It's the same reg (400k) as in the other hand.
My 2nd hand at the table.
I decided to limp/shove this hand because he doesnt know me and I thought he would raise a wide range pre.

On the flop he probably floats alot.
On the turn I went for a check raise because my line looks so bluffy (what Ax hands would I limp that can check raise the turn)

What do you think about my line?

If he doesn't know you then hes probably assuming that because you only completed the blind he won't give you credit for an ace.

My line in this situation would be:

Bet flop, then Check-Call the rest of the way down to let him bluff off and keep weaker hands in his range.

As played though, check call river I feel as if we fold out much of the hands that we beat if we shove. hes going to look you up only with 2pair+

i do prefer raising pre as im raising 100% of my range from garbage to monsters, plus this complete to induce idea can get you in tricky spots. What if the flop misses you? Are you leading out any flop? If you do get flatted when you lead out as a bluff do you shut down?

Just seems that this hand is better off raised pre (maybe complete AA/KK/QQ vs unknown to induce, still i would raise these 9/10)

Complete is fine the way I play. It's tricky postflop is you raise and he calls, and this way the hand is misrepresented.

Not sure about postflop. May be overplaying TPGK. Granted, he can't put you on a good ace and he does not have AJ-AK. Possible, to play it softer to induce action and for pot control.

I don't mind the line at all, I think you can get looked up fairly light bc it looks so FOS

as a standard I'd raise pre, cbet flop and check/call down

i think its not bad, i think your dynamic here is pretty important. if he sees you as a random its one thing; as a reg, another.

turn may be a bit much, i dont know what you want to happen when you c/r. are you expecting folds? what worse will flat here? i think he can play too well vs you after that
