Utg is a fish button is a reg. No samplesize from villains, (just know bu by his nick) and utg plays by phone.

Preflop I think cold4b bluffing is okay, we may get called by worse and AQ has a pretty good playability. Cold calling the 3bet is probably too loose OOP.

Flop I don't think there's value to bet flop and ship turn and betting flop check folding turn also doesn't make sense with our hand imo. By checking we allow our opponent's to bet with something random, anyhow once the reg bet's relatively big I'm not sure whether it's a call or fold. Turn we are allmost never in good shape against his range I guess, so folded the turn.

I like the preflop and flop play.

On the turn i suppose u mostly have kq and aq here. If villaon is playing AQ like that too, then AQ>KQ. If his range is mostly 2p+ and some low PPs being turned into blufffs, then KQ would be better for bluffcatching

Im inclined to think that u should call w the flushdraw and fold without it. But that would mean that u may be folding way too often.

Its a little hard to say for sure abt villains exploitive tendencies so i would just look at my own range here.
Against a halfpot bet juz def top 67% of ur range

Why does it matter in this hand if hero folds too much on turn? Are you afraid that BU will exploit hero with bluffs with fish in the hand?
I think that BU crashes this board with his range, and doesnt have so many bluffs in range, but has many value hands.

I think we should fold exploitative amount on turn, because BUs range is much stronger, and not many bluffs. Internet explained it in his video Misapplying minimum fold equity

I agree with that, we should defend if it makes sense to defend our hand on that texture, not because of any sort of frequencies that don't concern the other players. We have strong enough hands on this texture and enough combos as well.
Especially since it's 3-way we can fold a larger part of our bottom range anyway.

The only question is whether we should play our big hands the same way and check the turn to induce something or if we rather not give away free cards.
