Barrel it on turn or just check back ?
Opp after 500 hands:
27/17
wts: 29
af: 2.1
fold to 3-bet : 50%
steal: 34%
fold to c-bet : 25% (this is pretty strange)
I think this is a spot which you should analyse yourself. If i tell you what you should do here you won't learn much from it.
- So try and put this guy on a range, look at how much of it he's folding, which part he's check/calling you with and which part he will maybe even checkraise.
- Then open up pokerstove and play round with the range he could push vs your hand and look at your equity vs the part of his range he's check/calling.
- Figure out against which part of his c/c- range at the turn you'll have implied odds.
- Try to calculate the foldequity you got by looking at how much of his range he's check/folding.
By the time you analysed all of that stuff you'll know what to do.
If you need help just unmark the hand again.
Being a bit deep I would call in position 89s, it plays great. The bigger is the stack to pot ratio the more important our positional advantage becomes.
As played, I would cbet less @half the pot and bet/fold the turn and barrel shove river, to get him off AJ, KQ. A strong hand will c/r the turn or donkbet the river.
In case villain would blockbet/valuebet small the river it would be tricky, but we showed great strenght preflop, on the flop and turn, so there's no need for a tiny valuebet so I will still shove.
Sorry for digging up this grave. But what would you do postflop as played?

Yes exactly. So for 100BB I'd also call, but being a bit over 160BB deep you want to play a bigger pot IP to maximize your positional advantage.As played, I would cbet less @half the pot and bet/fold the turn and barrel shove river, to get him off AJ, KQ.

I like the big bet on the flop, I'd even make it 8-9. If you bet half pot it will be very hard to get AI.
Generally I think the plan of betting turn and shoving river is ok (was my first thought as well), but you should be aware that trying to get people to fold strong 2pairs in 3bet pots is kind of risky ;).In case villain would blockbet/valuebet small the river it would be tricky, but we showed great strenght preflop, on the flop and turn, so there's no need for a tiny valuebet so I will still shove.
If he c/c turn and leads the river I'm inclined to just fold because from experience when people take this line they're strong.Sorry for digging up this grave. But what would you do postflop as played?
No problem :).
Just out of curiosity, how did you end up looking at this hand? ♦
I've set myself to review a lot of hands per day and I went many pages back in this forum to find a start. This hand was there on the first page that I chose 
and was unclear, so I wanted to post.
Nice, you have quite some work ahead of you ♦.
Btw I just saw you're from Romania, where exactly are you from?
I'm from Galați, not far from Bucharest ( I lived there for 2 months on my own).
I know that you're friends with eszibit, I also know him from the first Romanian Diamond Party. I was a diamond back then ♦
I had a big downswin on SH and now I'm rebuilding my BR and improving my 6max game, since I played almost only FR till now. This is why I'm keen on reviewing lots of hands, I need to get my game on and skyrocket.
