Villain seems nitty. Preflop,I'd probably 3b villain delinear like QQ+/AK and J7s/54s type stuff. I think QJo type hands will be dominated by villains tight range quite a bit, and put us in a lot of...

Depends on their range and tendencies. If they fold to 3b alot then 3x 3b them light all day. Some guys utg range is still super tight like 7% but they still minraise... great, now you can setmine and...

suited aces and esp. suited connectors are pretty poor hands to flat vs a 7% range imo, even if they minraise (unless your are deeper)if they're tight you don't even have to (or can) go out of your way...

Easy 3 streets of value, imo. You get called by all Ax that villain gets here with. Also, BVB, people don't like to fold top-pair, even to 3brls. I think the worst value hand I would 3brl is AQ.

Excellent post Itsatrap. What do you think about 3betting a bit larger since we are OOP. Perhaps just potting it to $1.00 or $1.10.

The K on turn should not help villain's range at all. I would min-raise turn to get value from villain's draws and worse pairs and fold if villain re-raises. As played, river is probably a fold. I'd...

Assuming you have a decent sample size on villain, he seems pretty straightforward postflop based on his stats. I remove KK from his range because I expect a preflop 3bet. I remove K9s, 99 and 66 from...

Thank you for your replies. FaceMyAlterEgo, raising the flop is an interesting idea. I was actually considering that in-game as well. I have the A, though. Does that change your flop decision at all?

Thx. U r definitely right on with the AA hand where I got my read. I should have jammed river for value. I did figure there was future value in figuring out what villain was 3betting my MP with, though.
