I think this is a flop where a BN caller can go broke with JJ.
I think V's likely range is TT - QQ and maybe 10% AA and 10% 88 - 99.
I think this is a mix between X and bet 1/3 pot. The flop doesnt hit your range but you are uncapped and so have AA, KK, QQ, AK which I think warrants a bet. However given the risk that V is flatting with 88 and AA some small % of the time I think I'm betting on the smaller size. I dont think BN is cold calling a 3! with 66 or 77.

I'll try to get back to this today. Just been focusing on a lot of other stuff the last week or so.

Agree - I like a 1/3 pot bet and fold to a raise.

I think this is a flop where a BN caller can go broke with JJ.
I think V's likely range is TT - QQ and maybe 10% AA and 10% 88 - 99.

I think this is pretty spot on and for that reason I wanna go pretty big on the river to rep AK and target JJ/QQ. I would expect TT to bet the turn and a flopped set to raise on the flop. I would be mostly afraid of 99.

Normally I think I'm supposed to check this flop or bet small. However, the villain's range is super condensed. And I think a good exploit here is to just go for the gusto against TT-QQ, and maybe 99. So I just went ahead an bet larger.

Turn is obviously terrible for me as 99 and TT both get there and JJ picks up a gutter. If he had bet turn large, I probably just sigh fold. I think turn is a clear check. If turn had paired the board or came a 2 or a 3, then I think I just fire again targeting the same hands as flop.

River seems like a very clear value bet after the check back on the turn. I don't want villain to check back JJ or QQ. And if I get raised it's an easy fold. I wasn't sure about the sizing though. I went with 60%, but I think I can just go larger because I really shouldn't have anything here. And I imagine JJ and QQ are never folding. The counter obviously is that I save money when my opponent does have 99 and TT.

The reason I posted this hand is more about the sizings used on flop and river. And to see whether anyone agreed that going exploitative against a condensed range makes sense.
