Villain is a decent reg. Not super creative in general but he views me as quite aggressive and plays back at me a fair amount with lots of 3bet etc.
He does not valuebet very thinly but still not bad either.

About pre:
I think I tend to call waaaay to loose when stacks get this deep. A4o is obv not a very good hand but stacks are 200bb deep so there is a lot of room for postrflop play, but it still kinda sucks so fold? And how loose would you call here in the first place?

Flop std:

Turn:
I would probaby float AK, AQ, AJ most of % of the time so A4 probably goes somewhere in the middle of my range here so can/should we just fold here? I decided to call anyway..

River:
His stats suggests that he follow through quite a lot OTR, even if the sample is not huge. He does however not barrel too loose OTT, but I know he is aware that I will peel the flop somewhat light so I would think he is 2barrelng lighter against me than what his overall stats suggest.

When I jam I suppose I am mainly trying to get him hands that he his bluffing with that has me beat, KK-AA for value (too optimistic?) and JJ-QQ but those I higly doubt he'd fold. I don't think he has too many flushes seeing as I have the Ace of clubs.

But two problems though:
I do not know with good certainty if/how often he does bluff here.
I do not know if I can get him off any of his valuehands for sure.

So thoughts on each street?

hi.

Preflop: Marginal but ok. I don't think deep stacks make this a great call - I prefer calling it at 100bb but whatever, doesn't matter too much. He gives u great odds, I'm not sure how wide his restealing range in these positions are though. His range should be slightly stronger on average when deep but I could be wrong about this especially if you are opening BU relentlessly.

Flop: Standard call

Turn: So many draws out there, sometimes he might even just randomly 2-barrel AK/AQ here.

River: I think a re-shove here is reasonable. I don't know how often he folds but you should just examine your own strategy instead for the river.

What's your value range? What air could you possibly have? Of course if you have all AXo preflop and you are always shoving here with A:cX your frequencies are going to be too out of line.

Very hard to say since this is not a very common spot. But given the board texture I guess I would raise most of my sets OTT, so that would leave my river range to flushes only.

I should probably not call A4o here pre maybe, so I'd call something like A9o+, leaving me with 3 combos of bluffs OTR, if I jamall those Ax with the nutflush blocker.

But I don't think that has any relevance at all tbh since we will so rarely encounter this spot and the only thing we should be concerned about is if we can get villain to fold anything.

So all in all do you like my riverjam?

your own range is certainly relevant - I don't like going for exploitive plays when I am not even certain how often my opponent is going to be folding.

It just helps you to minimize costly mistakes.

I guess you are repping mostly Ac2c+ and some 7cXc QhJh type of hands. He's getting close to 25% pot odds.

AcXc - 8 combos
7cXc - 4 combos
QhJh - 1 combo
5c6c - 1 combo

I guess having something like 4-5 bluff combos of AcX is reasonable. But bluff shoving here like 100% of the time with AcX may be going overboard. I do agree that this is a rare spot but it's dependent on your image and the dynamics vs him.
