    Default QQ - Cold Calling 3-bet deep.

    Villain is 30/19 3 bet of 11% over 60 hands. Preflop seems pretty standard. Flop does also.

    Turn I'm a bit lost, Two things are running through my mind. 1. He's not set up a pot sized river shove here like I'd expect most regs to do with their value range i.e AA and KX. 2. Does he really barrel this turn given how strong my range looks, I mean I have TT here minimum most of the time abd even that's a bfit of a push. So if my range is just JJ+ then he surely shuts down with a lot of his air here since we have no read that he does otherwise. I think the turn is probably a fold given how strong my range looks.

    Ima station so I went ahead and called turn and then lol pot odds called this river bet even though on reflection he must be bluffing here a pretty damn low amouint of the time. Thoughts?

    I think its close preflop between a 4b and a flat. With only 60 hands on the guy you dont know whether he is really 3bing light here or for value. However if you do 4b and he gets it in will we be comfortable getting it on for 200BB in this spot?

    Post i play the same.

    Okay thanks for the input guys, much appreciated. On this river, do you really think he continues bluffing much or ever value bets worse? I just don't see how it looks like I can be folding especially to this bet size. Am i just not giving him a wide enough spazzing/bad bluff making range?

    I've been away from poker completely for 4+ months, and I'm just posting trying to get my head screwed back on straight. So BIG grain of salt.

    Post he's obv repping AK (KQ is a remote possibility he may think we'll believe, but not given our cards and the board). But his preflop range w/ 11% 3-bet being the SB vs. CO seems like it would have a bunch more than AK in it.

    The question is can he 3 barrel air on this board? I think he can, and we have the 2nd top bluff catcher hand.

    My explanation for the river is that he has a full house w/ Kx and wants you to call, or he wants you to think he has a full house and fold.

    FWIW, I play it the same. I can't fold this flop to this player or I'm giving up WAY too much equity vs. his range. And I can't fold the turn or river either, as you and others have pointed out.

    Just working through some thoughts. Hope it helps.
