Hi Everyone!

Is this good play for me or oppentet? I think, just call turn bet, but i commited the pot and i think he will go some of Ax combo, what i hit and dominant. My opponent stats, just 105 hands: VPIP 31, PFR 17, 3bet 6.3, 3bet call 83%., won sd 33%. So he 3bet range about AJs+, AQo+, 99++

Poker Stars, $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 8 Players

Hero (SB): $5 (100 bb)
BB: $5 (100 bb)
UTG+2: $5.92 (118.4 bb)
MP1: $9.35 (187 bb)
MP2: $8.64 (172.8 bb)
MP3: $4.11 (82.2 bb)
CO: $5.20 (104 bb)
BTN: $5 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A♣: K♥:
UTG+2 raises to $0.15, 5 folds, Hero raises to $0.59, BB folds, UTG+2 calls $0.44

Flop: ($1.23) J♣: A♠: A♦: (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+2 bets $1, Hero calls $1

Turn: ($3.23) 3♥: (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+2 bets $2, Hero raises to $3.41 and is all-in, UTG+2 calls $1.41

River: ($10.05) 5♣: (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results:

Spoiler

$10.05 pot ($0.42 rake)
Final Board: J♣: A♠: A♦: 3♥: 5♣:
Hero showed A♣: K♥: and lost (-$5 net)
UTG+2 showed J♦: A♥: and won $9.63 ($4.63 net)

I think his call pre is a little loose as I don't think he has enough equity with AJo versus your 3-bet range. Which is good for you in the long run.

Post flop I think everything is standard. On the flop he has the nuts and you have the 3rd nuts, so the money is going in regardless.

Other than occasionally mixing in some range betting on the flop (say 1/3 pot or even 1/4 pot) sometimes for balance, this looks fine.

With the turn raise we represent Ax,JJ. I would just call and let him bet again.

Yes, but the river comes blank lap he maybe fold. And i would like maximum value for AO, A10 hands.

I would bet flop 100% of the time to a small size.
Why? When you check/call a board like this you make it super obvious that you have a made hand and he should shut down past one bet really with bluffs

You also let all underpairs, jx and everything else just check back and then when you panick bet turn you suddenly rep zero bluffs as those should just bet flop to take it down.

So bet small, put pocket pairs Kq, and weaker hands under pressure, induce spazzes, represent weaker hands yourself. You will lose your stack vs Aj anyways, but you will get value from a lot more hands

Thank you very much. Next time i will play this 3bet pot, small bet post flop and what the good move in turn if the opponent just call the flop bet? Turn again bet 1/2 pot or smaller? And if he raise my small bet post flop i just call or 3bet? I think just call and turn maybe raise?
When i open raised pre flop and post flop i have got monster hand 1-2 nuts better, play similar? The small bet flop, especially in mw pot. Sometimes i play with this but always folded.
