Funky 6BB raise of UTG player :f_confused:
I’m most likely 3 bet shoving here pre-flop against him instead of calling, but depend on reads of opponent.
As played I like to check-raise on flop, because your opponent will most likely continue to bet and than you can go all-inn most likely.
Turn is nasty, because most fishy players’ min-raising like that with a monster hand. Most likely is folding better here than stacking off, but I’m doing most likely the same as you in game :f_biggrin:

Don't post results, either in a spoiler or the thread title ;) You'll just get worse responses.

I like the flat pre. 6x pre is insane, we should proceed cautiously.

That said, once we flop top two there's no getting away from it. I also prefer check/raise to lead, given his sizing pre and the scary nature of this flop.

As player I call or gii ott, still can't get away even vs. his scary click it back raise imho

as played just a cooler imo cause we block AA and KK and we have top 2 we are often up vs a worse or equal ace or JJ/QQ. so for me that turn looks somewhat scary since JJ is def a big junk of his range, as does QQ we discard with our holdings some AJ AQ comboswhich we def would like to keep in the hand,

betting the flop is not that bad since we hold top 2 and there are some draws out we dont want to fgive any free cards to.
after he flats the flop which kinda does only make sense with strong hands or 1p fd combo or QJcc QTcc JTcc. i would range him on TT+ (sometimes) and AQ AJ KQredraws amd those combo draws and sometimes obv he has KK AA but thats fairly unlikely cause we block both.

i think it is just a coolerhere

since he been the aggressor pre i try to let him bet turn if hes aggro or bet if hes a station type guy.
depending on villain i proceed on the river as well. dont think i fold here ever.

6bb preflop is huge . i think you used to raise huge bb when you hold strong hand and villan trap you
in this case you have 37 bb if you raise 3 bb preflop villan 3bet you call and still 27bb in stack flop a k 5 the same result.
