Super small sample size on opp, 22 hands. 52/33 25%(8) 3b. Folded once to a 3bet.

Because he seemed really fishy i wanted to know what non standard lines i could take in this spot. Should i even consider doing something fancy or go for three streets? My image was pretty tight at the table. I figured there could be some jacks in his range some weak draws or maybe 77,99,1010. The king smacks my range and i think hes gonna be folding out most of that if i bet. c/c two streets? c/c shove river?, c/r?


CO: $239.68
BTN: $97.65
Hero (SB): $99.00
BB: $60.15
UTG: $96.45
MP: $128.12

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is SB with A K
1 fold, MP raises to $3, 2 folds, Hero raises to $9, 1 fold, MP calls $6

Flop: ($19.00) 8 J 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $11.00, MP calls $11

Turn: ($41.00) K (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $20.50, Hero ???

bet turn. Your calling range for him is way too tight, he's not folding a thing to a turn bet. I might check the flop though.

Why is it when people hit cards that smack their range they go into this 'feign pot control mode', instead of 3 streets of value. If you only bluff this card and dont value bet when you actually hit you are going to get called down here by like 77 for 3 streets every time.

Definitely not my standard play here. I always barrel these spots esp when I spike the turn. I wanted to try something different and wanted to know if there are any other lines that can be used in a spot like this against a weak player to exploit a weaker range.

In the moment I felt like being creative but after i checked I realized that it would be even trickier to get called by check raising, and i lose a lot of value when he checks back. Because he was fish i thought he might turn a weak hand into a bluff and commit himself.

I know its a pretty silly hand but wanted to get some feedback on whether it is ever wise to even think along these lines.
