Thanks as always for your excellent comments.

1) In the HH, the bluff/non-bluff isn't as important as the fact that V was willing to call a big raise with (ostensibly) just a draw. He wasn't getting pot odds in all likelihood to bink the turn (which apparently he did). Sorry if I focused excessively on the "bluff" instead of highlighting the more important issue of V's "aggression factor".

2)I'm not opposed to stacking off here, but I prefer to do it ott. So I'd rather take a free card while retaining the option to delay c-bet/jam this turn while I'm still uncapped. How would you play red Aces here?

I think we all agree that GTO says we should bet this flop with the great majority of our range. My point was to inquire whether a deviation from standard GTO is warranted in particular Villain's case, based on the prior HH and the lingering faint possibility that V pushed H off a winning hand and/or raised him pretty light.

I don't think there's that much room between our points of view here.

Best part about this thread is if V called the 75 with a AdXd and we shove turn we get the hands that have us "drawing dead" to fold. I guess the popular advice here would be just to check again to GTOrealize our equity or some sht.

Now that I think about it, H should have potted flop so we could be closer to a psb turn jam. Watch in horror as this V folds 85% on the turn and gifts us another $120.

I am going to be blunt and its not to because I am being rude or picking on you and if you take what I am about to say very seriously it will help you in the long run. The way you're talking about poker in this thread is at a very flawed amateur level. You come off as someone who is trying really hard to get better at poker but are taking in too much information too quickly from too complex of sources. Its like trying to be a rocket scientist while skipping university. Forget about GTO and use flopzilla for an hour. If you think you need to worry about RIO in this hand or think in the example hand given that V is bluffing you really need to go back to the basics.

Thanks for your concern and advice. To repeat what I said to Minatorr above, I'm not sure the V was bluffing. But he certainly showed aggression in that hand.

Let's do a thought experiment. Regardless of the outcome of this hand, would you adjust your style next time you played this V? If so, how? Thanks again for your help.

Well, doesnt 1) characterize the vast majority of live players who just love to cawl?

2) Overpairs on this board are mixes for me but im betting with the diamonds more often. This board we should be checking a ton. If i recall correctly PIO checks 80%+ of range here

The irony of this post is astounding given your two classic rebuttals to anyone challenging you are 1) that you take "unorthodox lines," and 2) that there are "multiple ways to play hands correctly" which Minatorr then has to correct you every time that playing a hand profitably doesn't mean it was played correctly, as the correct line is the line with the highest EV.

There are multiple +EV ways to play most hands. We cant know which +EV line is best without knowing villains exact hand. Whoever is better at reading people, narrowing their ranges, and taking advantage of that information will do the best long term. End of story.

That's you right?

Of course it is
