1st session back and made a few couple marginal and probably donkish calldowns.

1st one is this hand, where I pushed villain off QQ preflop in previous hand (he’s 13/6 and cold-called the SB’s 3-bet to my CO open… I shoved with AA and I’m pretty sure he isn’t lying).

I felt he may be tilty and trying to “get back at me”.

I’m kind of rusty and think that everything is possible here. Turns out the guy is a total nit who I’d doubt does very little adjusting, just plays his cards :

This next calldown is really fkin annoying, only because the villain was a maniac and I know he would’ve been firing any river or at least calling a value-bet after he hit the turn :

This is the sick one. Villain 3-bet me in an earlier hand where BB called the 3-bet. I had AA and decided to rep AK and open-shove, hoping at least the BB would come along for the ride.

Well, SB villain (guy in this hand), timed waaaaay down and eventually folded. He runs at 21/18 and seems very aggro and probably thinking so it made me think he had folded a big hand.

So this next time he 3-bets me and I call because we are deep (lol excusestoplaysuitedgapperaments)… Flop I call because it’s easy for me to rep TT-QQ which he may shut down on. My main concern is getting stack-a-donked on the turn so I check behind because I feel my best way to win the pot will be to raise a river blocker.

Then the fun begins. Rather than block, he bets very big. Now I think that he has a very strong hand. But because of his aggression (I’ve seen him fire and fire several times), I am also inclined to believe he’ll be doing this with air.

The big question becomes : how often do I think he’s bluffing or turning a medium-strength hand into a bluff here?

Since my line looks weak up to this point, I figure there will be lots of bluffs in his range. I’ve been running at 34/23 so I think he’s 3-betting me particularly lightly. So I think the answer to this question is “lots of the time”

The secondary question is how many of his strong hands can I get him to fold by shoving? While this may seem insane, we have an entire buy-in behind even after he bets close to pot on the river. So I’m lead to believe he’ll probably be able to get away from AK, KQ (although I’d doubt he bets KQ this strongly on the riv, so prob AK) and ***maybe*** AA.

I wouldn’t be totally surprised to see AA call here but I feel like it’s a ridiculously gross spot if he missed his turn CR ai with AA.

Is my line ever a bluff? It’s sure hard to rep anything. You’d think I’d prob bet a set on the turn for value or raise the flop…

I think in his shoes I just throw up because I expect to see 88 or 99 here a shitton cuz that's just how poker works lol.
