    Default 2/4 - trips with AK facing shove

    Dynamic is probably important here:
    -yesterday villain (Princemrahil) caught me bluff raising a couple flops and continuing after the flop
    -villain perceives me as bluffy with airish hands/draws and stationy with made hands. I'm pretty sure he thinks I suck lol.
    -Villain folds to most of my 3bets, but continues too far post when I raise flops. Plan was to c/r most A high and K high flops.
    -Since villain perceives me as stationy, I find it hard to believe he'd check a big hand on this flop (A9/A3 or a set)
    -I expected a call or fold on this river almost always, and I definitely didn't expect a jam. Timing on my turn raise was a couple of seconds, timing of my river bet was around 6-7 seconds and his shove was around 5 seconds

    I see only few hands, which checks flop, bet THAT turn and calls your raise - they are KcQc, KcJc (or something like that)

    - with info, which he has about you - slowplay is definitely EV- (especially deep)
    - it seems that he is trying to bluff you out from your bluff

    - I would call it

    to me it seems like you used the dynamic you have to own him... now call?

    What does he think your calling range from the blinds is? The fact he thinks your a station doesn't bode well, but if you call kind of wide from the blinds I can see him shoving worse trips for value (although he probably c-bets AJ type hands?). Or does he have A2 every time.

    I think we can discount alot of the weaker aces jamming for value coz he would probably three bet turn with big aces, AJ AQ and a slow played hand on the flop. If he thinks ur stationy and has checked the flop he has to get in a three bet for value with his boats right. Esp since ur a lil deep. I think a big part of his value range that plays this way is A2 and maybe 22, if he checked flop.. b/c turn coz he thinks ur drawing and lands a boat and makes it look bluffy. But i think its mainly A2s more and 99 or 33 less. I guess his UTG+1 raising frequency would be able to sorta tell whether he is raising a lot from there, but i think A2s, 33 and 99 is part of anyone's range in most positions. I think bcoz hes repping so little and u guys have history, and there will be alot of missed draws/bluffs in his range i would call.

    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    I 3bet pre even with reads and history. Gotta call river, I think you're only losing to A2 and he's spazzing a fair amount.

    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    I would only fold if I actually thought he had pocket 9s or pocket 3s.
