    Default [50NL] AA...4bet pot. Turn decision

    Villain is 25/22/14 (3bet, 2/14) over 37 hands.

    PokerStars - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    BB: $61.69
    Hero (UTG): $66.84
    MP: $40.47
    CO: $32.32
    BTN: $50.00
    SB: $101.88

    SB posts SB $0.25, BB posts BB $0.50

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.75) Hero has A A

    Hero raises to $1.50, MP calls $1.50, fold, fold, SB raises to $6.50, fold, Hero raises to $15.25, fold, SB calls $8.75

    Flop: ($32.50, 2 players) 8 8 7
    SB checks, Hero bets $10.50, SB calls $10.50

    Turn: ($53.50, 2 players) Q
    SB checks, Hero ???

    The 4bet is prob a little too big, but we're just over 130bb deep so I don't think it's awful.

    What is villain's range here and what do we do on this turn?

    I'd probably go half pot on flop and shove turn.

    It's not the best turn in the world, and I expect QQ a fair bit, but after our small flop size he's much wider than that.

    I just thought the flop was a little dry, I wanted to keep all of his AK/AQ that he might have in his range and maybe even induce a jam from those hands or smaller PP's.

    Got to think about his whole range rather than just a tiny bit of it. Especially when I think expecting him to jam the vast majority of those hands is very unrealistic and you probably also hate doing this with any other bits of your range.

    I'd just be aiming to GII on the turn as a general line on this flop. As played turn is a really sucky card and you've put yourself in a really awkward situation where we can't really bet/fold and shoving is probably fairly bad.

    I'm not sure what else he has in his range here other than TT+, AQ+. I don't expect him to be 3betting UTG open from SB light, and certainly don't expect him to be flatting the 4bet wide either.
