Vilain is playing 17/10, haven't seen him do anything too out of line.

I can see reasons for folding, calling or shoving here.

what is your plan calling on flop?

Blaah sucky spot..
I may like a 3b/f pre, but that's preference.
As played, I'm fine with calling flop, but you have to know there are tons of cards that are sooooo bad for your hand. The 9 is actualy pretty good for us. What do you think villains range is?
Is he c-betting always, or he actually has a hand here according to you?
Notice also sizing of villain. This big i'm inclined to just c/f..
Don't like C/raising because when we are called or reraised we have gross decisions with a hand that has decent showdownvalue (we still have toppair).

As played flop, I'm unsure what to do on turn. With his doublebarrel we are just drawing to a straight and I don't think our T is good. Again, even if we hit the straight with a club or spade, we might not even have the best hand, so I would fold here again. Villain put already 30% of his stack in it, so I don't think he is light here.

My play: 3b pre--> b/f flop on this board


I was thinking this through so much, that my argumentation and play here can be totally off and uberbad.. Apologies

Pre is fine.

Flop is debatable. I think c/r is a more aggro (but not necessarily better) line, but whatever, wasn't the question.

OTT, as played, I hope folding isn't part of your thought process. You've got top pair and an OESD. Your image in your opponents eyes is weak as you've at this point gone call/call/check, so we can't give him much credit in position for having a hand. It's time to drop the hammer and CRAI. We'll disallow any As from hitting a better hand, flush draws too, will perhaps get folds from TP better kicker hands, and might get called by some drawing hand or something.

c/f turn

c/c^3

pretty ugly board for him to b/c overpairs (and even if he does we do okish). jam > call on turn with these stacks imo. if he is a drooler you can call and jam river when you improve since he prolly will station off with one pair type of hands.
if i play my A-game and can soulread strength into this cbetsizing i'd just fold.

Don't like flop play, but since that's how you did it I might donk the turn. If he does anything stupid, you can suspect over pair.

I think check-raising flop is overplaying/turning our hand into a bluff, no?

If we check/jam turn when villain puts in 4K, leaving himself 14K behind, do we ever have enough fold-equity?

Pretty ugly spot. I think I c/c here again. Kinda disagree with furo here that he'll b/f overpais on such a drawy board, so jam is no good here imo.u could also bluff a bunch of club rivers

most players will c/c a hand like JT(pair+draw) and fold worse made hands w/o equity.
a 17/10 likely knows this, and he choses a sizing that allows to b/f.
if i'm him and had QQ+ i'd b/f one pair hands vs most villains on turn, and i'd chose a sizing that allows him to c/c weaker hands than my overpairs.
