The SB cold caller is unknown, 2 hands. the OR which I 3bet is a 77/36 aggro monkey. Don't know what to make of this...do you call turn, river? Thinking a lot of Ah x can do this c/r on the turn but no idea what Ax would cold call a 3bet like that

SB: €104.82
BB: €101.00
UTG: €181.14
MP: €100.70
CO: €33.65
Hero (BTN): €100.00

SB posts SB €0.50, BB posts BB €1.00

Pre Flop: (pot: €1.50) Hero has K A

fold, fold, CO raises to €2.00, Hero raises to €6.00, SB calls €5.50, fold, CO calls €4.00

Flop: (€19.00, 3 players) 3 Q 7
SB checks, CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: (€19.00, 3 players) A
SB checks, CO checks, Hero bets €9.00, SB raises to €20.00, fold, Hero calls €11.00

River: (€59.00, 2 players) 8
SB bets €78.82 and is all-in, Hero

Those coldcalls are usually TT-QQ, AK or AQ, sometimes AA or KK slowplays.
However, we don't have any infos about SB, so he could also just be a huge fish and have a far wider range.

On the river you are absolutely toasted.
Super easy fold imo.
No one ever bluffs such a board with such a line.

The only question I see in this hand is whether to bet/fold or bet/call the turn.
I actually think that this is a fold, tbh.
I don't expect him to bluff c/raise such a board 3way in a 3bet pot and his value range is AA, AQ, QQ and flushes, against which we are in absolutely terrible shape.
We have little to no equity vs his c/raising value range and if he ever bluffs here, he usually has a one card flushdraw and some outs.
But one card flushdraws are rare, cause people like to play suited hands.
Also this line is super unlikely to be a bluff as stated above.

^ thanks, great explanations

Preflop

the OR which I 3bet is a 77/36 aggro monkey.

CO raises to €2.00, Hero raises to €6.00

Raise to €8 or €10, this aggro player will call anyways.

Flop
Standard give up.

Turn
Yeah I would bet around half of the pot as well, maybe €10 instead of €9. When he x/r you it really sucks. This could be a bluff, because you rep like only AK/AJ, the you c-bet with the rest on the flop. However, he is an unknown and we don't know anything about this guy and we may end up making a big mistake. I'd just play my range here.

Top - flushes, sets
Mid - two pair, TPTK+NFD
Bot - TPTK w/o NFD and less

Your hand is the best hand of your bot range or the worst hand in the mid range, so folding your bot/mid range can't be that bad.

You say we always cbet sets and flushes so villian may xr bluff our delayed cbet.Then proceed to say sets and flushes are the top of our range. This doesnt make sense as our river range never has sets+.
I think our hand is actually at the top of our range but i dont think we need to worry about been exploited until we have evidence that villian is capable of exploiting us in this spot.

Yeah I know what you mean, in this particular example we rep mostly what we have though.
