But if you have some info about villian that he doesnt fold to a 3bet and likes to see flops then cbet seems okey.
I agree that Hero's range does certainly contain the hands you are mentioning: overpairs (30 combos), pocket 99's and 77's (6 combos), but will likely also contain suited 9x hands (15 combos), and maybe A7s & A2s (6 combos) = about 60 combos that hit.
BTN's 3-bet calling range likely includes the 3 pocket pairs (99, 77, 22 - for 9 combos), suited 9x (18 combos), some suited 7x (11 combos), maybe A2s and 76s (6 combos) = about 45 combos that hit.
Of course my ranges might be off a bit, but including all the other hands in both players ranges, I'm estimating that this flop hits both ranges fairly evenly (maybe better for Hero), and is certainly not terrible in my opinion.
