Thanks everyone, I appreciate all of the input. Seems like the consensus is to 3b or fold pf. I chose not to 3b due to being in the Sb and the pfr size being so small. I didn't think that I would be put to the test like this very often, and against probably 90% of the field, this hand probably plays differently, or at least I am up against a much more passive player that makes turn raise more transparent. I think that the turn b/f assessment is also a good one, as I often let the b/f axiom escape me.
For a little post hand history context, I played this hand w/ same villain from above. I butchered things trying to get fancy:
Same scenario from above, except villain has an additional $100 or so in his stack.
MP limps, V in HJ raises to $12, hero in the SB 3b to $40. Action folds to V who makes a sort of crying call, after looking shocked that I made a 3b.
Pot: $80
Flop: 8
4
3
(This is where I start the blunder) I check, looking to put in a x/r as I think that V is going to fire at me with a lot of air. V checks it back. I like looking for a x/r in this spot w/ AA & KK, maybe QQ, but JJ in retrospect is not a good candidate.
Pot: $80
Turn: Q
I don't love or hate this card. I check and V bets $50. This line seems to hearken back to the previous one. I think that there are definitely some Q's in V's range. I also think that V could be taking a stab at a decent sized pot that I have shown a lot of passivity in w/ a hand that looks a lot like AK. I call.
Pot: $180
River: K
I'm not sure what to think about this card exactly, I don't really like another over card coming, but I am not sure what K high hands were betting the turn other than maybe AK, KQ (likely), KTs. V bets $80. After thinking about the hand from the op, I feel like this line is kind of bluffy, I don't see many K's that go for this sort of value otr, and I don't see any Q's taking this line at all really. I end up making a call and V shows
.
Not sure if I should have made a new thread for this HH, but it seemed like good a good follow-up to include here with the context from the original hand posted.
