In.

Against a bigger bet you dont have to defend as much.

I actually think this hand was misplayed on every single phase, at least my default line would be different on each decision. I mean, as Anomic said, its not probably a huge deal if you just call pre, it can be done profitably I think, but I´d still 3 bet it rather than call. Also the logic of "wanting the bb to come along" is very bad in my opinion - you don´t really want to play poker out of position against 2 players, do you?

On the flop check-call would be my standard play since the board is dry and not connected, so you can expect a cbet often. The turn and river are the streets which are the worst played parts of this hand. It makes absolutely no sense to bet out on the turn since an ace hits the board. Your hand is part of the range that wants to just check and try to show the hand down, it is not strong enough to go for another street of value. As played the river is a fold 100% of the time with your hand.

Yes, you need to win around 15% of the time when you call so I´d never be folding here.

Betting for value is a good play there. On a draw heavy board it is in general better to bet larger than dry boards so nothing wrong with your sizing. I would go for 75% of the pot but it doesnt make much difference imo.

I would cc turn and cc river with this runout. K doesn´t really hit his range very hard, as mentioned earlier its only like AKo with spade (3 combos), KsQs, KdQd, KsJs, KdJd and maybe KsTs so I guess barreling is fine as well but I think I would prefer to give him a chance to spazz some random floats and flush draws.

Call is fine pre flop, I´m folding flop vs. that sizing.

I´m always doing what Disharmonist says but I agree with taaazz and FIVEbetbLUFF :D

I think your river play is terrible. I think you should bet the turn a little bit bigger, like 2.6-2.7 or so. I think QJ is a decent hand to bluff river some % of the time but once you get raised you just have to fold.

+1

Call.

Oh, and actually, as Limp Limpson said, vs 3x open, I wouldn´t even 3b this hand. Fold 100% of the time.

pre-flop is a losing call. Its a fold or 3b. Post-flop is standard.

Nothing wrong to play for stacks vs a villain like that. I like your play. Usually fish´s min cr range is pretty wide too. Obviously when he raises over your flop re-raise his range becomes stronger but given that he is a fish he may still have hands like 99-QQ sometimes plus some random spazz. Given your description he may also realistically have some sort of a straight draw or gutter, which would be out of question for reasonable players. Of course you sometimes run into his random 8x or 55 but with AA its definitely +EV to play for stacks.

I would go for a small river bet of about 1/3 pot. Also, raise to 0.4 pre-flop.

Well played.

In my opinion definitely fine to just flat the flop check-raise. Would anyone consider checking back the turn to induce some river bluffs?

Never folding.

Yes, kafrinius explained the main point. You just have so many better hands to 3b bluff with that if you start bluffing with a hand like A2o your 3betting easily gets way out of line. You should first figure out what hands you 3bet for value in that spot and then add enough bluffs so that your 3 bets consist somewhere around 60% of bluffs and 40% of value hands.

A2s is a good candidate to 3bet pre-flop. I´d say it´s definitely more "standard" than flatting it. I would also consider raising the flop. Turn stab is ok and so is the river give up on a jack.

Easy fold pre-flop with A2o. As played probably check back flop and bet diamond turns.

Against an unkown NL25 regular, I think this is a pretty clear fold on the river. If he is value-shoving the river with AA-JJ, AJs, A5s and A4s, we would need him to have at least 14 bluff combos to break even. I think that is unlikely given the general aggression at this limit.
