AQ barreling against rock

I do not like the flop cbet that much. He will not fold PP, he may not fold overcards.

Try to avoid the lines which gonna chop your legs off in the long term, like bluffline as bet/check/bet. When you bluffig i advise to bet/bet/check or check/bet/bet. This will create more positive results.

You'd say is better 1/2 psb as bluff? I've been doing 2/3 psb lately mostly to resemble value!

I say you should not bluff cbet at all on this board. Just xb and see what comes on turn.
"Standard"size forcbet in 3b pot is 1/2 psb.

Hmmm, I see. Then for value would be 1/2 Psb flop, turn and 1/3 for the river so we extract good value?

And another question I have. What to do with villains which donk the 3 bet pot heavy (or not). Do we float them, let say with AK?

I guess it is not played well, your line is weak.
Also, cb flop - what hand the villain would fold? AJ+ would not, over pairs would not, the hand would fold here is only 33-66, but not even sure about them (it depends on his wtsd). So, u r trying to fold OTF 33-66 and may be AJs.
Turn is puts the draw on the board and you are checking wet board, you dont have As, so villain could have a draw, would you check it is you have TT+? I guess only TT you will X back.
River is blank, so on the villain's place I would call you here after u X turn with at least 99-TT.

I don't like the cbet with just A high. On this board villain will not fold any pocket pairs and imo he might float with any broadway cards too.
When you check the turn and bet 1/2 OTR you don't rep much.

I think opponent could be folding hands like 33, 44, 55, 66...

He could also be calling preflop with connected Ax and be folding those too.

In NL2 I do cbets 95% of the time unless I have notes on players, and it works just fine, too many fishes who want to take a look at the flop no matter what.

You beat the connected Ax anyway.
He may fold the smallest pairs but that is not enough.
95% cbet is huge, man....

No 3B pre unless you have reads that he calls light.
I agree with X back flop. If you know he's fishy then don't get tricky.

Very many players in NL2 call with marginal hands and will fold the flop unless they connect something. That is why I do cbet most of the time and find it a very profitable move. If villain has Ax here and we don't bet we give him the chance of bluffing the turn, which would put us in an awkward spot. Also, he may connect a pair on the turn, so we don't want to give him a free card. And even if he calls with a small or mid pair we still have 6 outs to connect our ace or queen.

In NL2 I only don't consider cbet in flops like 456 all same color.
