is kind of ugly. He seems a bit aggro but he did call squeeze and bets the size to commit me. My plan was to xc and xc R if he shoves. Is it better then to just xr here?

R is the ugliest card from the deck. Can we call here?

I know it's not the best line to take but on the F I wasn't able to extract value from PP so I xc. While on this R we're beat even by Kx hands + flushes.

I'm not sure how to play this kind of hand in the future.

Hi yaxkukmian

Preflop: looks fine. Since he folds little to 3-bet that means you have a value 3-bet here, plain and simple :) Of course the sample size is too small anyway.

Postflop: How come you can't expect value from PPs on a Axx board in a 3-bet pot?

Do you think JJ will just fold the flop? Or weaker Ax?

As played your calls are fine, we ain't folding this hand.

So we're betting sth less than 1/2 pot? I don't know though... I agree he calls me once but even if I check T he probably won't call R unless I bet sth small ~1/3 pot?

Is this the optimal play OOP? Not so much of value.
