villain:
pf is a std sqz, I guess. Never want to call such a high-card OOP in MWP, it plays terrible there. I either win a small pot or loose a big one. I might sometimes call AQsuited for balance and when hit an Ax play it like a weak ace/bluffcatcher. But, since balancing on NL5 is like going to a brothel for a hug, I always squeeze here.
I don't see much value in CBetting this Flop. His range is primarily hands, which he didn't want to stack-off with, so AK-AQ, maybe AJ, 88-KK, KQ. He has a low Ft3b and even though the sample is low, he might sometimes have hands like SC, lower PP, other suited broadays, depending on what exactly he calls. By playing it x/c, I look like JJ-KK and he might want to get me off the pot. Give him a chance to bluff with his air. Against AJ-AK, I still get the money in and against other parts of his range, I have no value in CBetting.
His T sizing is pretty scary, I was hoping for a xback or a 1/3 pot bet, and now he looks like the single AA combo, AK, maybe AJ. But I still don't see how I can play that differently, since a person with likely a low Ft3b might have some FDs and I don't see any more reason to call with that SPR.
