3 bet AQs OOP - against loose villain

I don't like the bet OTT.

Do you think K♦:Q♦: calls OTT?
Do you think K♦:Q♦: would bet OTT, if you had checked?
What about A♠:9♠:?

It gets really hard for weaker hands to call you OTT. After his raise OTF there are probably not that many left to begin with.

My intention with the bet on turn was for him to have a tougher decision / force fold / call on a draw, while I still had equity to nut flush on the river if he had A8.
He would also have called the all-in with any A9-AT-AJ-AQ (I imagined he would 4bet pre flop with AK).

So I wouldn't consider A2. It would be okay if he had 22.
4♦:5♦: also got an extra 4 outs with turn. Other crazy stuff like 8♦:9♦: had to be put on massive pressure, that's why I didn't check turn.

- Would betting less change a thing?
- Check flop or check turn wouldn't be weaker / give him an unwanted free card?

If he limped and I were the raiser for 4bb PF, this would be a controlled small/medium pot, but as I 3betted a 40+ VPIP guy I went for the non-stop aggression.

First of all

As played - fold flop after his x/r (better was x/back flop and play tern-river: we have good hand, he have only few combos of FD - typical WAWB game)

as I 3betted a 40+ VPIP guy I went for the non-stop aggression.

but:

UTG: 100.5 BB (VPIP: 42.86, PFR: 23.81, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 22)

1. PFR 24 - its OK.

2. 22 hands - not sufficient to analyze his range, especially in 3-bet pots...

He would also have called the all-in with any A9-AT-AJ-AQ

Why do you think so? After analyzing 22 hands he played? And would he x/raise flop with A9?

I imagined he would 4bet pre flop with AK

Once again - why?
As I see - 3Bet Preflop: 0.00

We don't know his range because we don't have any information. We don't know what hands he open UTG, what hands are in the calling range after 3-bet and so on.. So his call and x/raise looks like doppers, 22, 88 and some combos of AKo (for example, I have some in the calling range and 4-beting also). But what flushdraws after calling 3-bet UTG OOP? I don't believe that he would call 3-bet OOP with 45s. 89s raise that Axx board? Doubt!

Agaist uknown it's a call preflop or small 3-bet (2.2-2.4x), check-back flop, check-call or bet turn-river...

I'm not using HUD or doing data analyses while playing, I'm playing few tables watching whats going on.

You sit in a table, and see a guy enter HALF of ALL the pots for FOUR orbits in a row, calling raises preflop IP and OPP, raising some of his own.
No-one 3betted in that table, people were happily entering pots with flat calls.

He was in position, I 3betted from the SB.
First I consider in a general way "which cards people could 4bet me" at least - include AK-AA-KK-QQ.
He would have called in position with many Ax, As, all PP, some suited connectors, all the stuff he wouldn't 4bet.

- Isn't very bad to call preflop and be OOP ? I 3betted 3x as I was out of position.
- So you 3 bet, check to give him the decision of a free card on flop, comes a and the pot is busted.

If I were in position and he check-raised me on the flop, I would have fold indeed.

Sorry, I've missed it.

If he looks like maniac, so why did you call his raise OTF? Just push all-in!

Usually - yes... But, there is a little exploiting scenario.. If we play with a fish (agrofish) HU (as only BB have to do smthg after us) and we know that he will overplay many TP any K or draw - we can call higher broadway and suited connectors:
1. Price is better, when we on the SB or BB
2. Sometimes BB will call also (we gave him good pot odds after calling on SB), so again - we did a good preflop pot for low price
3. If we hit our hand - fish will pay out all our previous hands that we had to fold (implied odds).

So you 3 bet, check to give him the decision of a free card on flop, comes a and the pot is busted.

1. will come only in 20 %! In 80 % you stand better on all other cards!
2. Do you know that he really has :diamond: or will be bluffing on the turn? May be this will stop him from betting?
