Honestly listening through this pretty quickly I'm thinking V holds:
AsQx or JsJx, with AsKx as a bluff (even though we have good blocker and is unlikely)
I honestly think V is value betting AsAx or even set of queens, I don't really see a flush line with this unless V had AsJs or AsTs
This is about as close as it gets. AA/QQ has you beat but I'm not sure they're betting 1/5th the pot on the flop. He's more or less representing the nut flush but we block AKs, there's no AQs, AJ-A6s is likely not 4betting. The only hand I can think of that would be a flush is maybe Aj-A5s. That's a pretty narrow range. I think a call or a fold is fine. AxAs is a real possibility because how do you have a flush w/ the A/Q out of the deck in a 4bet pot? If you had a set on the flop, you're probably raising that probe bet. I lean fold but I think calling due to history of him pushing you oop is also fine. AsQx is also possible.
I am going to 5b to 900 always. If you are going to play like this with KKs you might as well 5 bet and see if the person jams. If he jams you can fold. I dunno how many people at 2-5-10 faces a 5 bet with AAs is going to flat call back. Flop I would also lead out $400 if I flat called the $350 for blocker bet.
You can find out where you're at on the flop with a check raise. Otherwise a tough hand.
I’m folding. He’s got AA QQ a lot with this line and you have KK blockers for AsKos. He has more flushes than you cause you are not calling that 4bet OOP with something like Js10s or AsXs. But he is 4bet bluffing with those hands PF.
Guy with KK needs to step down 1-2NL
Villian looks like he was going to jam regardless, he was playing the player.
If I’m sitting there—all im thing about is “Is he balanced enough to have 4 combos of AJo with the Ace of spaces and 2x AKo with the Ace of spades, and could he turn TT or JJ with a spade into a bluff?” And if so I can call. Calling is only a punt if your opponent is the type to have 0 bluffs here.
He’s always gonna have 6x AA, 3x QQ, and some A-high spades in his value range…
Why does the villain have any more flushes in his range than the hero? Hero blocks the one major hand that 4 bets pre with the Ks, therefore the villain would need to be 4 betting reallyyyyyy light to have the nut flush here. A5ss A4ss really the only two that make sense. Not sure what I'd do but if you're not calling with KK here I don't know what you are calling with
I had AQo A of spades, that was a funny hand
