Hand from Ignition 5NL 6max,
For some reason the reload didn't kick in this hand and get me back to a 100BB stack, so I only had roughly 75BBs.
Recently, I have been experimenting with x/raising in this sort of spot with both bluffs and good hands. Often I will 3bet in SB against a late position open and the they will call lots of flop bets with air and bet turn, or raise me on the flop. Anyways, do you all think the x/raise is a better play than just cbetting here, especially if you think your opponent will bet a lot when checked to.

I think Checking on A high board is suspicious especially in 3bet pot, by doing this you rep JJ-KK or even AA slowplayed. I like To X/R on flop i will often give up when missed like 983ds, it is a good way to protect your checking range.

On A, K high board you could Cbet flop and X/R turn, you rep a bluff that give up and take maximum value against float. This way you can keep bluffing on theses board on with you have a lot FE.

Might give this a try, especially if I am deeper when x/raising the flop isn't viable.
