The villain is totally unknown, not even a stat box on him.

Thoughts?

PokerStars - $0.50 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 96 BB
Hero (SB): 152.12 BB
BB: 101.5 BB
UTG: 75.4 BB
MP: 102.74 BB
CO: 102.52 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♣ A♠

fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 2 BB, Hero raises to 12 BB, fold, BTN calls 10 BB

Flop: (25 BB, 2 players) K♣ J♦ K♥
Hero bets 8.32 BB, BTN raises to 16.64 BB, fold

BTN wins 39.56 BB

I think I have more K in my range than him yet he is min raising me on flop.

Plus he is an unknown so, hence the snap fold.

May be I should check flop? I bet to charge SD but we block it somewhat.

A 6x 3bet seems really big and I think 4x seems big enough, but as played it's really tough to fold AA on a min raise. Even if you think you have only 2 outs on turn and river.

Cheers,

I think on boards like this you can check your whole range.
We have more nuts than he does so our range doesn't need too much protection and on our stakes 25-100NL players tend to stab a bit too much at missed cbets anyways.

As played villain should be mergeraising hands like AJ, QJs, Kx, some draws like JTs/ATs on boards like this against your rangebet on flop.
Your fold is highly exploitable.

I don't have PIO, maybe one can run this?
