V(MP,480): 20s asian guy. Play tight sometimes, bluffs sometimes and play lot junk hands. loves to slow play big pairs. Hero flopped tptk vs V's over pair in this session twice and paid him.

H(UTG,850): Similar image like V. He saw me bluff, semi bluffs and show down good hand.

Preflop: H UTG has KK and raises to 12(Standard rise). V calls. SB calls

Flop($38): 2s2c6d

SB checks, Hero bets 25, V raise 65. Hero tanks and calls.

Thought process: I don't think he has 2 here, maybe 66 or overpairs. H wants to see turn and re-evaluate.

Turn($168): 9d

Hero checks, V bets 50. H thinks a little and raises 150. V goes all in quickly(about $250 more for H to call). Hero tanks, flip over cards and calls.

Thought process: The reason H decides to raise is because his turn bet is so weak. H doesn't believe he flopped a set.

I like it all until you call the shove.

your turn raise is meh. He can't call it with out a hand so it accomplishes nothing but let's him off the hook if he is bluffing. There isn't much to protect against so there is really no point in raising turn.

As played - you can't profitably call his jam. Just fold. Calling is a huge leak.

I would of check / called turn and probably check / called river unless it was an A or maybe another 6 depending on what he did. I'm folding river if he shoves though.

I like everything about the hand. The weak turn bet by him imo either means he isnt sure how to continue with his overpairs, or he picked up a draw.The insta shove doesn't show great strength imo and you know have to call 250 to win 600. Not sure about the exact math but pretty sure we this is a call, us being at the top of our range. I dont mind folding TT-QQ but KK,AA never folding here.

PF and flop look good.

Don't like raising the turn. Raising the turn folds out any air that he has, and also most likely lets him fold hands that you beat like 77-TT. I'm calling turn and then re-evaluating river.

Once you raise the turn and he shoves, what do you think his range is? He saw you raise PF, c-bet flop and then call a raise, and then c/r turn. Your hand looks exactly like QQ+, and yet he's still shoving when he knows that you're probably priced in to call. Unless he's a maniac, he's going to have something like A2s, 22, 66 or 99 here the majority of the time.
