Hello there guys,

Low info on villain, playing 24/22 on 41 hands:

PokerStars - €0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 115.5 BB
Hero (SB): 106.5 BB
BB: 272.8 BB
UTG: 117 BB
MP: 103.4 BB
CO: 227.4 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

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

UTG raises to 2.2 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 8 BB, fold, UTG raises to 20 BB, Hero calls 12 BB

Flop: (41 BB, 2 players) 2♦ 5♥ 5♦
Hero checks, UTG checks

Turn: (41 BB, 2 players) 3♥
Hero checks, UTG checks

River: (41 BB, 2 players) 6♥
Hero checks, UTG bets 97 BB and is all-in, fold

Spoiler

UTG wins 39 BB

This hand was played during December, I'm now reviewing some of those hands.
I thought my hand won't be very profitable in a 5bet shove vs UTG range, that's why I called the 4bet even oop. Your thoughts here?
With that flop my plan was to x/shove (thoughts?). Villain checked behind, should I stab that turn with like 1/3 pot bet?
With another xbh from villain, how should I approach that river? I think it's rare to see a shove for bluff there.. But I checked all the 3 streets.
What do you guys think?

Thanks.

I have moved your hand to our hand discussion forum. There fits it better.

Against a decent aggressive player I wouldn't mind a 5bet jam. As played I would play the hand the same. It's tought to get better hands to fold on the turn or river.

Cheers,

dont check/shove on flop. i dont think its profitable against his range. If he has any normal range, he is always on QQ+.

"I thought my hand won't be very profitable in a 5bet shove vs UTG range" well i would assume the same.

if he checksback the flop he could very well just slowplay AA KK on this board.

stabbing the turn after he checksback the flop doesent make too much sense against a tight range. In best case he just folds AK, or might even call AK.
It would make more sense if he tends to 4bet bluff hands like KQ, and c/f them after getting action.
However i think in most cases he just slowplays QQ+ on this board,
i think the best play is just checking and hope for freecard. Or call the FD with odds.

As played just c/f river ui. After he pushes in on the river, he sits probably on AA KK and is waiting for action on this board.

Preflop : i dont know exactly what Equity you get with AK vs QQ+ only but if he is somewhat nitty or has a tight 3bet 4bet range you can fold AK oop vs utg. His range just has you crushed most of the time. You need around 33%+ Equity to call a 4bet or 3bet with standard sizing.

5bet jam could be fine, but you'll be flipping at best.
If you cold call some QQ/KK hands preflop, I think you can donkbet small this flop with AKs and shove the turn/flop.
When you check villain is indeed incentivized to slowplay some PP, so leading makes some sense imo to put pressure on QQ, JJ for instance. You block AA and KK combos, which is great too.
I don't think you can fold the nutflush-draw on this board no matter what, they'll be all in cloth anyway.
Check/shoving is the first thought that comes to mind, but I think you're often behind in this case.
With your blockers, I think it's profitable to lead/shove.
