I am not high stakes or anything, but if you are calling flop and think you are good why are you shutting down when the A comes? If you think he has A high when you call flop why are you not rr or betting turn?

Grim's never gonna be giving you an easy time on the R so going for a check-down on the T sucks imo. You need to decide whether you think you're ahead and raise the Flop or the Turn.

Thats the way I play it... but I'd feel weird about it and probably ask for suggestions from people.

The problem is that I think grimm's range is massive after his river bet and that makes it a very difficult job of trying to figure out where your hand lines up against it. I mean he could conceivably take this line with any of the hands that he's 3betting PF...

I'm assuming you mean a b/f. Problem with that is without 4betting preflop and with almost 200bb stacks I think HERO has AA/KK not very often at all making his hand somewhat face-up, and easy for VILLAIN to cr-bluff the turn with overs, or anything for that matter..

I think this is awful advice, particularly raising the flop.

That's the precise mindset that makes 3betting frequently a very profitable strategy in online poker.

fold to raise? turns my hand into a bluff imo
