400 nl - Weird River Spot, prob EZ
 

Villain in the hand is a regular who I have a lot of history with. He runs at 15/12/3 and despite these stats 3bets me extremely light (by FR standards) from the blinds and button. I think his UTG range is tight enough that 3betting QQ is EV- but I'm open to ideas on that. The turn bet was a misclick but I did mean to only make it 190 so you can give me thought on that idea as well if you'd like. The river is really tough however I'm fairly certain AA is the only hand that makes really sense which has me beat, and it's possible he'd bluff/vbet worse (like JJ).

pre flop do something wierd, calling is meh.....raiseing is meh......so 3 bet V smallish, he isnt gonan bluff raise u, ull get more value from ahnds that u beat, and slow him down....or just call and like min raise on dry boards..., and it serves the purpose of isolatingu aginst him..... 400 nl they arent 4 betting with anyhting but aa/kk when u 3 bet thier utg raise, ..........raise flop...if he has a hand that he is gonan go with, the money goes in on the flop....just calling to "slowplay" makes no sense, either he has a had or he doesnt on that board........river is easy fold, he never bluffs here after u raise turn......

Your turn raise kinda sucks.

Sure in this case is turned out to be brilliant but in general I just think it kinda sucks.

I don't really have any critical thinking to back it up but...

Re: 400 nl - Weird River Spot, prob EZ
 

yeah just raise more on the turn.

I think i would fold the river, but i really don't know. I'd just never have gotten to that spot in the first place.
