Yew much better to give those behind you better odds to call.

Hmm i start to question what the goals of his posts is. He is posting HH of him playing FOP( fish optimal poker) and he doesn't react on normal strategic answers.
It can have 2 reasons. 1. He likes to troll 2. He truly believes that his way of playing is the holy grail.
I bet you a hundred dollars, that he is the guy that 4bets with T9o, stacks you after calling and starts chatting you are a fish!
Billy, am i right, did you did that already?

Op wants an echo chamber

OP - you are a great player and everyone who tries to tell you otherwise is wrong.

Now that you’ve seen what you wanted to (and probably won’t read this part anyway) we should be more interested in 3 betting PF when we are not closing the action. You want to, at the very least isolate heads up with the opener, and taking down the pot without a flop is also not a bad outcome. You make going heads up much less likely by flatting the open since you give bb great odds to call and you make taking down the pot preflop impossible. If you were bb and closing action, (assuming everyone else folded) I would think the flat would be a better play - you are underrepping your holding and can maybe get paid off more when you hit the flop.

It still is probably better to three bet; you can more credibly bluff when you miss since you don’t cap your range, you get more money in the pot so you make more if villain calls and folds the flop, and you give yourself a chance to win the pot without a flop. Further, in a hand like this you would have made your river decision much easier had you three bet. You would have built a bigger pot by the river (I hate to question an expert such as you, but why the heck didn’t you fire another barrel ott? That would also have made the river easier). With a bigger pot you can easily call off the river jam with top 2 - there are enough combos like AJ, QJ or maybe even a spazzy AK that villain might take this line with. AP it’s a really difficult decision (at 2NL I’d lean toward a call due to the spaz factor, but in silver land you probably have to fold). Playing earlier streets correctly could have saved you this tough decision.

Great play - no need to ask as you are the NL2 god.

Beating a dead horse here buddy. TBH I don't think anyone would miss your replies either if you went away.

love you too

I would typically advise to simplify your strategy by not playing any cold calls from any position other than the BB, especially with the rake being as high as it is at 2NL. You can deviate from this if you have fish in the blinds but even then I would still rather 3 bet AQo as it has quite mediocre equity realisation in a multiway pot and plays much better in a heads up 3 bet pot.

Flop is fine.

Bet the turn as played. You can still get called by lots of Ax/worse 2 pair/pair + draw.

I would raise bigger vs the 25% river probe and fold to the shove as played.
