Vs unk.

Never sure what to do in situations when I have a hand like this on dry boards. I don't think I'm really comfortable x/c flop...should I be? My hand has more SDV than say the SCs in my range, but with those I'm often blocking V's folding range of mid PPs.

My 3b range pre would be something like AA-77, AJo+, AK-A9s, 78s+, J9s+...As an aside, is this too wide to be 3betting? It's basically my 3b range vs a BTN open but with a few hands taken out, but maybe not enough.

I think that 3bet range is fine. I actually go a little wider myself, but not much. I also struggle in these spots sometimes. I think with AJo I either take one stab at it on the flop and then give up if the turn doesn't help my range or I check call one street and see what the turn brings. AQ, AK I definitely check/call. QJ-KQ I look to stab for sure, especially if I have bdfd.

As played, the turn doesn't change much and so I probably shut it down. We will have to find some bluffs here though, just not sure what they should be. I guess more of the suited connector type hands because we block his middle pairs with those.

I think this is a flop where you can bet with your entire range. The general population will most likely be under-defending on this kind of flop texture. Also, villain shouldn't really be folding any pairs on the flop, so I think that most villains will be calling with all pocket pairs.

I think the turn is fine also, AK/AQ would be better as check/calls. River's a pretty easy check/fold.

edit: Your 3bet range is fine imo, except for the QTs. You could probably go a little wider if you wanted to though.

Line looks ok.Size could be change.Its fine combo to bluff river because it blocks JJ and ATs which is 4 standard calling combos for him
