A hand Entity and I talked about

[B Dids]

Nothing to be sorry about, I admit I'm a spew monkey when I play bad. I just like saying it publically so I can shame myself into player better.

Are the odds of him paying off with AA higher than those of him c/ring with KK?

I don't think so. He can't beat anything hero has except AK, which he doesn't have with this line pretty much always.

We can talk about the perfect line against a perfectly playing opponent all day, but that's not the question. The question is, what's the best line against an unknown 2/4 TAG? I believe it involves betting and not folding.

i could see SB either having AA or getting frisky with AJs or something often enough to make this a clear value bet, maybe you could fold to a raise, but i couldnt

I don't like the preflop cap given the situation. If your read is correct on the SB you are gaining anything w/the other two players in the hand. Given the SBs range and the other two with the frequency of overcards on the flop, just call the 3-bet w/JJ.

I like the idea of playing the flop faster and capping. As if he does have an overpair, AA, KK, the TAG will often c/r the turn and you'll get and extra BB. In addition if he's going to slow down w/AK, often he'll just check the turn here and you missed an SB.

Given the way you played it; I still bet the damn river. He'll have AA, AK enough to slow down and just call. It's thin but there is value in it.

If you checked the river:

I really don't like it. I think the fact that we have perfect relative position for hand protection and such on the pre-flop raiser is great, not to mention the fact that we are pretty much behind the range of standard BB three-betting hands even from a 9% pfr type.

anyway, your probably not too big of a favorite over his range, but i dont mind it with position over the 3-bettor and a slight chance knocking out MP1
