Hey guys, villain is a regular and a good one as well. His stats are 20/15 with AF of 3.7 over 1350 hands. We play back at each other a decent amount and he's one of the better players at this stake. I was wondering whether or not I should just flat his 3 bet because I'm positive that my hand crushes his range, but then again I would be kicking myself if he had some sort of draw that I should have made him pay for. Should I have flatted his bet and hoped he bets on the turn? His fold indicated to me that he was either bluffing or had some sort of Q. I'm thinking K,Q or Q,J. He probably would have 3 bet me with A,Q.

i like how you played it. i might even raise a bit more on the flop because that certainly prices in draws.

you can't flat his raise here. you're out of position, and you're going to have to lead the turn because you simply cannot risk it going check-check. and donking the turn is probably more suspicious/big handish than a flop 3bet which you could be making with a draw.

unfortunately he didn't have anything here, but you played it goot. maybe even make it $50 on your 3bet

Bet a little more on the flop. Everything else is fine.

$7-8 on the flop, if he's decent he'll think you're trying to buy the pot and raise to $25.

Then if you know him well(specifically how he plays a flush draw on the flop, which you should if you got 1350 hands with him) you could call and shove any turn(lots of redraws). Otherwise if you want max value either shove or put in a tricky 3bet minraise? I love messing with people's heads like this if they're decent and played many hands with me... ;-)

Bet more on flop, and since we're a little deep I like a bigger 3bet on the flop, otherwise good line

really standard, don't flat his raise. in position, maybe

I never play pot-limit but I'd think you'd want to be c-betting larger to build a pot or something. OOP def 3bet this.r
