AJs postflop play in 3bet pot

I think we can even 3bet this hand preflop vs CO, but definitelly don't need to. It's important that this is the top of our calling range in this situation (among the strongest hands that we are calling). BB doesn't look to aggressive, but should have alot of worse hands to squeeze with, because it's actually a very good spot to squeeze lightly since CO open range is wide and BTN's range is capped. He should have alot of suited aces, suited kings, KQs-TJs, KQo, maybe some smaller suited connectors etc. So I think the call is fine, and we have to be aware that our range is still capped (we usually don't have QQ+, AKo).

We can't fold TP OTF not just because we have a top pair, but also because he would very often bluff cbet A-high flops because they hit his range (also will very often have Ax, as mentioned). Turn call is also fine imo. He could still have some worse aces and flushdraws.

River is not a good card for betting imo, because we now split vs all Ax hands and he won't call anything worse + he could trap us with the flush (also he could bluff raise and we will have a hard time deciding what to do). If river was something like 2d, maybe we could think about small value bet, but it's probably not that neccessary. I would happilly check back most of the times.

This is BTN vs CO so I would be the one 3betting pre-flop As played I would call the squeeze.
OTT there are some draws possible, he could barrel some Kx hands or weaker Ax hands. I think you can call twice.
OTR I prefer to check behind. So overall this hand looks just fine but I would have 3bet AJs pre

Please do not post results.

Since this is CO vs. BU, and CO steals with a wide range, you can call or 3bet AJ. Oop, i would 3bet, ip i think it’s ok to play slower and to outplay villain postflop.

The flop is an invitation for bluffing, so you have to call every cbet.

The turn is a blank, so you have to call again.

OTR the flush arrives. If you bet, no weaker hands will call, since you split with every Ax. And no better hand will fold. So there is no sense in betting, and your cb is well played.
