Villain mostly unknown.

PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 114.2 BB
SB: 208 BB
BB: 103.4 BB
UTG: 100 BB
Hero (MP): 101.4 BB
CO: 128.4 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A♠ K♣

UTG raises to 2 BB, Hero raises to 7.6 BB, CO calls 7.6 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold

What kind of range can the CO play here? I was thinking strong Ax, 99-QQ, KJ+? Maybe some suited connectors?

Flop: (18.6 BB, 2 players) 4♥ J♠ K♠
Hero bets 9.6 BB, CO raises to 27 BB, Hero calls 17.4 BB

Turn: (72.6 BB, 2 players) T♦
Hero checks, CO bets 93.8 BB and is all-in, fold

I am blocking many draws so I folded.

CO wins 69.6 BB

Can't argue with the fold.
CO must have a reasonably strong range to cold call pre, but would AQ raise that flop? Even if it was suited? TT wouldn't either.
but that turn raise is either straight or set or bluff, and bluff seems even more unlikely.

For me the most likely hand here is 44 -- but you don't even consider that.
It is certainly an overplay pre, but fits the next two streets.

Bizarre hand? Post it in Hand of the Day!!
