We are unknown to eachother and Villian seems like a TAG: http://screenshooter.net/4567710/apnxphl

Preflop'
Imo flatting is highest EV, because it's hard to get called by worse if I raise.


Flop
I raise with my backdoor NFD and two OC my plan was to b/f and to shove most turns if checked to. Maybe flaoting the flop is better, because would I really raise KK+ and sets on this board?(in Vil's eyes) I also keep the pot smaller and therefore more advantage of being IP.


Turn
It's checked to me, but I got gunshy and changed my plan and tried to get to showdown and took a free card, checking behind, imo I should have stucked to my original plan here and shipped, because I think actually Vil would have folded enough to make the bluff +EV, he only needs to fold 33% and I block AA and KK's

- Vil leads shoves into me OTR, I folded, because I only beat a bluff, very not optimal played hand by me imo.

Comments on all streets appriciated thx..

You're not 3betting enough. What's wrong with villain folding? Do you make average of 550bb/100 with AKs?

Do you really want to float with a player behind to act?

What's villain's range for calling your raise? Blocking AA KK means nothing, you block all of 6 combos from his range which has little affect on EV.

i do not like your raise size, but now i would never shove cause no way someone calls basically half their stack on the flop and folds to this turn. 3 way pot i just fold, people hate folding. and you are really only repping a set.

imo 3bet pre is better than calling unless you have some squeeze monkeys behind but even they do not often squeeze light vs utg open and utg+1 flat.

If for whatever rare reason we flat here with AA pre, do you raise this flop? thoughts

Also, not to hijack but is it ok to basically not have a raising raises here at all?

Would folding this flop be too weak? I agree with blah that floating isn't really an option with SB still left to act, but UTG is cbetting BIG into 2 players so I would think that he is very strong here. As h8p5s said, your sizing is also pretty bad as it just hurts your SPR/ability to play the turn when called.

Villain pot cbetting this dangerous flop and having a player behind is enough for me to abandon wholeheartedly the idea of raising.

Nothing wrong with Villian folding, I was just thinking about which play was the highest EV?, don't you think A9-AJ and 22-88 probaably will fold to a 3b? A9-AJ I probably can get at least one street of value, when an Ace comes OTF. And 22--88 I think will bluff at least once if the flop comes with a K or an Ace.

No, I will always raise to get HU IP?

What's villain's range for calling your raise? Blocking AA KK means nothing, you block all of 6 combos from his range which has little affect on EV.

I think it's something like; 55+ which I only have 12% equity vs.

Board: 7c 6d 5h 3s
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 87.834% 84.09% 03.74% 1887 84.00 { AcAd, AcAs, AdAs, KcKd, KcKs, KdKs, QQ-88, 7d7h, 7d7s, 7h7s, 6c6h, 6c6s, 6h6s, 5c5d, 5c5s, 5d5s, 44 }
Hand 1: 12.166% 08.42% 03.74% 189 84.00 { AhKh }

So raise flop and fold faicng futher betting?

Preflop: I don't mind flatting if you don't have a 3bet range vs this player.

Flop: Use villain's bet sizing tell to befriend the fold button.
