So I encountered with this really tough spot and I would like you to let me know what you should have done on that spot. Remember we are both over 200BB's deep. The villian is unknown so it makes it more interesting.

    ^that seems bad

    Very standard up until the river.

    My perception is that people generally aren't bluffing/value-betting worse often enough in this spot to make calling +EV, so I'd fold river.

    If you know/strongly suspect villain can be value raising flop with top pair or triple barrel bluffing, then call.

    hmmm I really dont see why he cant have AJ/AQ here. That being said its probably very close to a break even call.

    Ehhhhhhhh I dont think random 10NL players ever raise OTF here with AJ, MAAAYBE with AQ... I'd be fairly certain villain has a boat here OTR.

    Funny thing, the only hand i can put him on are sevens, or 56s.
    Do You use HUD? Do You have ANY stats on villain? (Does he have any on You)?
    Imho WP, good fold.
    I don't think he could play any hand that You beat that fashion, unless he went mad with AJ/AQ (And i don't see AJ calling UTG raise then raising that flop from smart player)

    Edit if he is tricky he could also play 45s, and if i add that kind of marginal holdings then why not treys

    Well played.

    3-betting flop is pretty bad.

    Hmm. Well played. Sizing looks like he is hoping you have exactly what you have.

    77 or 33 could play this way (calling 33 vs tight UTG range might be good). Maybe some A7/A3 suited if he is loose or the players still to act were stations.

    Doubt Ax is doing this vs UTG open. So its nuts or nothing and for me its nut heavy readless. I'd fold this then get annoyed when he turns out to be a maniac betting and raising all sorts of ****.

    He can, but you need info that he does before calling down.
