A6s on BTN, 3bet pot, facing a river CR

Given the action you should size up on the turn. Villain checks twice, his range is weak so you have the effective nuts here. That doesn't mean we want to play for stacks, but you should bet aggressively. 70%+ pot.

River play, i don't mind a half pot bet but you could even still be betting around 2/3 here. But given the flush completes i think half-pot is fine. Anything else i think we should be going for 2/3 value.

As played, i would fold. Very strange line from villain, i'd just give it to him. x/x/xr is a line you don't typically see bluffed.

Is 3betting 17% in these position good idea nowadays?

I think that's too high.

I do see regs with over 18% 3bet overall though, but I noticed they do have a pretty decent preflop counter strategies to 4bet light/bluff especially in position.

I feel like I'm getting 5bet bluffed to death nowadays especially at GG.

Your own thoughts would be interesting as well. I prefer to just call pre-flop in position with A6s. Now you change your hand in to a bluff and hand played decent post-flop.

River smells like a backdoor flush based on the post-flop line of the villain in this hand, but tough to fold 2 pair without any reads.

A6s seems a bit loose btn vs mp as a default 3bet, @Drifter as you say you see regs 3betting with 18% over all but remember most if not all of those with very high 3bets are chasing leaderboards. So there 3bet sizing and/or 3bet frequency can differ during different times of the day.

My solver says to bet flop and turn and then check river. If I bet river and get CR which is what happened to me then call 46% and fold 54%.
