AK RR pot 200bb OOP river push

[krumeluren]

I haven´t played much against villain but I think I know him from pokerforum.nu and he is competent. A tourney specialist that probably is warming up his CG at NL100 and is about to move up to higher stakes soon. TAG 21/16/4 and capable of making moves.

I have similar stats and I am recovering from a 25BI downswing at NL200. I haven´t played well lately but it is getting better and this session I actually did play well although a bit on the weak side but I don´t know if villain has picked up on it.

I went with a passive call line to get value from worse hands but the board just keept getting uglier.

I think my hand is pretty transparent.

bet flop

fold as played

fold the turn.

I folded river but it felt a bit weak at the time. I think I would have called if the flush didn't hit.

After my downswing I have altered my game a bit. I don't CB as much as before and I check a lot of A high flops and it is working pretty good for now (less variance). But I agree I should have bet and defined my hand. I was planning to bet turn but when the board paired i decided check and I prob should have folded turn.

i b/f this flop. i dont think any competent player is going to bluff shove the flop on this board, and hes not calling a 3bet OOP with small diamonds.

as played fold river. his range is almsot entirely TT, JJ, AA, with the occasional AQdd thrown in - and even that just drew out on you

[krumeluren]

He is not OOP and were 200bb deep so I think his range is wider than just pairs and AK. Were also only 4-handed and I had been 3betting a bit. I do think TT is a huge part of his range here, JJ and AA a bit less for obvious reasons but there are others as well and I think he is capable of bluffing if he views me as weak tight because he has position and were deep. Anyway, I agree that it probably is a fold already on turn or flop if i had bet it.
