OTTH: I'm the effective stack with $750 and I open AKo in MP to 15, he 3b button to $75. Hero flats.
FLOP ($157): J64r
Hero checks, V cbets $80...
What's the best play here? Why?
I changed a few things here in the HH for effect.
I also shortened your description of V because the first part seems most important.
AP above you have far more flexibility postflop.
You can x/call or you x/raise as a bluff and try to end the hand right here.
I personally would just x/call frequently here and see what happens on the turn.
You say yourself V shuts down postflop frequently if his flop cbet bluffs get called so why not play postflop poker here?
When you 4! bomb pre so huge here you are often going to end up in these spots, where you’re usually up against 10’s+/AK, but you have the disadvantage postflop everytime you whiff flop.
This also isn’t a terrible spot to be OOP against a 3!
Imo here I would rather just let V be the aggressor pre, because that can be an advantage postflop against hands like AQ/KQ/AJ. You should still be able to get stacks in a fair amount of the time on favourable boards.
(Except for the times has 10’s-QQ, and the board is A-K-4. But there will also be plenty of times the board is 8-10-Q etc.)
