I had a hand today that my friend told me he thought I spewed but I think given the circumstances I thought it was fine, so here it is. In order to understand the hand I have to explain a little bit about what was happening before.

For about 3 orbits hero would raise 3-4 hands/orbit and take them down either pre or with a c-bet. I was just running over a really passive table and they let me. Then for about 2 orbits I went on a heater and again was raising 3-4 hands/orbit but this time it was mostly for value. In one of the hands I stacked a fish with AKo on a very dry flop and doubled up to 420.

Villain in this hand was saying how he has lost a lot of money at 2/5, probably around 1k. He is asian, late 20s and I havent seen him to anything out of the ordinary. His stack at $220

The Hand: I raise to 15 UTG with AKo and i get raised by villain who is in MP to 45. Folds around and I flat.

Flop pot $90: Ah3hJs.
Hero doesnt have a heart. I cbet 65 and he flats.

Turn pot $220: Is a brick I cant remember exactly. He has $110 behind and I am first to act so I shove. He snap calls.

I believe given the situation that we had at the table and my image, he can raise me pre and float the flop with 99+ and ATs+. I pretty much thing I get value from QQ,KK,AQ and Im behind AA,JJ,AJ. With my image he might even call with a combo flush, straight draw.

Any feedback is welcome. Let me know if you give him a different range.

Is this a 2/5 table? Let's assume it is. Effective stack with villain is only 44 big blinds. Preflop, you raise 3bb and get reraised to 9bbs. If you call, the SPR is about 2. I think you should just go all in preflop and take your chances.

As played, you didn't "continuation bet" so much as "donk bet" into the preflop reraiser. I think I would rather check raise all in on the flop, giving him a chance to continuation bet with KK/QQ since he is just about pot committed given his stack size, and your donk bet with the ace on the flop just lets him off too easily if he does have KK/QQ, IMO.

Once you donk bet the flop and he calls, you are completely pot committed, he could possibly have AQ or even AT or a draw (although unlikely, I think), so pushing the turn is about all that is left to do. You can't very well c/f the turn given the stack sizes.

This is ridiculously optimistic. He would have to be tilting like a tilt-a-world to pay you off here with QQ/KK. AQ he pays you off.

I think more often than not, you are up against JJ here after he calls your flop bet.

I seriously can't see this villain 3-betting you with KQs. So basically, V's range is JJ-AA, AK and "maybe" AQs if we are feeling super generous.

Once he flats your flop bet, you are screwed. Too much equity to fold, SPR < 1. THere is no way you aren't stacking off here. Pot is simply too big. He got lucky, he flopped gin, nothing you can really do since pot is too big.

We would have to put him on exactly JJ to fold. AA is improbable. AK/AQ is in his range. It sucks, but based on the situation, I pay villain off and chalk it up to a cooler

AA is in his range.
JJ-AA is his only range and based on his actions
He has one of 2 hands
AA
JJ reload

Too much in the pot.... you have to call and expect to lose.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Even if he has has AA,JJ or AJ(which I doubt) I cant fold to an all in, so I might as well be the one pushing. I shouldnt have even posted this hand, my friend tilted me saying I spewed and thats why I thought Id ask for your opinion, people of 2p2
