Another hand oop, getting a pattern now embarassed

this guy was CL, opened 7 out of last 8 hands he could; 3bet me before as well, from BNT, when I had about 23bb, not sure if he was using ICM pressure, had me to take a shove or fold decision, or had a hand, no note on him, small sample as well.

Pacific, $4.50 Buy-in (10,000/20,000 blinds, 2,500 ante) No Limit Hold’em Tournament, 4 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager – The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 587,827 (29.4 bb)
Hero (BB): 381,014 (19.1 bb)
CO: 1,089,238 (54.5 bb)
BTN: 605,921 (30.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Kheart 7heart
CO raises to 40,000, 2 folds, Hero calls 20,000

Flop: (100,000) Tspade Aspade Kspade (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets 42,665, Hero calls 42,665

Turn: (185,330) Aclub (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets 92,665, Hero?

raises to 295,849 and is all-in, CO calls 203,184

River: (777,028) 8diamond (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results: 777,028 pot
Final Board: Tspade Aspade Kspade Aclub 8diamond
Hero showed Kheart 7heart and lost (-381,014 net)
CO showed Adiamond Qdiamond and won 777,028 (396,014 net)

Not sure I am being results oriented here, didn´t cooldown yet… But I am pretty sure i butcher this hand OTT yell

Here is my thoughts: this guy is bullying the table now that he is CL, so I take he is betting a lot os draws ott, like any spade, Qx Jx… so with the second Ace hitting the board, his Ace combos drop. I am unsure I am narrowing his range for better hands or GII is a good idea considering he has a lot of draws? maybe just call and call non spade rivers? I am thinking now reraise is the worst option.

I think there is one very important question you’d have to ask yourself on the flop : what is a good turn card for me? 

Probably there is none. Ok, maybe another K or non-spade 7. But that still doesn’t help you much as villain could have higher K or better 2 pair. 

Even though the villain is playing loosely, I’m folding this flop 100%.

Preflop and flop seem standard to me, I don’t think I’m ever folding or raising either street. I don’t like folding to future bets as a general rule, but if villain has been barreling relentlessly then I guess you could make an argument for a very tight fold on the flop, because there are very few run-outs that K7 is happy calling down on.

I think you are correct that the turn check-raise was a mistake. It’s understandable to want to protect your pair against all the possible draws, but I don’t think villain has as many draws as you might imagine. To have a flush draw villain needs to have an off-suit preflop hand, and a huge chunk of villain’s off-suit cutoff range has a pair on this flop. Similarly, a lot of gut-shots will also have a pair on this board. Even very aggro villains are likely to check back a hand like JT on either the flop or turn, with or without the Jspade.

I think it’s often wrong to fold second pair to a turn barrel when the top card pairs, but boards with 3 Broadway cards are harder to miss and harder to bluff. I strongly prefer folding turn but, if you are continuing, I think calling with a plan to call most rivers is best. This keeps villain’s range as wide as possible, and you will definitely catch some bluffs. Check-raising for protection means you are forcing weak draws to fold some equity, but also denying yourself what may be a profitable river bluff-catch opportunity. The range that calls your check-raise has you crushed.

Everything up until turn is fine, but turn is ugly. You’re just going to be faced with so many awkward river decisions that I think it has to be a fold. You have plenty of better bluff-catchers in your range – you do have some Ax, you have some pair+spade hands, and this hand is reasonably close to the bottom of your range in terms of equity.

I think the check-jam is a huge punt, honestly. Your hand is a bluff-catcher, and there’s no reason to check-jam a bluff-catcher into a polarized range. Villain folds all his bluffs and snaps you with all his value.
