Played this one as a donk, villan got a high barrel freq over 200 hands, so it gives an idea of his playstyle. But vs this type of opponent I should be worried (about 80% cbet and a high turn freq lowsample) when he check backs the flop, usually I like to overbet in this type of spot as villan should normaly be on the bluffcatching end of hands. But vs this guy I should bet smaller overall with my entire range.

Whats his VPIP/PFR?

On river he can have smth like 45s for a straight or a set that he got on turn or river or was slowplaying.

I like the way you played this hand. I would pretty much the same. Just thinking in what did you ran into? =) Was it KK, 88, 33, 45s, K2s, K3s or even 22? :)))

45s wasn't really what I did put in his range, he would always cb such a hand basicly nutlow. 35/26 is his vpip pfr.

I’m not sure why you are over betting the river. This way you get only action of better and I think it’s more profitable to bet 3k and call if you think he will change often his hand in a bluff.

You left you poker stars name on the river section if you want to edit that out.

I don't like the river bet, it will only be called with stronger hands, and when pushes, he doesn't have much fold equity when he shoves, so prob has us beat.
Since I have AA,KK,AK in his range still, I would bet 50% on river, if raised I'd call, if shoved on fold.

Bet small to get calls from Kx. Fold vs raise.
The bigger you bet the less weaker hands will (should) call. If you are beating alot of strong hands - overbetting is fine because the times you get called will make up for the weaker part of his range that will fold.

What is he checking the flop with? Weak pair of As or Ks for pot control and AK+ for trap and maybe some gutshots and underpairs that would give up OTR anyway. Your overbet gets value only from top pairs. You really value own yourself with that play.

If you have a sure read that he plays every Ax the same way I dont mind your overbet but still its the same as a smaller bet.

Why did you call? Do you think hes ever bluffing or value shoving with worse?

Well at the moment the hand was played I probably thought in the stage of that his range is capped, and versus a capped range we want to have bigger postflop sizing, I could have donked the flop and be ready to trippel barrel if things dosen't change to dramaticly.
