Carroters has a spectacular aura aboutCarroters has a spectacular aura about
 Villain is a reg, running 21/19 ATS of 40 over 140 hands. I've already squeezed him and 3-bet him once already in this session. He sees me as aggro preflop so his calling range is probably wider than you'd usually expect in this spot. Probably something like 88+, AQo+. I might just call preflop vs a positionally aware reg that opens a tight range utg, but given history I think it's an easy 3-bet. Also, there's a chance he may 4-bet bluff with the bottom of his opening range.

Since we're deep I chose a pot control line on the turn because I don't think there are worse kings in his range and I don't like the look of b/f and b/c. I think this is a good spot to protect my stack since I don't think I get value from too much and I think his range is made up of floats, weaker one pair hands that can't stand a 2nd barrel and nut hands that crush me. I do however think he'll bet this turn with all floats (AQ combos and possibly JJ QQ if I check. So I call the turn bet since I've induced it. I plan on c/c most rivers.

How does this look?

Turn: ($15.55) 2 (2 players)

Total pot: $31.55

FWIW, I play it the same way but with a slightly bigger c-bet ($5-$5.5) on flop.

This might be obvious (or not) but I've had it beat into me to keep small pots with small hands and betting all three streets here is making a big pot with only TPTK. If at any point we were raised after betting on this here hand then we'd be laying it down but before that happens we can (or should attempt to) valuetown?

we are looking to get it allin on either flop or turn no problem. AK is among the top of our value range.
