Pretty interesting hand. I decided to check the flop cause it is important to always have balanced ranges. Sometimes i will want to check/call this board with maybe an AAKx hand and in order to not be too vulnerable to barreling it is a good thing to have some strong hands as well. He also was fairly agressive and after my flopcheck I expect him to bluf a very big percentage of his range, at least on the flop.
Plan doesnt really change much on the turn.
The river, however is a very interesting card for us. It brings out a possible flush and full house now. Our relative and absolute hand strength got weakened severely. It is very possible for him to have rivered a flush as well. Still I think we are ahead of his range, cause it still is reasonably wide but we have to stop and think about what our perceived range is. We c/c 2 streets, we ALWAYS have showdown value here. Not many people would expect someone to turn straights into bluffs here. If we shove, we rep a lot of strength since we have no air in our range and they dont expect us to bluff medium-strength hands. Combined with the fact that we can easily have something like QJT/JT9 the river is a clear shove for us. Especially if we take into account that he almost never will barrel sets/2p on this board, he will take a potcontrolling line.
So our shove is to ofc get hands like AK/flushes to fold with having a fairly low risk of him having a boat. This while we can rep a strong hand really well. He tanked for about 20 seconds and folded. I most likely got him to fold a strong flush.

I 3bet IP, BB overcalls which means a lot of medium-high rundowns or BBBB hands. He donks out on a very dry-lockdown board. His sizing is very small cause he can put a lot of leverage on us. UTG has to play really straight forward with me behind him, so with this small betsize he can still pressure him a lot and what will do with a lot of my 3bet range here?
His bet is rly polarised tho, he either has the board crushed or hes gonna have fairly low equity against my hand. Either 78xx/ 567 or 89T/complete air. So I decided to go into call-down mode. I would probably fold to a bet on a heart river tho.
