PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 129.5 BB (VPIP: 20.25, PFR: 18.99, 3Bet Preflop: 7.69, Hands: 81)
BB: 196 BB (VPIP: 31.82, PFR: 22.73, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 45)
CO: 100 BB (VPIP: 13.22, PFR: 11.49, 3Bet Preflop: 10.67, Hands: 180)
Hero (BTN): 101.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♠ Q♦

CO raises to 3 BB, Hero calls 3 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (7.5 BB, 2 players) 4♥ 6♠ 9♣
CO checks, Hero bets 4 BB, CO calls 4 BB

Turn: (15.5 BB, 2 players) 3♣
CO checks, Hero bets 10.5 BB, CO calls 10.5 BB

River: (36.5 BB, 2 players) K♠
CO checks, Hero checks

I guess in 4-max I can 3-bet this hand, but I am with a nity player so decided to just flat (there is a fish on BB who I would like to be in this pot also).
Flop - he checks - that gives me info that he probably missed a board (usually broadway heavy) - I decided to bet and throw him away with his equity.
Turn - he might probably have called ATB with backdoor and pp like 77-88. When I 2nd barrel here - I will make him fold with a great part of his range - this hands would probably continue, if I bet:

Stół: 9♣6♠4♥ 3♣
       Equity  Wygrana  Podział
MP2    29.37%   27.27%    2.09% { AsQd }
MP3    70.63%   68.54%    2.09% { 88-77, AcKc, AcQc, KcQc, AcJc, KcJc, QcJc, JcTc }

River - assuming, he has now 12 combos of pp that beats me and that will fold to 3rd barrel, and 7 combos of FD (3 hit top pair) is it reasonable to bet OTR and with a huge amount of probability - win this pot? Am I right that betting OTR - I throw away 16/19 of his hands and only 3/19 call? More or less - it might be 3 combos more, 3 combos less... but generally it should be like ~80% of his range that fold.

This is always a value 3bet for me from these positions. Your hand doesn't play that well multiway and BB doesn't look fish to me when I look at his stats, did he do something stupid?
OTF when villain checks I guess you can exploit him and bet but betting turn when nothing changes is a bit too much.
As played you do not have much showdown value and villain probably has some pocket pairs so it might be decent option to 3 barrel here.

Yeah, I think 3 barreling is a good option there. K is a good river imo.

All decisions are close. Doesn't matter much. Use this to vary your play if you think you need to.

Nice position bet to try to take it away on the flop, low cards flop of course villain missed, you try it again on the turn, why not, on the river you are probably behind against villains pair, yeah you could make a better hand fold wiith a bet, why not, personally this guy seems smart enough to bluff catch you so you could even give up imo and good as played.

I do not feel like bluffing here.
When villain called flop he would call most of the time on this turn too...

Depends on the opponent. Most are utterly unbalanced, and checks mean they have a check-calling hand. But unbalanced isn't unequal to stupid, and they can't call down all the way with AX/A9s. It is an important part of poker that one should call just to see if villain fires another barrel. Decent villains will do that - or they'd be too predictable. Nothing wrong with two or three barrels at all.

After you've taken this line, go ahead and bomb the river. You still have some FE vs. stuff like 99 OTR.

99 set will not fold.

He'll fold 99. It should be obvious that we have KK.

I wouldn't bet the turn to begin with.

If he has 99 and didn't raise OTF or OTT I think he is a bit fishy and will call a shove OTR with a set.

1. 3b pre.

2. As played I would bet river too.

3. I would just start with a check on the flop, we can catch pair for free that should be best hand often and there is basically no overs that we want to fold with a bet. Sometimes we can get to showdown with the hand for free against worse Ax and expect to win sometimes.

Id be more likely to barrel hand like JTs here vs check than Any A highs.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't realize 99 was a set lol. Obviously I meant 77/88/TT type of hands.
