    Default weird context spot, aa vs reg 3b pot

    villain is ok aggro reg
    i'm running drunk this session cos dropped, 26-20-7
    he is at every one of my tables. We started a few together
    we've been allin over a dozen times this session, i won one at showdown with Q hi after shoving turn, he won one with J hi, etc. I've had it a bit though...
    he's down 5 stacks to me so far.
    and now i 3b him and i have it. But flop unfortunately comes K hi, his range is his entire co steal range, about 38%, sans the nuts TT+AQ+ he'd be continuing aggro pre. His steal range is tending high cards over suits.
    what's my plan?
    $0.10/$0.25 No Limit Holdem
    8 Players
    Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($78.71) 315bb
    UTG+1 ($25) 100bb
    MP1 ($30.83) 123bb
    MP2 ($25.35) 101bb
    CO ($35.26) 141bb
    BTN ($8.40) 34bb
    daven (SB) ($28.94) 116bb
    BB ($27.71) 111bb

    Pre-Flop: ($0.35, 8 players) daven is SB
    4 folds, CO raises to $0.85, 1 fold, daven raises to $2.90, 1 fold, CO calls $2.05

    Flop: ($6.05, 2 players)

    The plan is to get all the chips in the middle. Are you posting drunk too?

    remember there are a lot of Kx type hands in his range given he's opening CO and apparently not folding after that. It doesn't necessarily have to be bet-bet-shove; if you vary up your bet sizing frequently, pot + pot shove is perfectly reasonable with stacks (but if you never make a pot sized bet, now probably isn't the time to start), or you could throw in the occasional c/r or even c/c from time to time.

    i don't think he checks back a king or better here, and bets his air quite a bit here
    so he's basically weak made hand.
    I really wanted to do this on the turn, shove if he raises, but?

    Turn: ($6.05, 2 players)
    daven bets $3.21,

    Betbetbet is the standard.

    As played, I really just want to overbet jam the turn against this guy with this dynamic and a belly-full of booze, expecting to get snapped off by all kinds of weak made hand crap.

    Seems like a no brainer re-raise or bet on the flop depending on what the villain does. Most likely hand seems AK and on that basis you want all the chips in the middle.
