I would have raised the flop and led the turn. As played I have no idea where you are at? That's why I hardly ever slowplay my sets.

I would bet/push the flop.
When you just call preflop it looks much as much like u have 99/JJ/QQ as TT. A lead for like 1/2 pot would probably prompt a raise from his holdings that you are looking to stack. Depending on his raise size and your reads u can decide to call and check/push turn or just 3bet the flop all in.
When you check the flop and opp bets, raising looks extremely settish and calling is not optimal either because he is in position on a drawy board and will exercise pot control on many turn cards.

Agreed, however if sauce has a very laggy image (not quite sure, he is normally very laggy but opp may not know this), I like a flop c/r because it looks so much like a set. However, instead of half pot i like a 3/4ths to full pot lead, as if he doesn't raise it makes the pot deeper (and he's surely not folding this flop).
But how bout comment as played on river?

If the river is the only decision you're looking to analyze, I think it's a pretty ez fold (lol captain obvious) since his line matches so perfectly with a c-bet with AdKx that didn't want to get bet off of the turn. Obv he can be bluffing here and it would be a hero call if you made it.

I think river is a pretty easy fold as well. Yes it's a perfect card for villain to bluff after you check, but then again it's very likely he has AdKx. Overall, I just don't think this call is +ev, so I fold.

Ok, all of you bet/3bettors out there... arent we losing a bet from AK AQ and how can this possibly be better than a check raise??

Also my std line on this flop is a check raise I did this to balance out the times when I C/C flop with JJ 99 and FD and cant stand a turn bet

I don't see how leading the flop in a 3-way re-raised pot is anything other than an enormous show of strength. Probably fold river because a lot of good hands are in your range including TT and J J and he's still pushing for 2X pot. On the other hand you pretty much never have the nuts here.

I'd check and see what happens and I sure wouldn't turn them into a bluff by leading for 3/4 pot.

Just because he's representing the nuts doesn't mean it's irrelevant what he thinks we have. A river overbet when our range has lots of missed draws and other garbage is clearly different from an overbet when our range has plenty of hands with good showdown value, and we should react to them differently.

What opp is reading a hand well enough to not bet an incredbly tempting semi bluff on the turn and is stupid enough to push a river when there's almost no hands that opp has played this way so far will call with (Unless opp knows sauce is willing to make hero calls, which is probably not the case, and even if this was the case suace's hand looks so weak im amazed opp wouldn't make a weaker value bet with an Ad)
Opp clearly has a hand with either a ton of SD value or absolutely none. And I feel like a hand with a ton of it is playing the river differently.

If villain is indeed good then he's unlikely to bet turn here since he doesn't wanna get raised off his higher flushdraw if he has one (and we just made a flush possibly).

What I just find odd about this hand is the conflict of a seemingly good villan (checking the turn) with making a seemingly donkish play (overpushing the river). This is clearly not how he plays it if he thinks we have a lower flush (which would seem very likely if this wasn't a reraised pot, because the only flush we could have would be A high, so he clearly couldn't put us on that.
This bet just looks way too much like a lagg realizing there is no way with the hand we have that we can call a huge overbet.
Question: Did he think before making the push? How long? How long in relation to the time it took to make most of his moves.

i thnk most villains will bet AdKx on the turn as a semibluff as gettin C/R off it isnt a very bad thing.

if he had QQ, he would be bluffing to get you off a diamond, but he would have the best hand if called. same if he had AoXd (with low x) that he reraised with pf

wtf? CR the flop. They obviously like their hands enough to raise and then 3-bet respectively PF then follow it up with a strong c-bet. I'd make it $25o then push any turn if called. I like a CR AI too and let an over pair think I have a flush draw.

Gabe, I can't believe a good villain would bluff with QQ to get me off of a diamond, that hand is gonna be good in a SD 75% plus of the time and he would also bet turn.
I think his bet is representing two things Adx or nothing. I think any other diamond hand (maybe even the ace) would vbet smaller and/or check as any diamond has a ton of showdown value here imo.
So what is his bet/check/shove representing? Perhaps a cleverly played AJoff with the Ad kind of hand, but what else? And why wouldn't villain semi bluff turn and or bet smaller on river with a strong flush.
Basically I don't understand y the villain you decribed Gabe would turn a hand with so much sd value into a bluff?
PS: I really respect and agree with most of ur posts so maybe im missing something fundamental here in this hand> Sauce

Ugh I definitely pulled that number out of my ass but what I was trying to get across is MOST of the time I think trip queens will be best. A flush is definitely in my range but when I call a re raise OOP we can discount suited connectors from my range entirely (as I would be raising AQs and AKs I think). That leaves 99-QQ as the majority of my range (though I dont know if villain knows this, and I may also call with other pairs as MP plays badly and CO is aggro.

yeah its possible for him to be bluffing with a better hand but its not likely in this particular spot imo. At higher levels there is mor nth level thinking such that this is a clear fold, but i think theres an argument for a call against this guy

You shouldve raised the flop. You have the nuts right now and you want a big pot. Also, if he as an overpair he's drawing slim and you want to get it in with the best of it. The check on the turn is weak because villian is representing a big pair. Unless he has QQ, its unlucky he turned a flush. You have to bet to see where your hand stands. On the river, I'm folding. There are 4 cards that beat your flush and its an overbet.

this is an easy fold IMO. Villain has to be bluffing >60% of the time to make this call, and while i could see him leveling you here, i dont think you will ever be good that much of the time.

Isn't warm calling a threebet preflop from the worst position at the table already an enormous show of strength?

Ok well I tanked and called and he showed AK offsuit.
I'm a station.
In conclusion Gabe brings up a good point that against higher level opponents capable of bluffing a small flush or QQ this is an insta fold as I have terrible pot odds and a now terrible hand.
I still think that against aggro opponents my flop line is fine, not as a standard line but one to use a third of the time or less. Underrepping the nuts against a habitual 2nd barreler and semi bluffing player can't be that bad imo, as long as I think I have a good read on his thought process.
I also think that occasionally I should be bet/3betting this flop, with my standard and most +ev line being a flop checkraise.
Realize that my line here is not a check/call for pot control or anything of that kind, its to induce a large turn bet and get most of my opponent's stack in the pot on a draw or with a big pair drawing to 2 outs, I think some opponents may be capable of laying down a big pair to a C/R, shove line.
I thought his betting pattern in context of this player represented exactly one hand: a stone cold bluff. Call me crazy... Sauce.
