46hand 33/20/5,3

PF: is ok defend here TT? I counted I would should defend 2,65% with my cold calling range and TT include to this range - its this GTO attitude ok on the micros?
F: if he cbet for example 1/2p should i just fold?
T: i think there is ok call his small delayed cbet, but i dont know because most of player cbet airs on the flop, on this good A high scarying board. So i dont know if he have OTT some blufs in range?

MP2 action looks really strong. He may be unaware of position, but still he isn't 3betting a lot (neither squeezing I guess) even though we just have few hands.

Calling OOP could be fine, but is something like set mining relying on the fact he has a strong range, and if we get a second pair only (as here) it could be sick to play in x/c or something similar.

Folding is safer imho.

You're basically trying to play the hand 4value by checking and hoping he's betting with worst hands. Imho that's wrong considering his range. When he checks back here he's likely to have something like a 2nd pair. He's cbetting a lot of air (probably) and also all the high aces, so once he checks he could have nothing, a weak ace or a 2nd pair.

Your TT is beaten imho. A good plan could be that of betting very large on both turn and river. He could be calling one and folding the river though this depends a lot on his postflop tendencies (which are unknown).

I know it's sick to transform a value hand into a bluff, but here you don't really have any option: playing "check-and-hope-he's-checking-too" is a way in which it's easy to loose a lot of money. x/calling the flop versus a 1/2 pot bet isn't that good because his range looks really strong, there are a lot of aces in his range, while 99-QQ are probably checking so the cbet looks a lot 4value.

That's why I prefer folding preflop. If you call, you play in setmining or you get into big truouble. Here is easier to bluff ;)

Preflop given that we don't know how often villain likes to squeeze but because we know his stats are wide and with the dead money in the pot I think we have the odds to call.

On the flop, to answer your question you need to know how often he c-bets flop and to have an accurate reading you need a lot more hands played against this villain, but from my experience someone who bets 1/2 pot after he squeezes to me that shows weakness so I don't think you should fold, actually on that board I would at least call or raise to represent a set or a strong FD.

His bet on the turn shows a lot of weakness, I would raise villain on that blank.
