Villain is a funny mini duck dynasty looking dude. More importantly he's playing relatively tight but pretty aggro in the pots he's in. I'd guess around 20/15 and probably a 90% + cbet frequency and high 2 barrel frequency. He hasn't shown down much but when he has they've been legit hands if a bit over played. The one real oddity was that he raised on a AQxKJr board and showed AK and lost to the obvious T. He's sitting on ~$500

Hero has QQ in the SB and has a bit over $300

Preflop
folds to V who raises to $15, folds to Hero who calls, BB calls

Flop: $45
989

check, check, $30, call, fold

Turn $105
989 6

check, $60, call

River $225
9:896 8

check, $100, Hero ???


I flat vs 3! pre because I anticipate this being HU and don't mind that at all. I decide to passive this because I figure this V type will bet a much much wider range than he'll call. Run out isn't disastrous for my hand. I'm behind the AA, KK that are in V's range. Set's (quads) are unlikely because well quads are unlikely.

Is this passive line terribad? Now that we've gotten here has V demonstrated enough strength to make us fold or is this a clear call?

Villain is opening pre from what position? Is $15 a std raise at this table in a pot with no limpers and some players folded already?

I'd probably have been 3bing this guy fairly light so I'd go ahead and 3b QQ pre too.

AP I'd have jammed turn. River is ehh but the price is too good to fold vs what sounds to be an aggrotard.

Ck-f turn

No.

As played I call with possible missed FD bluff, random spazz, and over valued JJ and TT. Why did you flat pre though....

You're banking on V betting worse for value and calling off 4 streets/100BB in the process along w blocking some of the bluffs he might have.

Pre flop is pretty bad. Fix that and you don't have to ask these questions.

V seems mindlessly aggressive post flop from the HH given.

Vs a range of {TT+, AJs, AQo} vs {QQ} (unsure of our suits), we're a 76/24 favorite

V opens from MP - like 3 or 4 off the button. His $15 is a little big but not terribly unusual. I'd say $12 would be more typical. I go $15 over a limper or 2 but I'd normally $12.

There's not a lot of 3 betting in this game so I can't say that I've ever seen V open and get 3-bet but given his frequencies and the rest of his play I'm guessing he's folding to a 3! a lot and I'm hoping to get more than $15 value out of this hand.

That's the thinking anyway. If you think that's terrible ... well I'm here to learn.

This would be a standard 3! for me against most other villains and if there was a limper in front of him.

Well-played, now call. Villain should have very few 9s and 8s in his hand. If he's betting AA and KK for value, then he's also betting 1010 and JJ for value. Add in the hands where he's barreling AK and this is a cinch.
