RIVER ($1,800) A♣ 2♥ 5♠ 2♦ 4♣

SB checks, Hero bets $1,100, SB folds

Hero shows 3♣ 3♦

Hero wins $1,800

villain is a winning reg, though with some leaks, one of which is that he continuation bets 100% (14/14). Small blind steal 43% (40).

pre looks standard to me. Not sure about flop. The person I discussed this with suggested raising here since villain is folding virtually everything but Ax.

I felt like the call was okay since we get similar amount of information on his hand strength based on his turn action for less money and also don't have to worry about getting shoved on and missing our chance to spike a 4.

Turn is also quite close. My feeling was that a decent part of his weak Ax range would actually be checking here and so some of the time I expect this to be just air going for a cheap double barrel tried to get me to fold the kind of hand I have or indeed just stopping me from floating. Assuming 3 or 4 are good call is probably okay.

If checked to on the River unimproved, should we be planning to check behind with sdv or turning our hand into a bluff? as played what's our optimal bet sizing? (seems like villain either has Ax or air. not sure if he would be capable of folding AT... doubt it. He might fold A6/A7 but as I say I don't think he would second barrels such hands that often)
thanks

What is your metagame BvB with this reg? I think calling pre is ok as he will bet any flop and give up on the turn unimproved, but we have to float virtually any flop as a bluff catcher. Any pair is very strong HU, so what do you think of a small re-raise preflop to take the initiative? Something like 600, the same amount you will raise with Aces or Kings to balance.

Postflop, I will just fold the turn. This is an awful card for him to be second barreling. Flop is so dry. Any hand with a showdown value and any weak ace will be checking here. Trash hands should also give up. Unless he knows that you know that this is a bad turn for a second barrel, so this way you will actually give him more credit for a hand. That's why I asked if you have any meta with him. Maybe he knows that you are floating IP a big % of his cbets and he might be trying to be a bit tricky here repping an Ace with some of his total junk hands.

Not much meta, besides catching him dbl barreling (shoving turn) on Ax87 with J9 for g/shot only...

I play it the same way vs the reg you described, except probably make a smaller river bet.

Raise flop in the spot is better when we have a worse(or a strong ofc) hand i.e JTs/T9s, something with much less sd value, especially when villain is cbet maniac.

Turn basically doesnt change anything imo. He should know you are able to float often enough flop to go for a 2nd barrel with a decent part of his range. I'd except him to either bet a bit bigger with Ax or check T and bet river as it would be reasonably hard for him to get 3streets of value vs worse hands.

River I'd probably halfish pot hoping that in the off chance he's had a weak A he'd make a crying call some of the time.

pre - flat is fine, but be prepared to float and double float a lot. you can also just 3bet jam for 30 bigs. its fine with a small pair especially if hes stealing that wide.

flop - what do you rep when you raise? would you raise/call AT for value? you obviously 3bet AQ/AK pre. you rep absolutely nothing with a flop raise on this board, just float its standard and its much stronger than raising. plan is to double float because he knows you will float hence his high 2 barrel freq, so you counter by double floating.

river. smaller
