Okay so i think pre flop is a fairly standard check behind BNT is almost never limp folding and is sticky in position SB is chip leader and a well below average player so I want to keep him in the pot especially with position. On the flop the SB never has a flush his range is almost exclusively straights and pair plus draw hands given how often we play together and reads i have on opponent. I think calling in the best play keeps all his dominated hands in and allows the BNT to call with similarly dominated hands behind me. When the SB checks on the turn i assume he's check folding all his straights and check deciding with hands that turned a flush. I think half pot is fine (maybe smaller is better?) The button tank calls and SB folds. The button typically acts quickly so i'm a little suspicious at this point but i assume 88d or 66d thinks a little before calling. I think my river play is terrible, although I'm suspicious that i don't have the best hand he has so many small to medium flushes that will check behind but would call a moderate bet size and if i bet something like 145-190k on the river i can pretty comfortably fold to his shove. I'll wait for some discussion to reveal results and appreciate as much feedback as possible.

As I said I had no read on villain, the club on board was the 8 i did not have the Q of clubs, but discounted that some because he may check raise AQ clubs on flop or turn and if he had Q9c/QTc may check raise turn as well. I think his value range is exclusively flushes as played and i think he has more 6x clubs combos then Qx clubs combos… It's hard to imagine he floated me twice out of position to bluff in this spot with no prior history between us.

Live game have little to no read on my opponent. I open KQ off from middle position for 7 and get a call from the BB. flop comes Q68 rainbow, I continue for 10 and my opponent calls, turn is 7 of clubs bringing a flush draw, I bet 25 and my opponent calls, river is K of clubs and villain thinks for a bit and bets 90. His value range consists of 6x of clubs, some straights that he doesn't check raise turn with and KQ which is also unlikely. Do i have a profitable call here theory wise with no reads on my opponent, or does he have to turn his 97/57 hands into a bluff on this river for a call to be correct. Will post results after some feed back.

thanks for the comments i did some math for this spot: i gave him a range of 22-66,K2s-KJs,Q8s,JTs,J8s,T8s,98s,84s+,A8o,K5o+,Q8o,J8o,T7o-T8o,98o,86o+ (sorry for the mess) obviously this isn't his entire BB calling range but an assumption of the range he bets on the river against this assumed range i have 29% equity with my A high. I need roughly 33% equity for this to be break-even so I'm guessing this is probably much closer to a call than not. If i didn't put this together correctly please let me know, thanks.

I think when i check the flop the majority of my range is A high, 8x, and JJ-QQ, id most likey bet 99-TT to protect against his Q high and J high hands id also bet Kx and AA most of the time. My read was if i check the flop he would almost barrel the turn 100% and then follow on non broadway rivers. His value is range is all Kx and 8x my guess is he is defending K6o-Kjo K2s-Kts 86o+ and 84s+(excluding A8s) he may 3 bet some of his worse kings but probably only a small percentage of the time. Given he is calling so wide and bluffing so frequently when i take this line i think I'm making a mistake by folding A high, at the time i thought distinguishing A high from TT-QQ was incorrect. My question: is folding A high on this board to this sizing a mistake from a GTO perspective?

Yeah I agree A high has to be some percentage of my calling range, he ended up having K9, but I'm still okay with how I played the hand…. thinking back though i overestimated the amount of air in his river betting range given he only called from the BB, and his 3betting range was most likely very polarized in that spot

First Time posting so please excuse the format….
few notes on the table massive chip leader around 160k to my left playing super LAG but def a component reg no direct history with the villain but he had been running over the table (showed cold four bet shove with A7 off after opponents folded pre) This is a 10 handed table FYI
Blinds are 600-1200 with a 200 ante
hero on the button 55k AJo
villian(chip leader) BB 160+
pre flop: action folds to hero makes it 2500, with the intent to four bet a BB 3bet (villain had been 3betting aggressively from all positions). SB folds and BB calls… At this point I'm putting on some pairs 22-66 and some weak connected hands
Flop: (7600) KK8r villian checks hero checks
Turn:8 (7600) BB leads for 5500 hero calls 5500
River: 9 (18600) BB leads for 20000 hero calls 20000
Final Board: KK889
i think the flop and turn plays are somewhat standard, I could bet the flop but i like to check in these spots and call down on safe run outs against aggressive opponents. Id also check back some 8x as well as Kx, KK for balance. The river is interesting b/c i rarely get there with better than A high i have some Kings in my range as well as 88 and 99 but, i don't think there is much difference between A high and TT-QQ in this spot because I don't expect BB to overbet 9x, also i didn't expect him to have that many Kx in his range as id expect him to 3bet them pre. Basically i beat all his counterfeit pairs and his random J7o that he plays this way. He does have 8x as well but like i said at the time i thought A high was good enough to call(plus its almost the top of my range), is it better to fold Ax and call with all my 8x to this sizing? haven't run any math yet i'd appreciate as much feedback as possible ill give results after some discussion, thanks
I think I like betting turn and river more than checking either street especially against this player who is very unlikely to fold his medium flushes. I think he's limping incredibly wide pretty much every suited combo as well as slow played big pairs. My river decision was determined based on live reads i picked up on turn.
