One pair is teh nootz in a re-raised pot, right?

[SABR42]

Villain is loose-passive, 36/9.

My image is very aggresive. I 3-barreled earlier and got away with it. Other than that I'm mostly just value-betting my good hands, and not getting called much. I've raised PF a lot over the last couple of orbits.

I think pre-flop and river are the easiest streets.

The flop I assume is pretty standard. I'd bet here without a pair, so I might as well bet when I do have top pair.

The turn is the main decision IMO. Do you guys usually keep betting, or slow down here? I felt that because of my image I had a greater than usual chance of getting looked up here.

River is pretty trivial IMO. He checked, and I insta-shoved. If he had better than AK at that point he should have pushed first (he had less than 40% of a PSB).

very good

given your image, some opponents will be in calldown mode verse you

I have the villain range at AK, KQ, KJ, QQ-99,

Very std. to be honest, I think. Until the villain shows any kind of strength i.e. comes in for a raise, you have to think your TPTK is good most of the time here. Sure, occasionally you might have walked into a set but you have to play this aggressively more often that not.

Like the way you played it though.

Result?

fine

He called down with QQ. This hand seems pretty standard, but I haven't played poker in over a month, so I'm rusty. Thanks for the comments.
