    Default 25NL - TPGK in BB vs BU

    Looking for advice on how to best play this hand please against a loose aggressive villain. How far can we take TPGK against this villain in BB vs. BU?

    Tried to exploit villain tendencies by calling down a decent showdown hand.

    Questions
    1.) Comments on turn?
    2.) Is this villain's range be wide enough by the river to include KJ- to consider a call?
    3.) Thoughts on alternate ways to play this hand more effectively?

    Villain is 29/16/4.00 over 45 hands (14% 3-bet, 33% ATS), no specific reads but was having a rough time, he got coolered on KK<JJ and got stacked on the flop with TPTK by a set.

    16% PFR is not a very loose range, nor is 33% ATS with his preflop range. Especially over 45 hands, which is nothing.

    I'd let him bet the flop, to exploit his tendencies. but I'd raise him on the flop. The only exception is if you've seen him bet three streets without top pair.

    Do not ever automatically assume a villain is very LAG unless you've seen him showdown a hand that shows it. You can end up trapping yourself. Which might have been what happened here.

    you have options;

    -3bet preflop
    -C/r flop, I like this option if you think he is on tilt. otherwise c/c is fine since very little hit this flop and its unlikely to become a big pot.

    On river, imo he will check back all one pairs 55-Kx so he is either vbing Ax or 4x. Since there very few draws on the board imo can safely put you on at least Kx and he is still betting vs you. Given we dont know his tilt tendency id give him credit and fold river.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.
