FT 4 handed and villian seemed to be a thinking player. Wanted to go ftw and chip up. Some history where I was floating a bit and had shown down made hands. I had turned up the agro and started raising a lot IP pre before this hand though.

not sure your ever getting an A to fold here – especially at low stakes. I guessing thats whet he had. I think he was checking to call / allow you to bluff. If he leads rvr you probably fold and he misses value. The only hads that might fold rvr are mid pairs. I think to make it look like you are going for value on rvr either a smaller or bigger bet might have worked. 1/2 pot ?????

He had jj and tanked till 1 sec left on time bank. Still not sure wether my line didn’t make sense or he just hero’d.

I don't like taking lines like this in low stakes. It's just not worth it as we should have a significant edge. What are you trying to rep here by taking this line? AK and AQ don't really make sense as you are probably 4b them. A10-AJ and sets I guess. As played it looks as if villain has Ax or 99-KK. I just don't think you are ever getting them to fold. I don't like your flat pre. If villain is 3b light then I like to 4b here. If villain isn't 3b light then I just fold. K10s just doesn't play well against villains 3b range.

Your line does look pretty strong but there are enough bluffs in your range that his call makes sense here. If he is a thinking player then he knows it's a great board for you to float and take away. When he checks the turn he is either pot-controlling or giving up, occassionally he will c/r of course. But when he c/calls it is definitely pot control and if he is a thinking player then I doubt he is calling there to fold to a river bet.
