Awkward 2/4 hand

Villain is a fairly straight forward reg. He does have the habit of calling 3 bets with a lot of small and medium pairs. He is running 20/15/5.

Thoughts are appreciated on all streets.

Looks fine imo. Turn c/rai is pretty sweet also if your 3bet fq is very high.

I'd fold preflop? I dont play six max that much but it kind of looks like a fold.

I also think checking the flop is good. Your line seems fine though

I think your 3-bet pre is pretty bad.

Can you just check fold the turn? He seems to have you beat a lot and he's betting pretty big...

I'm not sure this hand is a fold vs any kind of wide button opening range necessarily. I don't mind calling pre.

I want to bet the turn again. If we're beat, I think its by a few 8x and KQ. I don't expect hands like 99-QQ to fold to a turn barrel, or any kind of FD necessarily.

How does he perceive your double barreling in 3bet pots? I kind of want to b/c $80 on the turn here.

After a closer inspection I'm thinking call river.

This is what I am leaning toward too after looking back at the hand. BTW he should have me at about 22/17/8 if he has his HUD running which I know he does and we played quite a bit vs each other.

if his read is that he calls 3bets a shitload 3betting is definitely close.

I'm not sure why we're thinking call the river? opp would have to be a sicko

I mean sometimes i level myself into thinking that he knows i think that card smacked his range and he's bluffing but i almost always find its just that the card smacked his range and i lose. fwiw the only player ive played who actually took advantage of it was Fullflush

I don't mind the 3 bet seems like a great hand to have if somebody is calling 3 bets really wide. I think after you check the turn you should call river vs this guy.

Pre seems fine, turn is kinda gay that you're not that little bit shallower so you can c/r ai. I like c/c turn, c/c brick rivers, as played I'd fold.
