Was playing about 70% of hands over 60 or so and raise pf about 15%

its hard to say.

sometimes i will play the hand exactly like you did and expect to lose. i feel like i just pay off here. but the only thing i'd do differently might be to check the river through (seems too weak though).

other times i'll 3-bet the flop since I have position, its heads up, i have ace-high, i have a bdfd, and i have a feeling that BB is an idiot.

Looks fine to me. I am thinking about just calling the turn and the river. If he does not have an A he might fold to the turn raise. If we just call him he might bluff into us on the river again. Plus we lose less money when we are behind.

I'm pretty sure you can fold the river here if you have a read that this guy is reasonable.

Other than that, VNH.
