My thoughts on the flop:

Odd one - we block AK and AQ, but AA is definitely a factor. A lot of draws however, so I think flatting and evaluating turn is the best play. Great turn - however, it's pretty scary when he comes over the top, but going with what we think, we're either losing to AA, JT or he's got something like AT or a flush draw.

Anyone for folding here?

I think I'm flatting close to everything on the turn. V's range that bets twice for those sizings on this board is very polarized and we are only chopping with the very bottom of V's value range. To me that makes this our best bluff catcher especially given that we block some sets and all 2p. I wouldn't worry too much about raising to protect against the FD, V shouldn't have very many of those.

I'm just calling otf and otr. With that river card if he bets close to pot I still think a call is correct. If he overbets we probably have to fold. I don't hate the raise, it gives us a clear fold and we would more than likely be paying the same otr if we flat ott.

I’m folding to his 3b pre.

ott, when you raise you are rarely getting called by worse.

Alternatively you could raise flop to see where you are at before going any further. Could slow down action on later streets if you are called.

This is just my opinion. What do I know.

I wouldn't raise on the turn against a 3bettor on this board. Too much AQ, AK, AA, KK, QQ, that beat me. I don't think he calls your raise on turn with just Ax. So just call the turn to keep him wide.

We block AK, AQ, QQ and KK, so reduce his combos that dominate us but yeah think calling is the best play here.
