    Default 2 hands 5nl

    Btn is your average call atc, SB is running 11/11 over 50 hands and hasn't shown anything down. I am running really aggro at this table 22/20 over 150 hands. Can I assume SB range to be TT+ AKo, AKs, given my aggro image or does he really have to have it here? The former is what I based my decision on.

    This table I am running pretty nitty with a 10/9 over 120 hands or so. MP3 is running 7/1. His range is going to be all PP's. He doesn't have sc's here or AK. Honestly in my head, I think he has a small PP with another club. I think my flop bet is too small, and I have shown too much weakness. And my check on the river can induce a lot of bluffs. Here is my thinking; AK, AcQc and KK I would still bet for value on the river, JJ is c/f, I am c/f 99 and worse on the turn, including any AQo hands without the Ac. So my river check range is AA, QQ, JJ AcQ. I fold JJ and AQ and probably call 1/2 psb with AA and QQ. But he shoves the rest of his chips, which I know is roughly psb, but this seems really strong which in my mind would lose value from my hands because I should be folding my entire range here to his bet. So either he is bad and doesn't care what I have, or he is trying to take down the pot.

    H1: Call, raising may force you off your hand preflop. I feel that running 11/11 is opening a few more hands than you put him on, but I'm not sure.

    H2: Bet size on flop seems fine to me. I would bet more on turn though because I think that he would raise flopped flushes to protect them if a club turns. I'd bet around 80% because i don't think he'll call 65% any more often than 80%. I think checking is fine on river because only hands you're getting value from are 8x FD's/PP FD's. I guess you can beat a bluff on the river.. I don't think he's betting more than pot with 3rd pair. Fold.

    1)What hands have you shown down - or have you mainly been picking pots up without showdown? 50 hands isn't a huge sample and he can be 3 betting wider if he thinks you are getting out of line. So I would 4 bet shove as it probably looks weaker to him.

    2)Unless we have a specific read that all he plays are PP's then we have to consider that sometimes he shows up with hands like KQ,AK and AQ. Seeing as this player is 7/1 he doesn't really have air at all in this spot especially with the over bet. So I'd fold.

    hand 1 versus an unknown or relatively unknown player i just call his 3-bet
    Hand 2 is kinda tough as a 7/1 peep is likely to have either a flush a flush draw a king or a set. If you were ip i think you can check the turn as your hand really isn't string enough to value bet 3 -streets As played i would fold the turn. I just don't think a 7/1 nit is bluffing here. Also from my experience when they call flop call turn then bet big on the river it's usually a big hand.
