If his PFR is 18 and his Attempt to Steal is only 15, isn't that kind of positionally UNaware?

Anyways, I would probably call here. If a disaster club hits obv your action is killed and you might be beat, but you'll have a nut redraw which is nice.

His flop bet says to me "I have Ace-x I don't want you drawing to clubs". If you call, he'll probably bomb a blank turn again which is nice. If the river bricks, you can generally lead small and get looked up light since he'll put you on whiffed clubs.

Proceed with some caution. You probably have the best hand, you're not improving, and really the only thing you beat that might pay off a stack is AQ.

I don't like a flop c/r here, since with the AcKcJc all accounted for, there's not a lot of reasonable flush draws for him, so no need to charge him here. Your c/r is likely to fold out everything you want to get value from.

Why not 3bet him -.-? Playing AK oop in non-3bet pot vs a very aggro opponent doesn't sound fun.

I fire a 3rd barel pf.

As played, put in a pot sized rr on flop

15% att to steal means he sucks

I really really think 3betting preflop here is best. His stats seem to suggest he's rarely folding to a 3bet once he's opened UTG so you'll have excellent equity against his range.

pretty much always 3bet pre, and lead flop
