I've felt a little lost the last few days. I'm winning (very small amounts with large time input by me) but I think I'm doing well with ranges and post-game analysis. Anyways, these two hands have come up and kinda bugged me.

No read on this villain. I had no idea what to do on the turn here, so I just checked like a wimp. I realize now my draw was massive and I still had good equity against a ton of his range but I just wasn't thinking in the moment.

The villain in this hand is the nutcamping suuuupernitty type. Like 6/6 over 650 hands, with only 3 3bets in all of those hands. I imagine he's only 3betting the very top of his range, and that probably does not include AK just based on the stats. Am I giving him too much credit putting him on AK/33/KcQc?
