Pretty pumped to get raised on the flop. It's a trivial call/call. C-bet is too big. Prefer $20 at the most.

If he limped with jacks then it's a slam dunk call, but if he just flatted a raise with jacks yeah I would be alil more concerned but I would hate to fold otr.
They are afraid of getting sucked out on, which can happen and they also know they will probably never fold if they know they are beat. For example Q or K on river and V moves all in. So better protect the hand now.

Sometimes you're going to get coolered. The fact that you didn't here is impressive but over the long-term ridiculously -EV.
This is typical elitist I read a poker book once and I remember some of the jargon listen to me! Maybe Hero did not have enough reads to make this play. But if anyone plays live for any significant amount of time, the OMC type still exist at these tables and every room has one or several. OMC does not c/r AQ here, mostly flats AK for deception, and raises 99 for protection.

Against this range you are calling praying you split or suck out, that is the -EV play.

V is not an OMC he’s a MAWG.

There are people who play passive preflop and aggro post. There are people who view AQ (4th nuts) as a strong hand on AA9, and if they have a strong hand they raise — they just play their hand.

There are all sorts of people who might raise AQ here and none of Hero’s reads eliminate the possibility that V is that type. That’s why folding is a -EV play.

FWIW, I don’t think villain even needs to have AQ in his range to make the turn profitable? For better than 3:1 with 6 combos of AK for the split the call should be +EV assuming A9s is dead.

That said I don’t think discussing a hand like this offers much value. If we know from playing 1000000 hands with villain that he raises only every 221 hands preflop and has shown down AA every single time, that’s a pretty easy fold on the AAKK turn after the flop checked through. Would that make for an interesting spot to analyze in depth?

Well, it is 3 combos of AK we split 4 combos of AQ we beat and 3 combos of 99 we are crushed by. If we believe AQ makes this move calling is slightly +EV, if we believe V never makes this move with AQ and flats a lot of AK then it is a pretty big -EV. So yeah not super interesting as I agree to make this play against V after not seeing that many cards is a bit much but honestly it is close enough either way.

There is one guy at my club though who in 3 years I have never seen him 3-bet anything other than AA or KK, against that guy I would fold AK here.

The bolded is false. It’s a +$20 EV call versus {99,AK}. Versus {99, AQ} it’s plus hundreds of dollars EV, not slightly +EV like you said.

You may be neglecting to consider we have 15% equity versus 99? A mistake I made at first as well.

Versus {AK,99} (3 combos of each):

After we call turn:

Half the time we win 15% of a $1000 pot for $150 EV

Half the time we chop a $1000 pot for $500 EV

Our average take from the final pot is $650/2=$325.

But we had to pay $300 on turn to continue playing the game, so the net EV of turn call is $325-$300=$25.

Yeah i guess it is plus ev but slightly blows my mind AK has 35% equity against AK,99.

Yeah, if it’s half dead half chop our equity is 25%
But if it’s half 15% equity and half chop our equity is (15+50)/2=32.5%

What makes you think V is a omc? Because he flats JJ pre? Rofl no one at 1/3 live 3bets JJ pre so he is just population. And 1/3 live population raises any A on AA9r because they suck and that’s how we make money from them.

Unless op left out something about vilain, i dont know how this fold can ever be profitable.

I know a handful of winning 1/3 players that will 3-bet 99+/KQs+ preflop and one guy that will 3-bet JTs+. It comes down to stack sizes, knowing something about your players and therefore when to do it.
