How about checking behind the turn? Seems like you are way behind/way ahead against a 22/20 here. As played I fold river. If you call on a dry turn like that I don't think many people will fire air on the river when a total blank comes. Maybe I'm just getting leveled though.

I think I call the turn and call the river. He can't have hit the Q because he would c/r the flop with all his overs+FD hands and he wouldn't just float overs OOP. A trey or 88 is unlikely. I just don't see what he's repping.

FWIW if I call the turn it's with the intention of calling a shove on every river.

My biggest concern is that he flatted a big pair since 3-bets aren't getting called nor 4-bet light. AA/KK/88/33 are about the only hands that make sense.

i also dont see why playing pot control is bad here.

 No way I am checking behind here. Easy value bet. I probably fold the turn because they always seem to have it. The river he never expects you to fold so I'd fold. To be honest, I'm not sure what I do in the moment because feel has a lot to do with these situations against these players.

You can get 3 streets of value from A8 here.

Also, it merges your your barreling range.

Also, we have basically the nuts here vs someone who is almost always 3-betting a bigger pp pre.

You have to bet turn here against reg to merge your range and for value. Without postflop history, I probably fold. You have to realize some villains are aggro preflop, but more cautious postflop. But it comes down to a feel.
The secret to success in poker is to rig the odds in your favor.

A 22/20 is calling OOP with A8 preflop?

Of course, what IS a 22/20 calling OOP with?

This relates to my second question above.

 Also, considering this is such a good spot to bluff we need to extend our value bet range.
