I have no stats for villain (Brent).
A few hands earlier a shorty limped in EP. Brent raised his ATo in LP. Flop is 225r. EP leads into him for about 2/5 pot. Brent pushes allin. Shorty calls for his 25bb stack with 99.
This is all the info I had on Brent.


Quote:
Texas Hold'em $6-$6 NL (Real Money),


Seat 2: Brent UNIT ($1,214.90 in chips)
Seat 3: stunyenoH ($592.80 in chips)
Seat 4: Hero ($1,063.85 in chips)



ANTES/BLINDS
Brent UNIT posts blind ($3), stunyenoH posts blind ($6).

PRE-FLOP
Hero bets $21, Brent UNIT bets $33, stunyenoH folds, Hero bets $102, Brent UNIT calls $87.

FLOP [board cards 3C,QC,6S ]
Brent UNIT checks, Hero bets $175, Brent UNIT bets $350, Hero calls $175.

TURN [board cards 3C,QC,6S,8S ]
Brent UNIT checks, Hero checks.

RIVER [board cards 3C,QC,6S,8S,9H ]
Brent UNIT bets $300, Hero?
On flop, he mincrs me. This could be massive strength, but can I really fold here? He could be making a random bluff or playing a hand strangely.

He checks the turn - this could be for deception or it could just be a sign of weakness. Maybe he has AK or AQ?

On the river, he bets 1/3 pot. Can I fold now or do I need way more reads?
I only need to be good 25% of the time here to win. It could be a bet begging to be called or it could also be a blocking type bet/cheap bluff.

Is my pf reraise OK? I give lower pairs about 9 to 1 to stack me. Is a raise to about 120 better? This is minor anyway I think. I don't lose too much by raising slightly lesss here.

The hands I'm worried about are AA and QQ. Both fit villain's line. And probably fit it best. Did I play the hand bad?

I actually won the hand. My friend thought I played it super bad though. Don't be results orientated.

My read without any other info is AQ or a busted flush (AcKc likely unless you hold Kc already).

Of course you have to be afraid of QQ or AA, but I think AA would get you all in preflop after your second raise, and QQ would raise at least half his remaining stack after the flop, if not a shove for fear of the flush draw. No way you could put him on two pair with the preflop action and that board.

If you think he has AA/QQ then dont even call his minbet...
I'd probably shove flop as well, or at least the turn

You both played it really wierd

i've been getting confused with different posts.
his line is really strong. surely KK isn't good on this flop and i don't think i get called by a worse hand if i push here. AQ and AK fold. but more often IMO i get called by AA or QQ or a set.

1 mistake i did make was my pf 4bet. i gave him good implied odds for a low pp
