SB: $345.60 (86.4 bb)
BB: $434.25 (108.6 bb)
UTG: $707.16 (176.8 bb)
MP: $329.62 (82.4 bb)
Hero (CO): $602 (150.5 bb)
BTN: $406 (101.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q A
UTG raises to $12, MP calls $12, Hero raises to $48, 3 folds, UTG calls $36, MP calls $36

Flop: ($150) 6 J Q (3 players)
UTG checks, MP checks, Hero bets $72, UTG calls $72, MP folds

Turn: ($294) 7 (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $152, UTG raises to $576, Hero?? (330 to call)

(MP 75/25 fish)

Villain: 29/22
25% open UTG (3.5k hands sample)
40% fold to 3bet (calls 3bets a ton, so he'll be very wide here)

46/43 fold to cbet%
48/38 ag%
28 WTS

Villain is a bit spewy. On one occasion he jamed KTs CO vs my MP open, on another one he jamed A3s BTN vs my UTG raise, this without any loose dynamics for 3betting/4betting in these positions. He also views me as quite aggressive.

At this point though, we had actually established loose dynamics for getting it in here, but with the fish in the pot he should flat his strong hands a lot more, but I honestly doubt he realizes that.

Need 26% for a call OTT.


Board: J♠6♥Q♣ 7♥
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    22.66%  22.66%   0.00% { AQo }
MP3    77.34%  77.34%   0.00% { JJ, 66, QJs, AhKh, AhTh, KhTh, Th9h }

my equity goes down to ~21% if we add QQ.
19.5% when adding one combo of AA and KK.
2 combos of each makes it 18.5%

This is however the bottom of my valuebetting range, and my perceived range should be strong here. But I do however have 16 combos of AK here in my betting range which I do think he expects me to have too. And he has done some spewy moves before so I think we probably can add a few more combos of some random semibluffs in his range too, worse than those I have already included.

I think against the average reg this is a fold, but against this guy it is superclose imo, probably leaning towards a call.

Thoughts?

Preflop and flop are good.

- getting 3:1
- vilain's sizing: polarized. bottom range is QJ
- hero's perceived range: very strong even with the dynamic described. it's 3way with a fish involved and COvMPvEP.

- value range:
sets 4/7
QJ 4/6 (you said he open 25% and folds only 40%. he prolly has QJo close to 100% actually)
wtf hands (KK+, 76s) 1
=================
10ish combos
-> 3-4 bluffs/worse combos to find.

- Bluffing range
Vilain is not getting in worse right? KQ/AQ are not playing this way i think.
The problem is also that we're not on the river so his bluffs - unless he spazz out TT - will still have between 10 and 20% equity.
Only bluffs i can see are
AJhh, KJhh, JThh, J9hh, AThh, T9hh
AK - given dynamic i dont expect vilain to show up with AK in that spot.
very rare spew with Jx

Doesnt leave many combos. There are probably 10-15 combos vilain could bluff but we need vilain to play/take this line over 50% frequency-wise.

- GTO-wise:
Vilain risks 482 to win 446, so his bluffs has to work 52% of the time, making hero defend 48%.
I dont think AQ belongs to top 48% of your range in that spot. Probably top 20-30%.
I guess I was wrong, it's closer than I thought. Assuming your turn betting range is {JJ+, AQ+} Hero will have to call 2-3 combos of AQ (unless you have other hands in that spot that are better bluffcatcher than AQ - I can't think of any though).

AdQs type of AQ's > AoQh also - since hero doesnt block hands vilain could decide to gamble with {KQhh, AQhh, QThh}.
Plus, I doubt your turn betting range includes even 50% of AK here - which makes your turn betting range even stronger/doesnt require you to bet/call AQ.
With your hand:
Board: QcJs6h7h
Equity Win Tie
MP2 19.92% 19.92% 0.00% { AdQh }
MP3 80.08% 80.08% 0.00% { 66, AsAc, KhKs, QdQs, JhJc, QJs, AhKh, AhQh, KhQh, AhTh, JhTh, Th9h, QJo }

Without Qh vs the same range
Board: QcJs6h7h
Equity Win Tie
MP2 24.43% 22.22% 2.21% { AdQs }
MP3 75.57% 73.36% 2.21% { 66, AsAc, KhKs, QdQs, JhJc, QJs, AhKh, AhQh, KhQh, AhTh, JhTh, Th9h, QJo }

Also, unless vilain calls down Jx, KQ, AT I think AQ is probably too thin in that spot. Might be wrong though.
