Villain seems to be active aggro type player.

We get monster hand pre and 3bet. Flop I went for x-c. We dont have bdfd though but still too strong hand to x-f. Cbetting doesnt really achieve much beside bloating pot with marginal hand.

As villain check flop it often limits 2 pair+ and strongest draws quite a bit. So I decided to delayed cbet on turn and get potted. Its bad to have nfd blocker but also somewhat unlikely villain has improved with 2. Some 22 possible but more questionable if villain would raise with weak two pairs. Just didnt believe this line enough and decided to shove.

Well it might be theory wise spot to just go for x-c again but thing is people rarely slowplay stuff like top set on flop.

I think I would like to fold. He needs much equity with a Draw to do this. Anyway You have the Ace high blocker , Probably in this case he has made hand.

In HU all non-nut flushes go up in value a lot. While Ac blocker is nice, in HU it's value is not as strong as in 6max. Problem here is that it's hard for hero to have strong hands, at least from opponents view. So he could raise wide range of Qxxx, 9xxx hands as semibluff (aggro as he is).

He could also have Q9 or set, especially if he has a straight draw (oesd or gutter) with it. I think I would just fold flop, as it's a spot where in best case scenario hero is small favorite and in worst case scenario hero is drawing couple outers.

Fold, and get info that either opponent traps flop ip or raises eagerly when hero's range seems to be capped.

Yeah it depends lot on whatever villain is good enough to slowplay stuff. As said though very marginal spot at best. Question is if we should bet turn in first place or go for x-c?

This time villain had something like JT53 with fd so quite a combo draw. More or less flipping.

At least after this hand don't put yourself in that situation. :)

In HU the beginning of the match is where we try to figure out what the opponent is. Therefore I don't hate the turn bet, if we don't know much about our opponent. Theorywise it opens the door for opponent to raise and see how we react, so as default I would check-call turn. Lot of rivers where opponent shouldn't be happy to bluff, and check back = we realize our turn equity nicely.
