Starting with reads: SB has been running a ridiculous 85/38 with a 25% 3-bet percentage over a smallish sample, so he struck me as rather spewy and I didn't take his pfr too seriously. In retrospect I probably should have repopped against his weakish range, even with a raggy AAxx, especially given that I'd probably get a fold from the rather loose CO (55/12 or something) which would give me position post.
Flop: villain's bet seemed really off to me here. A more straightforward player would probably not even donk out their strongest holdings i.e. sets, and likely not with that type of sizing. His range is of course rather wide given history and reads, but it's hard to imagine this board texture hitting his range that hard at all. At best he has binked two pair, possibly with a three-broadway w/ a dangler type hand like AJT6. Overall however his range looks like a lot of air with crappy draws, so I decide to call one off here. I expect BUT to fold all but sets in this spot so I'm not too worried about him either.
Turn: the K does complete a bunch of two pair hands for our villain - his most likely holdings at this point in my view - but with the nut flush draw and two pair and top set outs I am not terribly worried. He could also be firing with pair + gutshots or pairs + weaker flush draws. The only thing i'm legitimately crushed by here is a made set on the flop, which as stated is an unlikely holding given his line.
River: villain fires again, this time with a sort of fishy sizing of a 1/2 pot. given my previous reads / line I can't realistically call off two streets and then fold to a smallish bet when my hand improves significantly. I've now got all his two pair holdings crushed, and since no obvious draws completed + funky sizing I think a call is a decent play. I feel like if he had some type of two pair hand that turned into a boat, or some other weird 6xxx hand (somehow?) he would size differently here. Combine all this with my line looking uber weird and drawy, leading villain to believe my range is rather weak etc, and it's not even close imo.
Thoughts on this hand? How do you feel about my estimates of villain's range throughout? How's my line / thought process in this hand?
