Villain in this hand is Kysus. Not a great deal of history (65 hands, vpip31/pfr23/agg1.2/3b 4.3) but have played some hands and been pretty ool vs them having realised via 2p2 that they are one of the winningest regs in the games atm

4x pre was a missclick that I couldn't bother rectifying. Don't think it changes his calling range much at all, 3x being my std.

Opinions?

mmmm

Well you got the money in vs a very strong range, can't be bad but feel like he's going to stroll along with 888 quite a bit here :(

I think I might just call the flop raise and go from there, obviously no intention of folding but keep his range as wide as possible, the more of those 250bbs that go in on the flop then the worse our equity is imo, keep his range wider and try get the weakest hands to put the most money in possible. Maybe c/r call blank turns, or just c.call c.call

I think 4x does affect the hand btw, if he doesn't know you and see's 4x he might assume you to be fishier, hence why he's really fast-playing his hand here.

actually i would call flop, c/call c/call I think, I know this is a very strong hand but I think it serves best as a bluff catcher here, obv bet for value if he checks the turn back.
We miss value vs 78 a bit taking this line but i think it's best overall.

c/r calling blank turns I think puts us in a "everything worse folds/better calls (ish) type spot" and we have not much equity if we're beat.

I know it's bvb, but are we always opening the off suit k-7 here? Especially against a bigger stack I feel we can get into iffy spots here, OOP.
