[Closed] AJo 2/4 3betted pot

With that high preflop 3bet you must call the turn bet as he will probably twobarrel all of his air. Call turn and think again on the river, I'd probably call the river as well.

Hmmm I'm not sure calling down here is the best plan for a couple of reasons.

1) If he is positionally aware then he'll notice you are Under The Gun. This means that his 3-betting range is going to be much stronger than usual

2) He's not often going to bet A-high 3-times here so your equity vs his bet turn and bet river range is actually worse than you think.

3) He's almost never going to miss a value bet. The only hand you can really have that goes call/call is A-high or a very weak pair which you probably wouldn't raise from UTG. He may even vale bet AQ unimproved, I'd certainly consider it.

4) Raising for a Free Showdown isn't very good here. He may fold AQ but on the other hand that's a very small part of his range and I don't think he folds any pairs. so you get vlue from nothing worse and you fold nothing better.

Vs someone who's going to value bet really thinly and can hand read decently I'd either fold right away or call and then fold the river. I'm not seeing SD unimproved here I'm pretty sure that's a losing play w/ the rake.

Boomer, does your opinion change if we had raised from BU instead of UTG?

Vs someone this aggressive yes.

Now we can start adding hands like unsuited broadways, suited connectors and smaller Aces easily into his range, all of which he'll at least fire twice and probably fire a 3rd barrell

Of course he'll also have all PPs in his range but that's only a few more combos, probably 22-55 and there are less combos of those on the turn due to the 4 and 5 on the board.

If we were on the button here I think calling down becomes a vaible option although I'd probably still fold a Q or T because it just fills in too many combos of pairs

i'd call down as well against someone being that aggressive as he is.
