3,50 ~ Table 1 you 3bet T7 in btn vs utg. Flop comes ATxr and you chose to cbet. When thinking about the range villain defends pre in these positions, what is he really gonna fold besides maybe hands like 88-99, which i don't think everyone is defending either? It just feels like this board hits him to hard that even if we cbet and he cc a gutshot like KQ,KJs,QJs, how are we gonna win the hand? A somewhat likely scenario imo is that turn goes check check, and he leads river, and we can't really call. What do u think about this?

Also thought it was a good video!

You are right with your thinking and I'd probably check this more often than not. The benefit of betting is that we are almost never c/r on this board so we get a free card on the turn with 20% equity or whatever against Ax. He doesn't always c/c gutshots so we can prevent him from bluffing us off the best hand, and if we can pick up any sort of timing tells perhaps we can make a decision whether to call river if turn goes check/check. Without reads though I'd imagine just checking and hoping we somehow make it to showdown with the best hand is the best option. Sometimes I just end up auto cbetting when its close

First hand table 1

Are there any hands here that you would turn into a bluff? Do you think villain would fold Kx? And do you think he has Kx in his range besides KJs?
