TPTK IP vs a river XR from the PFR

Hi Gabinr1

Preflop: this could be a 3-bet for value BvB

Postflop: How often do you see ck/shoves as a bluff in the games that you play?

We have no info so his line is definitely polarizing. Given we bet really big on the river I'd be more inclined to believe his shove and fold our hand however, if we fold this hand, what are we left with that can call? (in our range).

This is exactly what I was thinking when playing the hand.

I ended up folding because I don't think there are many people that would use a XR there as a bluff so much that is profitable for me to call. So it was an exploitation fold. (But I am not sure about this)

The last part of the quote was on my mind, that's why I took almost all my timebank to reach a decision.

- AQ is up there with the AJ and KJ in the top of my betting range.
LE: Actually I think I may not have AJ or KJ in my range as on this flop I might just raise them instead of calling. So AQ might just be the top of my range.

Should I have checked behind?

You should definitely have some Jx in our range there (even QJ is possible sometimes although we'd probably raise at least some of them).

The thing is that if we don't see ourselves winning much we don't really need a wide calling range, so we can fold Qx here.
