Nightly $33 T on Merge

Hero has been LAG last two orbits, getting good hands and playing them for value.

Villian is Merge Pro with over 25K profit this year. 29/24/14 over 85 hands.

Blinds 300/600 , 90 players left , ITM is 45.

Stack sizes Hero 34bb, villian 47bb

Hero has KQs in mp, min raise

Villian is next to act and reraise to 2.2

all fold back to me, I call ( pot is 6600)

Flop is K52 rainbow

Hero checks, villian bets little over 1/3 pot (2400), hero calls

turn is J, hero checks, villian bets little less than 1/2 pot (5000)

hero ?

Note: villian has a bet/turn of 100% 3 of 3

I feel villain is very capable of having an under pair or A rag here

Thanks for the replies

IMO it's rather much unlikely that V will 3-bet a hand like 55/22 pre so it's unlikely that v has monsters in their range which has connected on the flop and you've also got the K blocker so i think KK is unlikely too.

given your read i'd flat and re-evaluate on the river.

Only hands that are beating you is AA/JJ and maybe AK/KK but i think thats heavely discounted against this aggressive opponent.

Slight chance maybe a hand like KJ improved but like u said he's been betting 100% of turns so i think his range may consist of marginal hands/air , but i'd lean more towards the air side. If v had a hand like 99/TT he'll likely check these hands back ott and try to get to showdown for cheap.

looks like I would check-call this all day everyday. The times I will take it down will be way more than I lose it. And he is not shoving or anything, at least not yet. He is betting reasonable. I believe he is barrelling to get a fold. I think, his most likely holding is AJ or AQ.

Agree with others. Flatting turn. Might blocker lead most rivers to get to showdown cheaper/soul reading thin value wink

thanks for the replies, here is how the hand played out.

I check- raise river all-in (had less than pot size bet on if I called the turn bet) , not the optimum move. Only getting called with better hands and QQ.

Villain calls and shows J5s, Nice 3-bet range, guess that is why he is a winning player.

I think I played the hand correctly, except for the turn shove, outcome would have been the same because I was calling his river shove on any card.
