Info:

Hero: Random guy that isn`t perceived as a fish

Villain: Reg that has had several hands this session in which he open huge preflop cbets on a low card board and shuts down when overcards to his very obvious high PP come on turn and river. Not the type of player who makes herocalls, at least he hasn`t done so since sitting down. He limps small PP and other cards that he wants to play for cheap. He is not the time that makes thin vbets and I believe what makes him "good" is that he isn`t overplaying hands and getting into tacky situations.

Hand:

UTG+1 (1k) opens to 35$ (kinda standard open at this table)
folds to hero (1k) in CO (77)
(surprisingly everyone else folds)

flop 80$
468

Villain bets 45
Hero calls

Turn (170$)
468A
Villain checks
Hero bets 90$
Villain calls after 10 Seconds

River (350$)
468AA
Villain checks
Hero thinks for 20 seconds and bets 525$
Villain folds after 10 seconds

After his check on the turn I think it`s rather obvious that he has TT-KK and I have to bet two streets to get him to fold. The Ace on the river is pretty much the nut worst card for a bluff in the deck, thus I elect to overbet huge.

On most runouts I would have raised the turn and bet big on the river, because we have all the sets, and he pretty much has only 88 (would have limped 66/44/57s) and overpairs.

Thoughts on my line and thoughts on how to play a "real" set on this board vs a reg that thinks that you are playing solid? Weird dynamic, because normally we should be going to the flop 5ways.

Bet turn a bit bigger but only if you know you have the balls to smash the river, which apparently you did. I like the line, but villain can play Ax a lot like this, so it’s risky and high variance to say the least.

The turn 1/2 size and river overbet would give me some pause if I was V in this hand. Not saying it makes me call 99-KK, but that combo looks weird to me and not very indicative of a flopped set that made a boat on the river. I don't think I fold AT-AK to that sizing.

Haha .. yeah. I can not change it anymore. I thought into the direction of "repping set vs reg" ..

I would bet way bigger on the turn if you want to fold out KK-TT.

You’re basically allowing villain to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish, keeping the pot smaller.

I agree this is a fairly common way to play Ax however.
