V in this hand is a reg. Has a typical PF TAG raising range but will loosen up in LP. Only HH we have that night is first hand of the session. where he raises LP to 15 and I 3! OTB to 45. He shows KQo and folds. V ( I assume ) respects my game.

He's fairly straightforward postflop. Will cbet/shut down if met w/ resistance. Recognizes favorable cbet board textures, etc. etc.

My image is neutral, if not aggro. Been raising a bunch but been c/folding flops due to drawy board textures. Probably viewed as passive postflop.

OTTH: ( Eff. Stacks 240. I cover ).

V raises 15 CO. Hero looks down at Ad3h OTB. Hero flats.

Meant to 3! here, but had a momentary lapse of judgement. V's range is very wide in this spot and has been shown to fold to PF aggression. D'oh!

Flop: AhAcKh $60.00

Checks to V. He bets 35.

I expect V to cbet on this board type 100% of the time. He could be doing this w/ any broadway K, or* an A. Doubt he's betting into 3 other people w/ air. This is a classic WA/WB situation, and the reason why you dont flat baby aces! But my hand is too strong to fold to one street.

H calls. everyone folds. HU. $130.00

Turn: Qh. Board:AhAcKhQh

V bets 75. V has approx. 115 left. H?

No way he's barreling 2 streets w/ air. Q didnt change much for his range. I think he can fire again w/ the K still, but its unlikely given how drawy the board is. He quickly bet which also makes me lean him toward having an A. If he's boated up im crushed, but there's more A7-AJ combos in his range that were even equity with than there are AQ and AK. What do you do here? Do we flat in anticipation of* a split pot? What about if we know he has an Axh combo. I think folding is a mistake here, but he freerolling w/ 16% here. He's basically pot committed. What is your play?*

Im lost. You say villain raise in the cutoff and you call but never mention anyone else calling. I assume 2 other people called. It makes a difference if he raised to $15 after limpers or if it was the blinds who called (even though its heads up now on the turn)

You also say villain will C-bet 100% of the time and then say he wont bet with air into 3 people. Cant give advice based on your wishy washy reads.

Was there a couple of limpers to CO? If so, I instamuck. If it was folded to him (i.e. the blinds were the one that ended up coming along) then I could get behind a 3! here but obviously have to make sure we're not breaking this out too much against him in this spot as he's eventually going to get stubborn. But mainly I just fold.

I think I manage a nit fold on the flop. As you say, this guy ain't barrelling the flop 4ways with air, and with so many in the pot most people make an assumption that someone has an A here. The high hearts eliminate a lotta flush combos that would raise preflop to semibluff the flop (QJhh?). Meh, it's also possible I fold far too easily.

Everything is ahead of us on the turn. The semibluffed flush / straight draw got there, and the best we can do against another A is chop (keeping in mind even KK/QQ are now crushing us). He's still betting after one of the worse cards got there. His bet sizing seems perhaps a little big if he filled up, but I still fold here.
