Hi.

I think your squeeze size is a little too large, I would make it 12 only, and do so with a wide range including some broadways and sometimes suited connectors (if they fold to 3Bs enough of the time).

I don't like the bet check bet line. What worse hands do you expect to call you? There's no way there's value in a river bet. We lose to AQ which is a good part of BU's range. He doesn't have too many suited AXs, not after you made him have to call 11$ more.

Instead, we want him to bluff the River with some of his broadway gutshot floats like KQs KJs QJs which might have checked the Turn to test if you have nothing on the River. Our hand is too weak to bet, and too strong to fold, so bet Flop c/c R would be my preferred line.

Thanks.

True about the sizing,a bit smaller would do the trick
My problem was that why didn't he 3b pre vs the fish? never put him on an AQ there ,maybe sometimes AT but even that he should 3b.
With the bet/check/bet line i tried to rep a stupid play maybe a hand that decided to bluff river when he checks,maybe he would hero call.

Agree about the the xc river to bluffcatch.

Thx

I believe that not 100% of the regulars 3bet looser value ranges to isolate the fish.

I think ur point is very true. I would expect only the stronger regs to thin value 3bet here and the mediocre ones often flat aq here.
