Villain is a reg - 16/13/16 over 93 hands and I spectated him 2-barrel OOP as preflop 3betr twice already.
Preflop: this deep IP against a seemingly LAG reg i don't see a reason to 4bet such a strong drawing hand. seeing the flop 3way OOP vs unknown BTN isn't ideal but neither is inflating the pot this deep and narrowing the LAG's range.


Flop: Expecting villain to cbet nearly 100% of his range here. Being this deep I feel that if villain does have an ace I can put him in really difficult spots if another spade drops or the 7-9 chunk of the board becomes more coordinated as I can easily rep spades as well as marginal suited connectors. IMO being this deep makes floating here MUCH better than if we were 100bb deep.


Turn: Here's where Villains range became a little shady. Do we expect villain to be 2barreling with air here? My Ax wouldn't fold often and a lot of my drawing hands slightly improved so we should expect villain to slow down with his air here, right? However, I still think that I have a lot of bluff outs like any spade, another J, an 8, a Q (in this case Villains AQ is getting blocked in two places) and that there is still a debatable chance villain is 2barreling light and could check back bricked rivers. Also, asides from all this I do still have 4 outs, 3 of them being the nuts.


River: Why can't floats always end with hero donking the nuts? IMO this is a great spot to polarize my range and just rip all our chips in. Betting smaller looks stronger since I would be jamming all my bluffs in this spot. I can rep missed spades here extremely well as it should be more common than having an 8 here. If villain somehow has an 8 here he won't fold and I wouldn't be surprised to see villain hero call a set, two pair, or maaaaaaybe even top pair here.

My main concern in this pot is in regards to the float on the turn.

When you float the flop what do you plan on representing on the turn? The answer is nothing which is why you should raise the flop or fold (definitely raise). OTT, I would raise to represent AA/JJ/AJs although all these hands you are only somewhat likely to hold. This hand makes a pretty decent cold 4bet too.

Fold flop. Also 16/13 is not a lag

This can definitely be a 4Bet pre. Flop is a fold.
