I think I would check/call on flop on BB and I would CR big on flop if I was on SB.

As played is interesting, I guess we are gonna value bet bluff on river? But I would probably give up on river in real life.

I prefered CR on the flop because the board was made of medium/low cards, and it fits better my range than villain’s.

At the river i shoved all in and villains folds.

Later i found him at tables and he told me he folded AcQc.

Yeah, that makes sense. AQcc/AJcc should find a fold but AKcc should call sometimes. I'm not good enough to make that fold on river though if I didn't raise/AI on turn.

OK, flop is better for BB call range, but what are you presenting on river with all-in? No flush, no str. or you are call preflop with 23s ? for complete str?
Check/rise flop you presenting set with low pair, or 2 pairs T9, or SD 87. All in there looks like pure bluf. With strong hand you want to call from opponent.

I’m basically representing set/ 2 pairs.
There is not a largion portion of his range that calls a all in at river, but also there is a lot of missed straight/ flush draws and Kk-JJ, Ax.
I Think with set i would play like that too. Same as 2 pairs, even not receiving a lot of calls. It was my tought when i shoved. Otherwise, going X/X o X/f with 8 high i think i aways loose.
Of course i would not go all in with all my flush combos. If i had Kc, Qc even Jc i had checked, because i would block his flush combos that may fold.

Turn: You should be sizing up your bet for a proper river bet. If you bet 6 and he calls, pot will have 21 and you would have 15 left behind. So you would have a 2/3 pot turn 2/3 pot river which is more ideal.

Is there a reason to use 1/3 pot sizing on the Turn Ace? Range betting the Ace? It's not a card that helps your range at all so I don't think it makes sense in this spot.

The best hand to barrel is 6h7h, followed by a hand like yours. I would just give up with KcQc/KcJc/QcJc/KcTc type of hands - you block fewer busted draws that would fold to a river bet + you occasionally win when opponent doesn't bluff and checks back his 8c6c

All AcXc should clearly fold - you block a ton of villain's air combos that are raising and barreling. I would rather take KT of diamonds to call down rather than AcKc. Opponent either has a flush/straight draw or 2p+ so there's no real difference between TX and AX other than blockers.

Turn bet should be larger, is this hand a combo we want to bluff with? I know its a good draw but does it also block villains bluffs leading him to have a better hand OTF when he does call?
