Seems fine to me. If he had AK/AQ/JT or a set then that's just a cooler. I don't give creditfor the runner runner flush BTW.

Looks pretty standard to me. Unless he slowed AK, AQ which I doubt. Id say your good here.

I'd just call the raise and go into check/call mode on the turn. If he checks behind I think we're good, so fire the river. IMO AQ is completely in a UTG limp range. Plus at $33's I assume that if you lead/3bet your probably not getting much more value from A2-AT. If you just call the 3bet you should get more value from those hands. Theres also no flush draws out, which limits his range

yeah I don't hate the flop re raise but after that you have to slow down and I think it's marginal. Mostly like juan said you're helping worse hands to get away. Also note there are a ton of cards that will kill your action or beat you even if he does have Ax

Def as played once you bet the turn you're committed on non A/J/T rivers .

If he had AK/AQ/JT or a set then that's just a cooler.

What range are you giving him to call a flop 3 bet?

Misread the board, I thought there was a flush draw on board. Given the flop came rainbow I agree with fjuanl, I would just call the raise and c/c the turn.

Why are you assuming villain has us beat?

I'm not sure if it's a leak.. but it has been going okay for me.

Whenever I startracker someone and can't find stats, it means they've made their account recently.. and most of the time it labels them as a weaker player.

Anyways, I looked him up before I 3-bet him on the flop.

He called the river and showed AT.

Don't rely on this too much.

If your villain and you have AQ. Would you reraise Heros raise?

I am not assuming that Villain has us beat, it's a question of how big a pot we want to play with bottom two pair on a scary board. If in the same situation we had 43o and the flop came 843, I'd be prepared to felt the hand but on this board since this is a way ahead/way behind situation (and we don't know which it is) I want to control the pot size. By re-raising the flop we build the pot to such a size that it effectively means we are playing for most or all of our stacks.

TSV has Ax. Possibly two-paired you on the river!

So should Hero just CC to the river?

I think the flop bet is fine since we don't want to give any free cards. I would call the raise then c/c turn and river. By keeping the pot smaller by just calling the flop raise hopefully we can try to show this down as cheap as possible.
