If we check the turn, we are essentially giving up. But is there any sense to bet this turn? I'm assuming villain has close to this range in this spot: QQ-TT,ATs+,KQs,AJo+

What is the purpose of the 3b preflop?

Steal. Using position to make him fold a lot of his range pre. I'm keeping AJ,ATs, A9s as bluffs in this position. Range differs a bit, this session was a bit too loose, so the 3-bet w/A9.

Do you have info that he folds much?

I'd rather use AJ,ATs, A9s as a 4-bet bluff range. Other than that, I'd say we cannot call here OTR and show we are giving up OTT indeed.

I think pre 3bet is not very bad.
OTF ok.
What do you think about betting turn too? Imo it would have great fold equity. When we check there we tell villain that we have pretty much nothing.
As played, river is a fold.

What hands that called flop will fold on turn?

Not many. But I guess that was my point. It has huge fold equity.
It is true that sometimes villain will have the hand we are trying to rep but that is not a big problem. By betting we get info, prevent villain from outplaying us OTR and we do not let him see free cards with his draws.

As played villain could bet river with JJ,QQ,AT etc hands which would have folded OTT. And we have to fold to his river bet.
