    No reads on this guy other than 33/33 over 3 hands which means nothing (it's the 4th hand of the tourney). How is this line?

    I think we can bet the flop but otherwise looks ok. I'm not sure what villain 3bets pre with and then doesn't bet this flop, I mean it's a great flop for JJ+ AK but draw heavy obviously, so checking this with the top of his range makes little sense. This river bet doesn't feel like a ten, I feel like he'd go for bigger river value after we call a potsize turn bet. I'm most worried about a slowplayed AK or AA, but I feel he's betting these on flop more often than not, so I'm not expecting to be beaten very often. Small 3bet pre could mean he has shitty pairs and plenty of Ax, so call and don't sweat if he has the goods.

    Looks fine but will guess that villain has AA.

    fwiw, I'm never betting this flop when villain checks it to us.

    Why not? His flop check tells me he's either folding or calling, and when he calls he usually checks turn, allowing us to control the pot for river. There's a little value, his min 3bet can be any crappy suited connectors and aces he wants to get cute with, and his whiffed pocket pairs are drawing thin against us so giving him free cards is hurting us.

    I'm not concerned about one combo. AA makes sense but so does Axs if he's a fish, and his min 3bet and potsize turn bet makes me feel that he is. On flop I'm giving him plenty of flush draws and gutshots, and only expect to be c/r'ed by the nuts.

    Maybe I'm wrong to have him so wide, but I feel like flop bet is really thin in value, while helping us to control the pot for later streets.

    I'm folding the river, I really doubt he's betting without a T here.

    I'm pretty tempted to fold every street you can. Pre I feel like you're just set up to lose big pots and win small ones or fold the best hand too much. I def fold river.
