Hero ($123)

Dealt to Hero A♣ Q♥

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $2.50, fold, BB raises to $10, Hero calls $7.50

FLOP ($20.50) A♦ K♦ 2♣

BB bets $12, Hero calls $12

TURN ($44.50) A♦ K♦ 2♣ 8♦

BB bets $24.50, Hero raises to $101 (AI), BB calls $60.50

villain: 23/18 over 180 hands, 8% 3bet

So what's the best play here? Call and hope that villain fires river with a weaker hand, or just shove the turn, hoping to get called by worse aces?

Imo he doesn't have many bluffs in his turn-bettingrange because when we call on AKx our range is usually strong and additional to that the FD just got there.

If I want to continue I usually therefore shove the turn to
a) protect vs FDs
b) because it's hard to get value in any other way
c) if he doesn't think too much he can just think we have a FD and b/c AJ [see b)]
It is important to keep in mind that he doesn't have too many FDs in his range.

I only call the river if I think his range is strong but I have the equity to continue.
In this case the plan for the river is to fold vs a bet and shove on any river - on non-diamonds to get value from AJ and on diamonds to get AK, KK, AA and AQ (split) to fold.

Given how strong his range is, I think a fold on the turn is worth a consideration, too (even though I'd need some more reads to actually fold here).
