Pre standard. Flop I hate cbetting here with A high and go for the check back. Turn the K and easy call vs probe from the villain as now can be pretty wide but nothing worse can call if I raise. Bet on the river clubs get there but a think a lot of his made hands I beat will check and what is bluffing there to balance off the Jx, 66, and flushes? Can I make a +EV call here?

As played we just call. People we often call a 3bet with KQs in SB.
Flush came in, but I don't think I can fold this. I don't love it either though. But I can never see a fold.

I don't mind the check back, but also we have A high, so maybe protect the nut high cards on the flop. Even if we fold out worse then it's ok, as we don't love A high anyway.
Also this is 3bet pot so I think people are more honest..

I think we could go bet, and then if called we check back the K on turn to induce worse on river vs PP's etc.
And in general if we get raised we can just muck our hand TBH as 3bet pot bluff when our range is uncapped is kinda suicide for these guys.

Line looks standard until the river . I like the small bet size on the turn.

I've called enough of these to see that it's most often Jx or a boat that doesn't want to raise the turn in case you fold.

It doesn't make sense for him to play KQ this way, and without having any hands on the guy I think caution is the best plan.

I think your line is fine. As for the river, I can see it going both ways though I'd be more likely to call simply because how underrepresented out hand is. Also, because of the villain's sizing we don't have to be right that often to make this call.

I think call river and this is well played. In a 3bet pot there should be rather few Jx combinations since most of the Jx villain will have will be suited. You have good blockers against both KJ and AJ too. As for bluffs there probably aren't a ton but there may be a few flush draws and straight draws like QTs as well. Given the low amount of value combos that are ahead of you it's not hard for villain to be bluffing enough for you to make the call. I also think you can be chopping sometimes against this line from villain.

Looks pretty good overall. Not super excited about the river call but I would imagine it is theoretically correct and that folding is too tight.
