10/20$ Deep hand, preeflopp play justified with read?

UTG: $15791.84 (Hero)
HJ: $2230.30
CO: $6257.20
BN: $5879.90
SB: $2030
BB: $5903.65
Wzap guys! Thought we could discuss a interesting spot from 10/20$ the other day.


I can remember i played a full day, games have been running lately and been logging a bit more hands than in a while. I guess the shutdown at 25/50 and 50/100 has increased the traffic at 10/20 with a few marks. Up untill this hand i had sort of a breakeven day, a few good hours in the start but a rougher ending and i guess this hand is a bit of a spot where i just could be forcing action but i still cant decide what to think rly.

I thought i would give u my line of thoughts to see what you have to say
Preflop ($30.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A 9 T 8
Hero raises to $80, HJ folds, CO raises to $294, BN folds, SB folds, BB folds, Hero raises to $936, CO calls $642
Std 4x utg, Co 3b's.

Co is one of those deep reggs that i cant rly decide if they are rly good or just spewy. Ofc he is good but i feel like he is over 3 betting a little to much deep with pos. I sort of understand how his range looks like and that alot of it is weighted towards hands that can call a 4b IP with high implied odds and position and a decent spr.

But he will still have all like AAxx KKxxds here also. And it might not seem to be like a great idea to 4b. But its feels like with such a strong hand will hit the good end of many wet flopps where he will think my 4b range is suuuuuper AAxx heavy. Also it protects my 4b range a little towards what board we connect on and im not superhappy 4b premium combos utg vs co that does not have a A *blocker* in them.

Im not shure this defends my play at all or maybe even makes it worse, but it was my line of thoughts in the hand and the sort of the way i feel in a lot of spots where i 4b light pree when we are superdeep i feel like it works good overall even tho its highvariance as well.
Flop ($1982.00) 5 J 7 (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO bets $1198, Hero calls $1198
On the flopp i think we can use the board coverage 4betting this combo gives us. I think structuring a balanced checking range is important here also since im not superhappy just jamming every AAxx in my range here with stacks this deep, i think we should prob check some AAxx with flushdraws to jam over a bet from FI with in another addition to protecting our checking range.

However i felt like i could c/c this exakt hand since i think we get such good implied odds if we hit the nuts on the turn and he will have a lot of sucker straight and 2p's+gutters and stuff we can checkjam get it in vs with killer equity.

Turn ($4378.00) 5 J 7 7 (2 Players)
Hero bets $4319
Turn is sort of a sick card, when i think about how my range looks like and that i have tons of AAxx that i would prob want to openjam with after peeling a blank. Like AAlowlow AAhighhigh. And i cant c/c stacks of here either with so poor equity. I guess the question is if we get a freecard so often after checking we can bluff on blanks or c/c with a str8 on the river.


Since when we are crushed when called here im not shure i can justify the jam either.

Its going to interesting to hear what u have to say, i have the feeling im gona get crushed by the Masterposters here but still its maybe something i need to remove from my deep game to get better. 


All the best guys
