NL5 Facing riv shove..

Curious, are you always checking behind OTF? Is it a good spot to cbet here with Ac to fold out the broadways and 22-55?

I'd expect villain's sets to lead out OTF on this board most of the time, and not a lot of 2 pairs that 3bet against UTG. I think I'm calling here to target combo draws, and just take my lumps if it's AK, AT.

BB would need a **** ton of bluffs to make folding not print for you, that i dont think people have. They could be shoving worse, but without seeing them spaz out before, im leaning towards fold.

I would fold pre while we're still in the no rake zone, even to a lower 3b sizing. Expecting this range to still be significantly more linear (AK+ heavy) than GTO so we get to exploit under-defend without losing any sleep over it.

no way folding pre vs unk BB is profitable??

According to GTO. yeah. We can quibble about BB's range being wider or not, which will vary by player, but broadly speaking AQ is not doing well

You might make it profitable versus certain players with certain reads granted. But the chances of us messing up this spot is high enough to lean towards caution.

(think of it like this: if gto is struggling to milk it, will i really do much better vs a more than likely even more linear range?)

You could say there's a case for BB having more weaker Ax i suppose. But those are rarely three happy street type situations even when we cooler them.

bb has 42 vpip can you also solve from a exploitive point of view?

On 5nl fast 6-max 3bet ranges are super thight vs UTG (AK,QQ+) when they 3bet from bb even thighter.

I would fold pre aswell, also because we are deeper than 100bb. This is also not a spot where I expect to print money with AQo.

If we look at the hud we only have 12 hands of this player (that is nothing).

But lets assume his range is wider and we do call preflop..

My intension in this spot if I call preflop with AQo is to go to Showdown cheap and hope we beat some of his weaker range. When we hit like a straight or 2pair go for his stack. But i would not bluff with this hand (to good of a hand in our calling range) I would use my small suited connectors (65s) or smallpairs (22-55) to bluff or my low suited broadways like QTs.

OTF:
There are checkraise strategy's from OP So his check could mean a trap, but most likely that he missed. I would check behind hoping for cheap Showdown.

OTT:
He bets almost 50% and I would just give up (fold). If we call I hope he checks the river.

OTR:
Always fold on these levels. Your money is coming from other spots! Trust me overfolding the river must become a skill on 5nl fast -6max. If he bluffs its very bad play on his side. But 95% this is a value bet. He could have played AA, AK, ATs,A9s,A7s like this.
