2-3 NL, 300 to Match. Biggest game in the room, plays like a 3-5.

V in BB is a terrible lag. 30s Hispanic Guy. Very aggro in bad spots. He 3b vs utg to 75 from BB then folded to a jam for 125 more. He is probably 15% 3b but has only been 4b that one time. 1K eff.

Hero in co with KcKx.

Pre: MP limps, Hero iso 15. V in BB 75, fold, Hero 225, call

Flop (457) : Qc6c3x
Check check (letting him bluff turns is probably very profitable)

Turn (457) : 8x
Check, hero 150, call

River (757) : 2ccc
V checks

A little over 600 left.

I think I would jam river as played. There is well under pot left behind and if this guy somehow has you beat it's clearly just a cooler. I guess you could go smaller to target TT or JJ, but I think there is a chance those hands pay off anyway putting you on a bluff.

I think I would rather bet flop small. In a 4BP, I think checking back a flop that is good for your range can sometimes look suspicious. Betting small can induce some bluffs and allows Villain to XR overplay Qx or even worse ("I put him on Ace King").

I like $300 on river. Villain looks ready to give up and anything more then a small suck bet probably causes villain to fold. Stack size sticks you between this and putting villain all in for bet sizes.
Normally I would say checking flop after you 4 bet preflop is a mistake but you describe villain as getting aggro in very bad spots so it's OK. Having done that I would have bet more on the turn. I don't want to give a cheap card to draws and nothing else seems to be in play.

He seems to be trying to get to SD with maybe AQs; maybye JJ/TT thinking you checked otf with AK so I would def bet here (b/c) around 225 since I don't think he's strong enough to call much more. I don't even think he has QQ since he wouldn't slow play it too much with a FD otf.

Against the described V, I might be onboard with checking flop if we were oop, ip this is still a mandatory cbet for me.

As played, you can/should size up turn, imo.

As played, given the stack sizes, I think I would just shove river.

I would size up the turn to make the river an easy shove. As played, I go $250 or $300 to look "weak" and hope for a crying call from him. If he shoves you have to call. If he has clubs, oops.

Shove for value. I’d call it *very* light.

Only time I’d check this flop is if I’m certain villain is nit and only calling pre with QQ+. I’ve done that before and snap folded to a turn donk and they show me QQQ. But versus a spaz it’s def a bet.

vs how he was described and with that dynamic the check otf was fine if he thought an aggressive player "in bad spots" would likely bluff the turn.

A 4! in a live 2/3 game looks strong. I would cbet and keep firing.

Trying too hard to be fancy. Just bet the flop vs this fish. You actually look stronger imo when you check flop and get aggro later.

And now you're stuck on the river with an awkward spr where you might have gotten it all or let him spaz over a std flop c bet.

Pre seems fine.

Flop
I'm going to show up here with AK, AQ, AA, KK, QQ, A5, A4, AQ the majority of the time. If we're planning on bluffing it off I think it's a mandatory bet flop 1/3-1/2 and plan on probably punting the rest on the turn. So when we actually have value, we need to do the same and not get fancy. But I understand the reasoning. If he got here with 76s or some other random hand he may spaz when you check.

Turn
After second check we have to bet. 1/3 - 1/2 seems fine to setup reasonable river shove.

River
In game I'm 100% shoving with SPR of 1. I'm not good enough to bet/fold half pot or smaller. If he has JJ, TT, AQ/KQs and we check back it's a disaster. If he has AA/QQ or a random flush, then this "aggro" guy has shown great restraint and deserves my money.

Agree with this. If you bet 1/3 it can look like AK or JJ to the "smells weakness" type.

PRE - Depending on what the standard open is in this game, I might ISO bigger, and definitely 4B bigger.

FLOP - pretty much a mandatory c-bet for a smallish sizing, but I might go 1/3 pot.

TURN - barreling at least 2/3 pot.

RIVER - with the Kc in our hand and the Qc on board, I think it's just a jam.

Result: I jam 612 get snapped and win

Score one for the good guys. Well played. Nice hand.
