Opponent is good reg from russia, wwsf 46, w$sd 49, bet vs missed IP in 3BP 33%, in SRP 55% and continue agression.

Instead of cbet and then xC+xF mostly decide to start xC.

I though as my perceived range from his side is like these weak kings (i should cbet AK, KQ in his eyes i think, KJ-KT would be a call pre flop), hands QQ-TT.

Next though: on this dynamics i expect him to 100% 4betting with AK what reduce his Kx combinations to KQ, KJ which might valuebet 3 streets but this is quite overjudge, not sure if he should bet 3 times with KQ.

No 5x in his range, even 55 probably is a fold as he call not as much.

One pair hands bet one or two, the only hands which he should bet like that are A-high/air and weak pairs changed into the bluff, so like AJ, QJ or 77.

I wouldn't 3-bet this particular hand against a min open, and I'd make it much larger preflop. From oop we want to negate positional disadvantage as much as possible, we want to bloat the pot with our top range, and we want maximum FE with our bluff range.

Postflop villain can barrel through with at least KQ, A5s, 65s, 55 which are 12 combos. He might also have KJ, but I'd discount some of that. So on average villain could have 12+ combos of value hands.
We have no clue what part of his range he's gonna continue bluffing with on the turn, or if he even has a bluffing range there.

The uncertainty about the bluff part of his range makes me see this as a fold on the river.

All of this can be prevented by 3-betting a polarized range. We'll have a lot less marginal decisions which is highly important from oop.

way too strong to 3b pre

66 also makes sense

I think it's pretty hard to balance his range on the river, so his tendencies are probably exacerbated.

River decision depends on what range you get there with imo. If K7s is your best hand you probably should (a) call if he has bluffs and (b) strengthen your felting range when you check.

Hey Nevrex,

For the record I think preflop sizing is fine and I also think 3betting is fine. My default is to flat though, hand is strong enough for this vs a min-raise.

Flop x/c is fine.

Turn x/c is fine but marginal seeing as it's not a great bluff-card for opponent or anything.

Usually unlikely to be a good enough bluffcatcher to call three streets with no info on opponents tendencies so this is a river x/f for me.
