Hero ???

Villain is a good TAG, i wanted to donk alittle and ended up playing him two tables because i got stuck very fast (good reason). I played pretty bad the whole session, 3/4betting way too much he didn't 4bet me once but called most/nearly all my 3bets and 4bets and adjusted pretty good postflop. I saw him slowplay his really strong hands as i've been alittle overaggro the whole session and respected his raises.

tough spot. the only aces i see in his range are the nfd, A9, or maybe AQ. i think you would probably get most value here by c/cing so he can fire with his missed draws, or c/f if you dont see him bluffing these that often. i dont really like a bet though b/c if you fire here your hand is going to look huge since your not afraid of the ace. he can't really put you on many missed draws either b/c most would have c/r'd the flop

c/c

Also, 3-bet preflop 100% against someone who calls most of your 3-bets. You're almost never dominated with KQ and dominate a huge part of his calling range.

I'm not sure what you're doing on the flop tbh... I check-fold (or c/r if i wanna get tricky)

Don't check call the flop with no hand and no draw when playing heads up no limit poker at the 100NL ranks.

I forgot to mention he gave up quite some hands at turn, especially on more lower/draw heavy boards hence the float on this one.

The reason i called here was because i was 3betting alot and as he expected me to 3bet this p/f i wanted to call here and know i would get value out of any K/Q. Even with that i would've 3bet, and at these stakes should've but i didn't with this hand.

I check/call here more often than I vbet... not because I fear the ace, but because it gives a lot of missed draws hope of being able to bluff you off. This is a spot where I check/snapcall. Of course this line has the added bonus of limiting your losses when behind.

That aside, I really have no idea why you aren't 3betting and why you are floating OOP with K-high. It's just not profitable.

3-bet pre, don't float flop OOP

If played like you did, check/call the river to get money out of bluffs and limit your losses if he does have a better hand.
