villain is unknown; only 24 hands. and 35/26 - positional stats have no sample tho.
easy call preflop - i tend to 3bet AQ for value since people are calling a ton IP so AJ is pretty much always in my calling range.
flop is great, i'm only behind vs AA, AK, AQ and 6x so i check/call - no reason to donk imo i think he cbets this flop 100% since BU probably has all Ax.
the turn feels a bit close.. he bets quite big and i start to get that feeling in my gut like i'm being towned. so i call ♦ he can still value bet worse Ax imo. i also would like to know if you make the assumption that an unknown on nl10 will barrel turned FDs & SDs?
river bricks and i was about to check/fold. then i remembered the last few similar hands that i've posted and so i started to feel a bit unsure. his bets are so big and i have a relatively weak Ax hand. however, since i'm 3betting AQ pre then i'm at the top of my range now for getting to the river. also, all draws bricked! felt like a pretty sick spot but i just shut my eyes and made the call because of these reasons.
what are your thoughts about this hand?
