Co is a fishy guy who was coldcalling before and also did some fancy things like or/cap c/f on a 8s5s3s board. I only saw him coldcalling in the SB with 87o vs a BU OR so I can't really narrow down his range ( i would assume that he coldcalls 66-22, A7s-A2s, K9s, QTs-Q9s, J8s+, T7s+, 97s+, 87s, A6o-A3o, KTo-K7o, Q8o+, J9o+, T9o , not sure if he might 3bet the low pockets tho)


Whats your range that you're 3betting here? do you also throw in some small suited connectors in this line up?
[SPOILER]44+, A2s+, K9s+, QTs+, JTs, A8o+, KJo+, QJo[/SPOILER]

Whats your line on the flop?
I can see either merits for checking immedeately ,betting the turn to take a freecard and for betting the tunr with the intension to bet the turn.
I have about 20% against those ranges so I think in general I prefer to check here since I won't get a better hand to fold nor do I have enough sd value to bet the flop and tunr for freeSD and also since MP3 got a high c/r percentage I don't like to have to pay at least 2SB to see a turn

Turnplay:
I think i can get some Ax hands to fold from MP3 and CO can still have wuite a wide range and I got a lot of outs if I'm behind. SInce I think that most better pairs would have bet themself its a üretty good card which doesnt improve us to a pair.
After CO c/r us he still might have some heart draws or maybe J) or KJ himself so I was considering to 3bet but I wasn't sure if that's better than calling vs a guy I don't know that much but might be capable of some fancy stuff.


Riverplay:
DO you bluffraise anything here and if so which cards would you prefer?

i would prefer a flop cbet with my whole range here i think. multiway in a big pot we aren't going to be checking back our big stuff, so only checking back weak stuff is unbalanced. and since we are in position in a big pot with the strongest range, cbetting seems natural.

My preflop play depends a lot on how the blinds are behind me. If they are bad, I'll cold call more stuff here hoping they tag along. If they are solid its generally 3-bet or fold for me. I think this is a 3-bet given how frisky UTG is preflop. I think A2s, 44 are a few pips too frisky to 3-bet preflop, A8o seems a little frisky too.

On the flop I prefer a C-bet 100% strategy as well, basically agreeing with BBB's arguments. I think if the flop came really poorly like T98 w FD, we can start to check back some hands with a little more balance, although not necessarily this one.
