Preflop: Standard open and value 4bet. The BB plays 18/13 in 83 hands and 3bets 11,1% (28,6% vs Hero). Maybe the size could be a bit bigger since we are deeper. When he called, I think his range is AQ+, AK, QQ-JJ and occassionally KK+ and TT.
Flop: Not the greatest flop because he might have sets there, but he also has alot of AQ, AK and KQ, I believe. I think cbetting is optimal, but not sure how to react to raise. I feel like I should fold because I can't see him value raising AQ, KK or bluffing AK.
Turn: If I was ahead on the flop, I probably still am. When he called the flop, I believe he has something like AQ, KQ and occasionally AK, KK and TT. Sometimes he would slowplay sets, but I expect them to raise on that board on the flop. So, I decided to target those one pair hands and AK. Since it's hard to expect them to call 2 barrels in 4bet pot OOP, I decided to bet smaller. At the same time the plan was to fold if he raises because I don't see him bluffing or value raising worse, especially when I block AsKs. So with those smaller bet I give myself a chance to fold vs his shove.
River: Very interesting card because AQ and KQ came there, so the plan was to fold if he donks. When he checks, the first instinct was to check back, but then I realised that there is no point for him to check Qx because he should expect me to call almost 100% of my range, so no need for him to slowplay. At that point I put him on AK, KK and TT so decided to shove.
