V1: younger kid about the same age as me. Has 300 to start. Seems pretty good. He has direct position on me. Out of everyone at the table probably the player I least likely wanna play against. Showing some aggression pre and post. Small bet sizes typically. Hasn’t gone to showdown
H: I cover. Also very young. I’ve been opening a lot and isolating I have 3 very bad players to my right. I think he may be noticing this. I’ve also had very very good hands which he is probably unaware of at this point
OTTH: one limp I raise HJ to 15 with red Kings. He 3! To 45
I just decide to 4! To 135 he calls
(270) Flop: Qc 7c 8h
That pots already big I’m OOP I guess we could just shove but I don’t think we get called by worse and he easily could have AA or QQ and jacks fold here
Pot size is 270 on flop and villain has 165 remaining? I bet this flop always/we're never folding here with this flop. Sometimes straightforward play is the best.......
Just GII on the flop man. You will be surprised what people call with. You got almost half the stacks in preflop. There is a good chance this is an AA vs KK spot, but just go with it.
Wtf. You commit nearly half of your stack pre and don't see an A on the flop. Jamming flop 100%. You will get called by worse and there's $270 there even if you don't. Instant jam.
I think A small cbet would be mandatory and sigh call if he shoves on the flop. Ultimately worked out since your opponent didn’t really take any aggressive actions during this hand post flop. Still played it well imo

I really don't mind mixing in flop checks against competent opponents you expect to see again. It's not that risky heads up and you keep some fat value in your checking range.
The turn x/c is criminal. I can't see any argument for it. Just shove. It's a wet turn and most thinking opponents will put all of your AK and semi-bluffs in your range after that flop action. And for the love of god, if you do decide to check, and your opponent bets 75 out of their remaining 165, just stick in the remaining 90 dollars.
His range is probably wider than you think, possibly as far as AQ+/JJ+. On that flop you are only losing to AA and QQ, beating the AK/AQ and JJ type hands. If he is willing to play that way with KQs, then you are even farther ahead.
I think I'm just sticking it in on the flop and calling it a day.
