Flatting a hand like AQo being OOP is rare in cash games. We are blocking 50% of AA and QQ combos. We may even be willing to bluff, adding these types of hands in a 4-bet range, being we IP. This is most effective when our image is tight. If we were wider the villain could adjust his range of calls and in that case we would be at a disadvantage. I think 3-bet is correct here.
The flop is good for the villain, as he has all the medium-scale connectors typical of the BTN position. However, we want to deny equity to those pesky hands that could improve on the turn and river. So a bet can do it. But we don't want a very large size either, since we have good blockers that help us defend the turn at a high frequency.
As played on the flop, the turn has a proportional impact on the ranges. I like the x / c line, because now we unlock the Kc, which is good for this texture, because if we decide to raise his bet, we have all the Ac-x combos in our bluff range, while we unlock for the villain 3 combos of AKo with the Kc, for which the V is far superior in equity. And regarding the hands that we consider in V OTF as 9x; 8x and 7x, we now compensate with our FD + GS.
On the river I check, for that V to bet with random hands like QJ and KT. Our range does not change on the river, so we have good form for all of his bluffs.
Greetings.
