Hello.

I hope someone will comment this hand. Flop and turn standard x/c. On what range you guys will give him here? Now when i look it back it is easy fold. I don't beat any hand otr bet : QQ, KK, AK-split, flush came, KQ. He probably would Xb with AQ, KJ, TT and JJ he would Xb ott probably. Even if i look from his perspective he would Xb if he has some middle strenght hand and i call twice. So he could think that i have TP or maybe a flush.

But now i know what range he got from UTG :

MP2 25.00% 22.32% 2.68% { 66+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, J9s+, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, AJo+, KQo }

So should i start 3bet for value AK against this guy? How would you adapt vs his range? His Ft3b is 0: small sample but he call (co and bu) 3 times IP versus blind 3bet him.

Usually there is some merit to call AKo vs UTG. This is why it`s not valid here:
UTG opener is 23/20 over a somewhat usable sample
Game is 6max
We are in the worst position
We do not have the initiative by flatting
Flatting OOP to check/fold a non A/K board is terrible.

3 bet preflop is better imo.

Losing 40bb with TPTK is not horrible. Don't assume people are not bluffing. He'd sure as hell have bluffed what he had there (and had been right to do so) had a diamond not come.

vs 66+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, J9s+, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, AJo+, KQo
Flat pre. That's a tight range, normal is 14-17%

As played river's close, people under bluff rivers, but vs that sizing I'd still call, you block KdXd, some AA KQ and it's reasonably high in your range.

by checking turn you get him the chance to check back turn and draw easy eg: gutshot,flushdraw

as played he has the initiative all the hand
on river your pot odds are just 25%... i would call and look him up
