[ncboiler]

Villain is 31/10/2.6

I am horrible at building big pots. Someone teach me how to do it!! Smaller turn check raise? Lead turn again? What about PF?

probably got all the value you could get imo

[PLAYOFFS]

Standard flop. I mix up the turn and when the board pairs the river I kick the dog. Normally, I like the bet on the flop because anyone with a set is prone to felt it there. On the turn, the only way you get called is if they have a set or a once in a blue moon someone gets cute with the Q high.

I prefer 3beting against this villain.

Preflop--

I really prefer a call to a 3-bet. If you choose to 3-bet preflop you need to have a plan for what you want to do with the hand:

-If UTG 4-bets it usually means a lot of trouble for this hand.
-Getting called will place you in a lot of tough spots post flop. When you hit any good but not great (A or Q hi) flop I don't imagine his range includes many 2nd best hands that will give you value and its easy to run into a real hand that chose to just call your 3-bet.
When you miss the flop villains stats look like a difficult choice to play vs oop. Loose enough to call a lot of C-bets and aggressive enough to apply pressure when you slow down.

Postflop--

When I flop something like this I bet big each street, often more than potsize. His calling range is such that it will call/raise big bets (sets, flushes, overpairs)or just fold so my line would be to bet big and hope for a call. You're not losing much value from weaker hands since you really have the deck strangled here.
