Villain has a 2% roi on sharkscope with 10k profit. This is hand number 8 of the match so not much info. He's fairly aggro and played most of his buttons thus far

I am not in love with my line, in fact I think it's okay at best. Though I don't know what other lines to take. thoughts?

to me, your line on the flop makes your hand look even weaker than it is.

not sure if that was your intention or not

That seems pretty -EV. Personally I don't like going all in that early in the match with 2nd pair and a kicker. At least wait around for top pair.

agree, in part, w this. it'd be nice to know how he reacts in 3b pots before you run the weird on him.

Don't like 3betting pf especially without reads. As played just throw in a cbet and take it from there.

Meh. That's partly why I'm not in love with my line. The flop is goodish for my hand but obv isn't great. I do think I can get called by worse here.

If you mean -EV as in it's better to fold than to shove here, then I disagree. I am almost certain a call/shove on the flop is better than folding. Also don't agree with at least wait for top pair to go all-in..

For the rest that say flat pre, while I think A9s is fine flatting, I also think 3betting is completely reasonable. It offers all the advantages that 3betting pre gives.
