Tough to not get broke on the flop with a 3bet and a call if he shoves. He could have a flush draw or even top pair. Without any info I would go all the way.

Ah, the minraise of death! I think I would go with a 3bet on the flop for protection/value. Vs a shove it really depends on the player type. If they are very passive usually I would probably make a tight fold. Vs an unknown I think I would call a shove, maybe the backdoor clubs with the K♣: just tips it over, although that means they have slightly fewer flush draws. Tough one.

As played, the sizing on the turn really suggests they've got a set. Also the minraise on the flop often indicates strength rather than weakness. I'm not sure the average unknown is overbetting the turn here with flush draws or Jx. But yeh this kind of spot really helps if you have reads. If you don't then it's probably best just to wait for a better opportunity to get the money in. Always hard to fold an overpair tho! Against a maniac I'm calling this or just shoving every time.

I think i would prefer 3betting without the Kc and calling more with the Kc

I am bet blocking the turn. To his raise I fold.
That min raise looks weak to me, especially bvb on a drawy texture.
