Preflop: Hero is BTN with A Q
3 folds, Hero raises to $1, SB raises to $4, BB folds, Hero calls $3

Flop: ($8.50) 6 J 3 (2 players)
SB bets $5, Hero calls $5

Turn: ($18.50) 2 (2 players)
SB bets $11, Hero calls $11

River: ($40.50) K (2 players)
SB bets $57.65 and is all-in, Hero folds

This hand and overall spot bugs me, so I would appreciate very much some thorough feedback.

Villain Reg
I wanted to make a stand since he has 13 3B vs BU, 18 vs MY BU (49h)
He's 24/19 in 2k hands
Postflop in 3Bpot : 80% cB flop, 50% cb turn (8h), 100% cB riv (3h)

Given his stats vs me, I want to make a stand and I feel my hand is too strong to 4b bluff, to weak to 4b/call.

FloP: I think I am ahead of his range most of the time, and I can't rep anything w/ a raise so I'm floating.

Turn: blank - he barrels again, here I still think I am ahead a decent amount - he can bet to fold out underpairs to J and floats.

Riv: Although a good bluffcard for him, I feel I can't call w/ just A high! He can also be bluffing w/ better hands (eg low PP), could have hit a K etc.

I feel so lost in this hand, I feel so raped to call F, T w/ a hand I thought best, only to fold riv.

Where did I go wrong? Am I wrong in floating turn also (in spite of his stats and my reasons?)

And most importantly, how do you play vs this type of player who 3Bets a lot, and is aggro postflop also? What's your overall gameplan?

Feedback much appreciated

Well I play 10x lower limit than yours ^^ but fwiw I would be 4betting AQ here.

I'm assuming his stat of 3B you on BU would be (9/49). Either means he got a really good run of cards vs you or his 3B range is wide - I'd go with the latter.

Even vs a 10% range AQ would be 50/50 or slightly ahead. So Id be prepared to go 4B broke with him and expect it to be +EV.

If it was oop (SB vs BB) Id probably shove over 3B - as I feel uncomfortable playing AQ oop if he calls 4B.

Postflop I'd call once and fold to a T barrel (unless we spike an A/Q).
Calling T is bad imo. Can definitely wait for a better +EV spot.

Hi Mircea,

Weren't you playing 10nl before? Or is this for someone else?

As played you can add this to your 4-bet/call range if the dynamic is aggro or he is spewy.

But if you take it postflop isn't that a terrible turn to call on since it's such a blank and he most likely bets river as well (and has a stronger range)?

Hey Bogdan, long time no see!

I've taken the game more seriously the last few months and now I'm taking a NL100 shot :) u can take a look at my blog in sig if u want

Yeah the prob is I didn't have aggro dynamic going on so no 4b/c pre.

OTT: I am not folding since, I'm not used to regs 3barreling that much as a bluff at this limit, most of them fire only 2.
I would normally fold turn, but here I really wanted to take a stand somehow and his value range is quite narrow considering his 3b range.. Just wrong board for me to take a stand on I guess lol.
Bad part is I can't raise F/T either, the board is so dry I can't rep anything.

Someone said I should fold flop since he will barrel a lot and vs him main gameplan should be to hit a pair and let him barrel off. What do you think of this?

I think the sample you have doesn't really tell us he barrels that much that we can't call that flop with AQ. Plus if you hit a Q or A we know that he is very likely to bluff on it anyway.
