I've been at the table for an hour. I've been playing relatively tight and have shown down mostly solid hands. V in the hand has played passively for the most part, but pushes the action when he has it. I've seen V get taken to valuetown (while in position) with TP- ten kicker by an Old Man Coffee who had TPTK, so he can be a little sticky. V had most his stack when I sat down.
V has $1300 and opens UTG to $15. Loose passive player calls on the btn. I (cover) look down and have A
A
in the BB and 3b to 65. V calls. Btn folds.
-I'm pretty sure I should have gone bigger here with my sizing. I'm thinking of going $75-$105. This would be based on my poor position and how deep we are.
-I range him on PP/ suited connectors 56s+/Ax suit/ Big Aces/ Broadways. Maybe this is wide. What range are you putting people on in 3b pots when they have position and are 200+bb deep? Maybe take out anything below AQ and KQ?
Flop ($140)

I bet $75. V calls.
-I range him on TT+; 99;55;33; 56s-KQd; Some floats with AQ+/KQ+He can't have Ax
since I have the A
-I think my sizing on the flop could have been a little bigger. Somewhere between $80-110

Q
-I check, V bets 135. I call.
-His bet sizing got me thinking he has a piece but not too much of a piece. I don't think he has a flush as I imagine he is betting bigger to get value but he may be suckering me in.
-I checked because I didn't want the pot to get too big. If I bet and then get raised, I'm left in a very tough spot. Maybe I should have gone with the old b/F with the sizing of $160 and play from there. Yes, the Q completed the flush but that is a very small percentage of his range.
-Ranging: TT/JJ should be checking unless he is bluffing with the hands. QQ should be betting. KK could be betting thinking he is ahead. Sets are still betting. Flushes are betting for value. 56s-9Ts should be checking but could be betting as a bluff. JTs is checking. AQ/ KQ/QJs could either be betting or checking.
River ($560)

-I check, V bets $225. Hero?
-Range: Flushes beat me but I have the A
. Bluffs of 56s (non-diamonds)/78 diamonds/ non diamonds got there. Sets beat me. I beat all Queens except a set of queens. I beat KK.
-River bet looks like a value bet trying to get called. There is an extremely small chance that he is bluffing. I under repped my hand when I checked the turn but are there enough combos for me to call.
