SB: $5.42 (54.2 bb)
BB: $15.02 (150.2 bb)
Hero (UTG): $10.77 (107.7 bb)
MP: $10.20 (102 bb)
CO: $14.75 (147.5 bb)
BTN: $12.57 (125.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K A
Hero raises to $0.30, MP folds, CO raises to $1.05, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.75

Flop: ($2.25) K 6 J (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $1.40, Hero calls $1.40

Turn: ($5.05) 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $2.90, Hero calls $2.90

River: ($10.85) 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $9.40 and is all-in, Hero calls $5.42 and is all-in

Preflop: Standard open. The 3bet size of CO is quite big, but I don't think I should fold. Standard would be to call, I think. Given the sizing, maybe I could 4bet bluff?

Flop: I hit TPTK so I think I have to check/call.

Turn: On this blank, I decided to check/call again.

River: Another blank, but I don't feel comfortable calling again. Since he looks a bit loose/aggressive in the sample size, I decided to call.

CO: 28/21/12,5/100(2)/100(2)/100(1)/158 (VPIP/PFR/3B/3BetPot_FlopCB/3BetPot_TurnCB/3BetPot_RiverCB/Hands)

easy call against wide ranges. i think our information makes it heavily towards a call and not towards soulreading and fold one time

Perhaps we should avoid soul-reading, but maybe instead have a look at the board and try to read it. What is he betting for value on the river do you think? QQ?

That board hits a 3-bettor vs UTG, if not, the betting indicates his hand could sustain itself (AA). At best a split here value-wise. Then, of course, he could be bluffing. (But then again, people in these forums say they never ever bluff.)

i don't think he's valuebetting worse, but we block AA and he could have gs/spaz combos

I also believe that he is not value betting worse. The question is - could he be bluffing?

So, if not, he always has KJs or AA. But I still think he does bluff sometimes.

Believe me, people are bluffing. I was Just referring to what I read in every other post that "they are never bluffing here".

I devalue the chance on a bluff because the board hits UTG (in addition to BU). It's human, even for a habitual bluffer, to see the K, the J and the flop and turn calls from UTG and say to himself that it looks bad this time. I don't believe in a busted straight draw. That would mean AQ (4-outer) or QT (do you 3-bet UTG with that). Also, look at the size of the 3-bet.

I do not mind taking the pot pre flop with a 4 bet. :)

He has JJ too. His bets are constructed so he can put you AI on river.

Usually means a strong hand, especially IP. I would raise to $1, but OOP.

Some villains like to hit the pot button when they want to 3 bet. Here the case is this. May not be a tell for strong hand.
