Ugh, this is a nasty spot. I think flop sizing is good, I would go larger on both turn and river. In villain’s shoes, I’m never flatting AA or AK given these positions and stack depths, I’m folding 22 to your flop bet and raising 33 on the flop or turn, so I can safely say I don’t have any full houses by the river. That being said, this feels like a “they always have it” kind of spot.
With your description of the villain, it’s hard to think they’re losing their mind and bluffing when we’ve shown this much strength. I don’t know if they ever play KJ or KQ like this. FWIW, we block the flush draw, so even less likely they are bluffing. I’m on the fence about calling, I think you’re probably better off folding but it’s close.
Hey flop ostile. Glad you posted this!
So right away: stack sizes, you both are really deep at this point, you have rougly 201bb to start and Villain has roughly 117bb. I mention this now because I have a slight feeling this may be a factor. Honestly I don’t know why exactly yet but lets see…
I’m with my man DDD, I don’t think he’s flatting pre here too often with AA, AK, or even QQ. I think those hands are def. 3-bets. Maybe AQ , AJ, KT,KJ,KQ,QJs. This deep I could see a flat with 22-TT with JJ being a questionable 3-bet.
I love your aggression on the flop, I think your sizing is fine. maybe a little bigger with turn bet 1000-1100, but I don’t hate 900.
I’m with my man DDD on river, I think something more like 2300 ish is better. Because you’re getting an even better price to call his river shove. After doing some of this math (which was excruciating and I have a headache(in a good way)) I think we should be calling.
He laid us 35% pot odds and our hand vs his range is good 40% vs range 45%, so we have the right price. BUT having said all that, I like your fold for the simple fact that it’s not an easy spot. Other than that, we should call: if he has a boat, good game, on to the next one.
