Hero ?

he probably makes calls like this pf with something like 88. maybe 22. but i think he would also be able to do that with AQ/AJ and some bigger pairs like JJ/KK/QQ/AA (but AA and KK are very unlikely) i could understand his flop call/turn lead with most of those holdings. i would def think im usually ahead here. but i'd like a call more because he is never drawing too many outs and you might get more value from the AQ/AJ and some rare Arag suited cards i guess.

on the river i would def bet if checked too and call if bet too.

call and see what happens on river

just shove

this is AQ/AJ a lot imo

also i don't think this is a set hardly ever and he could be making a blocking bet with K's, Q's, or J's and not plan on folding to a shove

shove or flat / call a shove or shove if he checks, both are fine this is a 100% no brainer who cares what his stats are TPTK with AK in a 3-bet pot for 100bb is the ABSOLUTE nuts

call and call his allin or shove yourself @ riv

@Tim how is this a set hardly ever. apart from the fact that they are rare anyway?

randomly potting preflop is not good when it results in a pretty bad 3bet size; I would raise it up to like 12 to ensure that no one overcalls with decent set odds - unless of course I expect shortie to overshove and then I attempt to isolate the other caller(s).

utg donks 2x and you repop button to 12 with ak? thats a pretty bad overraise in my view. i raise this to 7-8 depending on how often i expect V to call the raise. the fact that SB villain overcalled doesnt really give reason to overraise button either

shove

Haven't noticed we have the button sry; I still raise it up a bit more to than 7.5 I think

I think that most players wont play a set like this (although it is a good play against a thinking player).
So I think you are up against a weaker ace or worse. I might prefer to call turn and call/shove river to extract more value.
I agree that your 3 bet size is quite small, I would raise to ~10

raising to 7 seems perfect imo. 6 would do. we have AK in position. we want action

but we also want to have HU action and some value out of it
i would go for 8

shove people at NL100 do this trying to control the pot =|

call and call any river.

idk, i just never see people play sets like this...evvvvver

i suppose it is possible but i think most of the time he's going to be c/r'ing flop or continueing to trap on the turn

Well he could flat a set wanting the ss to overcall and then when he folded he doesnt want a check behind and donks the turn. No reason for raising imo, just call and prolly call a river.

shove

this isn't even worth discussing, AK in a 3-bet pot on a Axx is the absolute nuts get your house, bike, future babies and shoes in the middle

re: the preflop discussion. If villain is calling the larger 3b oop with worse why not bet as big as possible?
