Hey,

I like your 3 bet pre.

Good c-bet on the flop. I prefer 200.
Fold to a raise on the flop.

Check/fold turn.

Check/fold river. We only beat a missed str8 draw.

If i fold to his every xr on the flop im just gonna get run over. Its a dryish board i have a good enough hand against i think a very aggressive opponent.
I just dont see my self folding there.

xc as suggested by daviid maybe?

Id x/c all the time, your hand doesn't need protection and its not a very strong hand you want to bet 3 streets, so you dont miss any value by checking.

Definitely check flop. No need to inflate pot OOP with that board and middle pair.

I think that you want to think about the psychology of the hand as well as your holdings. 1) we 3bet pre and show strength vs a player that we don't have a dynamic with. We go ahead and bet the flop. ( I think is fine.. Checking back and turning hand into bluff catcher is also fine here) 2) When we cbet flop he decides to raise. ( Remember, we just showed a ton of strength both pre flop and on flop.) 3) Ranges: What does your villain have?? Well he can for sure have us beat with qx+, but what about equity?? Well, we have blockers to ( k10, k9) Which in this case isn't good. Overall, I think river fold is fine.. Try to always think in ranges/ balance. GL

Recommendation
- Check-call

Pros
- Only A makes a pair higher than yours (K gives two pair)
- Get extra value from hands that would fold to a bet but decide to bluff
- Get extra value from weaker hands that would fold to more bets (because your hand looks weaker)
- Avoid getting raised and being put in a spot where you're not sure of opponent's range and he can bluff you out
Cons
- Give free card to opponent's draws or A-high
- Miss value if he's a calling machine (but not many 4x hands and you hold a J so it's less likely he has a J)
