This seems like the best line to induce/pot control OOP in a WB/WA situation. My thoughts were since I had the Ad the chances of a flush were fairly rare for a normal raise UTG/call range. If he had a Q he would check behind the turn or river normally so this is a situation wieghted towards bluffs. Thoughts and suggestions where you would lead/fold/cr if you would are appreciated.

This was a fairly unconventional line for me but seemed to be best vs the villain as he was forced to have wide ranges pre and OTF. When he c/ced the turn I figured he had to have a draw or maybe an overpaid pot controlling. When he led out on the river it polarized his range to QQ/AdKd/Kd9d/9d8d and I had blockers on all except 2 combos which bets that big for value and bluffs. 98os and QJ made sense but I was playing fairly tight so I put him on a bigger draw... Seemed like a bluff a high % of the time so I called the river. Thoughts/opinions on if I overplayed my hand appreciated. I can explain the my thoughts for the raise OTF later if you guys think that's bad.

what did he have?
Ever consider a x/r otf in hand 1?
Hand 1: Preflop is small. I don’t have a check range OTF, but if you do then obviously you should be capable of showing up with some AA.
River’s close. Call is fine against high roller type.
Hand 2: I’d rather 3! pre in the CO. As played I’m fairly confident flop is a flat. Turn bet is fine in a vacuum, obviously, but I’m a little worried what your range looks like and if villain isn’t accidentally exploiting you.
River is close. Based on his behavior in past hands, the unorthodox line, the simultaneity of this river blanking some draws and bringing in a “scare card”, and my concerns about your turn range, I’d say you made the right call.
