A monotone 3-bet pot with top two.

    Default A monotone 3-bet pot with top two.

    These spots are a kind of situation I think I misplay fairly often. What's your plan for this hand. I definitely don't love trying to raise/call the flop as we just get it in horribly vs a range that bet/jams. I call flop planning to fold heart turns and not fold non heart turns. Villain is super active with 3 betting preflop but i have no real idea as to how agro he is postflop. I don't think AhKx AhJx AhTx AhAx etc should ever be betting this turn. Call again and soul read river or does anyone like just jamming turn?

    i think raise calling the turn seems fine. Raise/calling the flop we'll probably be around 55-60%, but I think on the turn we're definitely well ahead.

    There's no reason why a hand like AK/AA/KQ etc should stop betting yet, given we just called flop. If anything most ppl would expect almost all strong hands but nut flushes to be somewhat vulnerable on this flop (ie: raising) so calling range is prob somewhat weak.

    Ok so I wouldn't want to bet AhAx AhKx AhJx pair hands here in villain's shoes mainly because b/c and b/f are both pretty tragic and we aren't really getting 3 streets on this texture from too many worse hands either on h or non h rivers.

    That said, I shouldn't assume he's thinking like me I suppose especially if you think this reasoning is flawed?

    Happy with just shoving turn eff stack is only like 3-4 times his turn bet?
