Preflop
I can't pass up opportunity to catch a set IP being so deep.

Flop
So far so good. I was considering raising right away on the flop, but:
- I expect his range to be extremely wide here, because of the BTN player
- his sizing shows me he is weak
- he folds a lot vs raises

Therefore I decided to flat.

Turn
Plan is almost the same as OTF. Even though he might have some flushes, I think I'm not gonna fold to a river bet.

River
He 3rd barrels and bombs it really hard, close to the pot. His sizing is pretty inconsistent: firstly, he bet smallish and now close to the pot? Looks like 3x or sick bluff. Either way I am just about to raise for value. What is our best sizing? I guess probably a min-raise, because he spazzed once against it, but that was a different situation (he bet/3b AI 66 on Jxx mono sqzed pot without a redraw to flush).

a) Min-raise to $260 will give up fantastic pot odds+a chance to spazz out
b) Raise to $325 will leave him with ~~ 24% pot odds - leaving myself some money behind might look weaker than standard shove
c) Shove to $535.55 will give him 39.2% pot odds and is unlikely to get called, but if he somehow has a trips/FH/flush and is not going to fold then this line will get the most value out of him

what site is this?
i raise flop to induce, no way he folds overpairs or flushdraws or 89etc and he gotta have something to get money in anyway when you say he is "one and done" often
shove river as played.

I think you played the hand fine... now jam the river.

Your read is that he's one and done IP, so he's not likely to run a big bluff (even less likely deep and when you raise river). Your other read is that his sizing is related to his hand strengh so I'd say river he won't bet this amount w/ AA/KK/QQ (he wants to be called by worse).

Your range looks ultra strong anyway when you raise, flushes/boats so to be bluffing you would have to turn 88/99 with a club and TT/JJ into a bluff (unless you shew him a big bluff river or you have a really bad image).

The miniraise play is FPS imo. Your read (spazz vs miniraise 1x) is on a completely different spot where you didn't rep that much and I guess it wasn't deep; plus you saw him spazz only once vs a miniraise. His range is strong/yours as well => unlikely to have a bluff (deep, your read, ur range looks strong)/a thin value bet with this sizing (KK/AA/trips); you want to get the most value against flush/boats and maybe a weird straight.

I would shove or raise between 300/400 depending on what he folds more when we shove. I guess the difference doesn't matter that much cause your range looks strong either way, he won't fold a boat and an A high flush; he probably folds the same range.

think its fine too since his betsize river says he s finally strong

everyone coldcalling pre?

I made it $325 and Villain tank folded.

everyone coldcalling pre?

yes as stack said very good opportunity to setmine

everyone coldcalling pre?

not if the BU didn't fold to 93% of 3 bets.
