Villain is 44.68/35.46/1.85 over 141 hands. He has roughly the same aggression on every street. I made a note that he slowplayed trip 9's on a board with a flush draw. Is this river close? I am not sure whether he'd raise AT,A9 on this river.

Note: I didn't want to raise my AQs oop against this player, although it would theoretically be correct against his high PFR, are most uf us still raising? folding (I don't see myself folding cause I feel my hand is well ahead of his range)?

call to beat AJ

[davekngs]

definitely 3bet PF

If you just call the flop then bet the turn

as played you have to call river theres so many 2 pair hands you beat as well as AK/AJ that gave up the caught river and made a dodgy raise

@ dave

So you'd have raised and felted this flop if villain had called as far as I am understand your implications correctly?

[davekngs]

I would often 3bet to $13 and and bet like $22 on flop and take it from there

[davekngs]

my main point was that after you smooth call the flop I don't see why you didn't love him checking the turn and immediately bet $14-17

Wow, 3 bet preflop, esp with his stats. Folding pre is not an option, although i would prolly 3-bet around 75-80% of time here. I just call on river cause its a WA/WB situation and after he shows A10 or A9 i curse myself for being so weak and not pushing cause I know he surely calls. Hmm...actually pushing isn't that bad of a play either cause he could be doing this with AK or A10 or A9, esp with his stats.

I am not sure about a value shove. I contemplated value shoving, but I feel that villain is too passive postflop to justify a value shove. I think it's more a WA/WB spot as you said.

[aditya]

Ok, so you don't like 3-betting pre. Why didn't you 3-bet on the flop?

[illuminati]

Wow he can have lots of Axs here for 2p. He might be a retard s/playing a set but he can also have a LOT of hands you beat.
