We dont have any information on villain all we know is he is breakeven player on abi 4$ over 5k games in last 4 years.

Turn spot feels really awkward we cant really call turn with intention of folding river leaving ourselves 1/3 psb left? Do you just calldown in that spot without any reads hoping villain is overbluffing?

Maybe raise flop. Call turn. Gii on river.

Actually, why not cbet flop. Can't be afraid of shadows.

cbet flop. c/r flop

By playing the hand the way you did , you have no idea where your at in the hand

why on earth would we check raise the flop

don't fold

+1

Fine up to turn
Call some, fold some ott.
Shouldnt be too concerned about being exploited in such spots in $20 tourney but I guess $4 abi player can have a lot weird hands there.

GT wise having As is good

This is never a fold. You should call turn and hope he jams the river. Why are you checking the flop if not to induce a bluff? Your hand looks like AK.

exactly what do you expect to happen when you check the flop ?
Obviously you are giving him an opportunity to take a shot at a decent sized pot

Yeh, cbetting is probably better, but the line OP took isn't that bad.

Never fold, and never fold any pp you 3-bet for value here.

Hero has 2x pot left in a 3bet pot checking flop seems fine.

It's OK, but hero's range should be like JJ+/AK and bluffs. Bluffs that didn't make trips would likely cbet the flop representing JJ+. This is an excellent flop for JJ+, which should also cbet unless trapping.

I'm not sure a break even player over 5k games with a $4 abi is thinking much about our range but will try to bluff us off the pot a fair bit when we check.

Understood, but cbet flop /check turn represents you missed the flop much better. Even against a random, it might be better to take a believable line.

If we check back AA on the flop here, what hands are we betting? I kind of think we should be c-betting our entire range here since it really isn't that big to begin with.

Bet flop, or raise turn, i dont think villain here is often with 77, qx, and he could easily bet 88,99,10-10, 10-10. By calling You dont know where u are. Betting flop ia the easy way to find where u are

No it represents Betgo with an overpair who realized he only needs 2 streets to get chips in and being unsure his overpair is any good now.

Representing user after a lot of losing sessions. I said gii on this board.

im still waiting to hear explaination of the check raise thought

Opponents range should look a bit like AQ/ suited broadways and mid pocket pairs.

This isn't a slam dunk cbet entire range on the flop spot when MP3 calls open and then calls 3bet. B/B/B ends up being kind of thin, particularly on a turn 7.

That being said, I would x/c down with AA.
