like 6-7 SPR otf with tp? really not LOVING it if stacks go in, depending on reads either letting it go to aggression or calling it off.
Knowing this OTF (you should be thinking this otf and planning for turn/river decisions)
i would take a pot control route and bet 1/3, 1/3. I dont think the straight draws hit his range hard, so u dont need to bet big to charge, at any rate 1/3 denies ,anyway.

as, played you committed yourself, if you bet smaller and he jams turn its an easy fold (or call, based on reads- vs non maniacs i fold)

Spark notes: decide OTF if ur playing for stacks, if not, dont pick sizings that put you in weird commitment spots

Bet/fold turn. Calling off here is hoping villain has same hand which you block. Going to run into a set here more often than not. Remember, CO is in position so he is incentivised to flat all his draws so less likely he does this with a draw. Also why he is going to start bluffing you on this board? What does your value range look like? It looks like AK/KK/AA/KQs..this isn't a range people are going to try and bluff too often in a 3 bet pot 120bb deep. Really try and think what your range looks like to villain, then ask yourself how likely is it villain thinks he can get me to fold any of my value hands here. If the answer is unlikely we can start exploitatively folding a lot.

I am only calling here if I think villain is crazy/whale and can have a worse K. For the most part this is a comfortable fold.

To sum up...

1) Your range is protected/strong = not good for villain to bluff.
2) Villain has good odds & position to just flat with his draws = less likely to bluff.
3) Turn raising ranges are generally pretty nutted = one pair massively decreases in value.


Hope this helps
