Preflop: Just planned to 3b/broke for value
Flop: Since I had BDNFD+overs I decided to bet/fold the flop and barrel some Q/K/A Turns. I couldn't categorize my bet as a semi bluff or a value bet really because I couldn't see any better hand folding. Perhaps some worse high cards like KQ+ would float one street IP so myabe its more a value bet than anything else.
I mainly bet because I didn't like x/f'ing or x/c'ing here even though I think villain is aggressive enough to stab with high cards IP. I think I would just find it hard to play OOP in a 3b pot and bluff induce with A-hi, plus what's my plan for the T? Probably just to x/f vs continued aggression unimproved and I can't see that being very profitable longterm.
