I am effective stack at 1k

Villain 1. Crazy action. Doesn’t like folding. Capable of bluffing but plays very loose

Villain 2. Seen nothing but solid play from him

OTTH

V1 opens 40 CO, v2 in SB calls and I call with AJ offsuit in BB

Flop is A 10 7 two hearts. Check. Check. CO bets 75 we both call

Turn is 8 offsuit . SB leads for 200 I call and he folds

River is 6 of hearts. SB checks. I have Ace of hearts. Turn my hand into a bluff or take showdown? I feel like my pair of aces isn’t good now, but he would most likely bet a flush on river

Jam or check?

Turn lead was weird I kind of put him on 2 pair not wanting to see it checked thru

Seems like an easy fold on turn when SB takes a very nutted action/sizing and CO behind is uncapped. AP river you can make a play and jam if you want. Certainly seems that SB never has a flush and the 4-liner should make it easier for him to find a fold with his sets/two-pair.

Seems like a pretty clear squeeze pre with a loose CO open and solid villain only calling from the SB.

As played it looks like he's capped at 77/66/AT/A7/A6/76 so I'd feel comfortable turning your hand into a bluff with the A

blocker and 4 to the straight on the board and bet something like $550.

ps: it's easier for people to follow along if you put the size of the pot on each street

I don't love bluffing flush boards with less than a pot sized bet. I prefer to have at least like 1.5x or 2x pot in these spots and I also jam flushes in these spots.

But honestly you may be at the bottom of your range with the best possible blockers, so I think you have to bluff here.

Turn I feel like you could talk yourself into a fold as you block hearts, but you do have a gutter, so you are probably good on a 9, also likely good on a J. But I think you need to be ready to bluff hearts if you are willing to call turn.

This times a million.

If we can't squeeze because our stack is short (we have 100 BB's here which should be ok, but we'll probably end up with a low all-in-or-fold SPR on the turn), then I would just fold pre.

As played I would check back the river and expect to be beat tbh, but as mentioned it's hard to get ppl to fold AK or aces up just because the flush came in otr for less than a psb.

+1 for PF squeeze

AJo can easily be a 3bet vs CO against most V's but especially this CO who is going to call with a lot of dominated hands. I make it 200 and SB probably never sees the flop where we get HU against the person we really want to play against.

As played the flop is also a raise due to wide ranges and a draw heavy board. Turn is an easy fold where you're still 3 way and a connected scary card hits and the solid guy leads out.
