ZOMG 200nl FR brainfart

Villain is ZOMGBentley, many thousands of hands with her, and runs at a 18.6% vpip, 16.3% pfr, and a 7% 3bet.

Preflop: Standard squeeze imo, should have been larger. The call to cap the action however - is what I'm concerned most with. Folding seems really gross because of the price, but a raise seems retarded even more so.

Flop: I make another weird bet. Call it the " Ol' BankItDrew." Again, put in a weird spot where the price is golden and the flop is what I was looking for. Standard flop shove is what I'll probably start doing.

There! try to come up with differing opinions!

so do you like money?

Three times I mentioned I fucked up. Tell me something I don't know. Or have I taught myself everything I need to know?

Shove or fold preflop, the odds look nice but the reverse implied odds here are not your friends. I think it's probably a fold since bentley is good enough to see the shortstack and know that you are not squeezing mega wide in this spot.

Also, zOMGBentley is a girl wtf is this true?

All that live play has messed with your range circuitry or something senior bot.

You pretty much covered why your play sucks, I just want to add that I've seen a ton of people limp-raising lately with AK rather than QQ+. Of course this makes the preflop call worse because you don't know whether you need an A or a Q.

Stop leveling yourself.

squeeze/folding AQ here is not the worst thing you can do preflop

I think it nay even be the best line since we will get it in a lot vs the button and we are far ahead of his range presuming an unknown.

What's your history with Bentley? I know I've gotten ai w/hands like 88 vs him (her?) before and been good. He likes to play very aggro esp. vs tighter regs so I don't mind stacking off post flop. But I probably wouldn't have squeezed pre, not that I think its bad, I just probably wouldn't do it in this spot.

no history with bentley other than i stuck it in her

I was thinking about this, and if she does have a hand like AA or AK, then shoving the flop seems bad of her. I wouldn't be shocked to see JJ or even AJ, but a shove w/QQ or KK could be good if she thinks you would fold like AQ (even though thats such a small part of your range). But if you have like KK or QQ and she has A whatever, then shoving seems bad on her part.
