Liekkipoia is table sucker, who limps alot, overpays for seeing flops and is eager to stack off to one of table nits. I iso-raise big because nits will fold AQish hands to my EP raise and I will have better chance to destack a donkey.

Rest of players are tight, cautious on weaktight side. Easy to c-bet, tip their hands with bets etc. Everyone is habitual slowplayer.

I was pretty card dead, so I have no image yet, except being fanatical folder for couple of orbits and picking up some blinds with PFR's.

Ahmed folds preflop a lot, I have yet to see him showdown a hand. He built his stack before I arrived at table. He used his entire timebank before making calls against my bets.


River play?

 fold, he likes his hand. If you think he'll raise 99 it might be a call but his hands are weighted much more to overpairs like JJ+

Yeah, this is exactly my thought process. I think he checks back 99ish hands 100%of the time, mucks AKish hands on flop or turn (or bluffraises me if my reads are off) and by river bet he tries to sell me his boat or bigger overpair.

I tanked, puked and mucked.

How to play the river with AA/KK? QQ?

i like your turn line, i use it a lot about 65/35 as a defensive/attacking line.

Fwiw, in a bigger game you can maybe c/r all in on river and get away with a slow play/bluff (but you'd have to be seen slow playing the nuts here) but in this game you may still very welkl get called, but obviously versus a nit it may work well.
Once he calls the turn he has a hand and you have to c/fold or try a big bluff, but it isnt going to be successful a lot i dont think.
