I'd like some opinions on this hand.

Villain is VPiP 19%, PFR 11% out of 85 hands.

Sorry for the crappy font and hand history, I could not get the hand history converter to work from my poker tracker history and can't seem to find where to change the font.

Pre is bad, 3bet sizing is way too small OoP here.

I like your flop sizing but why do you shut down on that turn? If you are checking it is to represent a hand that cbet and now is giving up you shuold be c/shoving turn with that spr.

Preflop 3bet is too small, make it around 8k or so OOP. Postflop once you flop that well, just keep betting until all the chips are in. No reason to slow down on turn or river really, but c/r turn could be a good line if we think villain is likely not to believe us and stack off lighter.

I like 3 betting with an Ace blocker some of the time like you did here if you expect the Original raiser to fold a fair amount. A tight player with an 11% PFR might not be and ideal candidate unless you have a read that he is opening light from the HJ. I agree with all if you 3 bet you need to make it much bigger. like 8k.

Once you flop 2 pair your donk bet is good but I would make it closer to 1/2 pot.

I would keep firing the turn as villain shows up with Big aces lots of times and you might extract 3 streets of value.

As played, call the river and scoop the pot most of the time no use raising and folding is super weak. if he has a set or TJ, UL and move on

Thanks for the feedback. Having been away from online poker for a while and playing mostly low stakes live games, 3 bets are pretty rare since you are usually pot committed by the time you 3 bet. Let alone 4 and 5 bets that are non existent. So I’m still trying to get the hang of it.

I think I slowed down on the turn to make it look like I just cbet but scared of the ace, but really if he had a hand like AK he calls if Ibet the turn anyway.

I did end up calling on the riverand he flipped over a set of 9.
