Im not really sure how to play this hand correctly.

Because we are so deep it is not +EV to stack off, and I lose so much EV on the turn.

Villan has 17% 3b, so his range is a lot wider than AAxx

You're 250 bets deep out of position, there is no correct way to play the hand other than to move seats. :f_biggrin:

You're looking for better ways to play the hand and there just isn't. It's one of the problems with being out of position so deep. Let's take the checkraise on the flop. If you don't checkraise then you give a free card on the turn if you don't hit a king. If you do checkraise then you isolate yourself against better hands a lot of the time. So you're setting up a 'win a small pot, lose a big pot' situation against the other big stack.

I agree with not 4 betting preflop with junk kings, you're going to be forced off the best hand a lot of the time post flop, even though villain is pretty aggressive and on average you're going to be good preflop a lot of the time.

So do you think then that its better to take a passive line here. I feel on the flop I have the best hand a lot, and I have blockers to a flush so he doesn't get the best odds to draw.

What am I trying to hit though?

I'm not happy with a flush and if an A hits I am dead sometimes as well (i certainly don't want to bet) and without something like a 2 pairing the turn/river I really can't bet any more streets.

I think that maybe I should c/r as a semi bluff and then give up. I don't feel I can credibly bluff a player that is this crazy off even 1p w/ a FD.

On the flop, yes I prefer a passive line. You have what I consider to be a bluff catcher because you have very poor visibility with your hand (you have no idea if you are ahead or behind on the flop, and if you bet this flop and get called, there are way too many turn cards where you have an even tougher decision to make).

If you are ahead villain will likely shut down on the turn or at least not pot the turn (players are usually quite unbalanced like this) so you can save yourself some money in situations where it is bad for you and villain does pot the turn.
