AK 3bet pot

this play is not a problem up to nl100 and under. Betsize is a question

You're line seems alright. Board is a little bit wet and I would most likely size up the flop a little bit to like 35-40c for protection.

nice hand

This flop hits villains range more than ours in my opinion and the turn card isn't exactly the best barrel card. We don't rep all the sets whereas villain does, and villain plausibly has more Jx, Tx not to mention a healthy amount of KQ, 98 who already got there and hh hands that might make moves. The sizing also can induce raises from a range that can barrel a bunch of cards that improve his hand, for example gutshots on the flop who may look to raise that small flop bet with equity and then barrel turn cards that improve his hand. I'd prefer to find a different spot to continue our aggression.

I probably prefer giving up or as played flop, only bet turn improved.

bs, villain called the flop vs a tiny cbet, his range is pretty much capped. on the other hand, we are uncapped and have still J and T sets plus all the overpairs.

No need for the bs call.

I was talking about on the flop. We don’t rep 77 and villain has more KJ, QJ, QT, JT combos as well as all the set combos of JJ, TT and 77.

Villains range is capped so he doesn’t have QQ+ and ours isn’t you’re right.

When villain calls he’s capped yeah but the small bet opens us up to too much playback imo vs his value hands as well as his back doors that put us under pressure.

But in different side vs cbet on turn too he can folds for example 88-99, Tx. Sets, 98 and maybe JT should raise on the flop vs 1/3 pot size bet. Check-fold is weak with two overcards,brodaway draw and backdoor flush draw on the flop so You prefer here check-call?
And he can still Has here QQ+ I see many hands like people just call 3bets with this hands.

I prefer x/folding here to betting small without knowing the overall plan for the hand. We could consider x/raising flop with the plan to continue on any heart and a Q, tougher to say what we should do when K and A lands on the turn as it completes some draws.

Something that makes this tough for me is that good barrel cards also help his range and in my opinion we have to bet three streets here because villain has so many draws unless we plan to go bet/bet x/call. I just think we run into too many tough spots against a range that hits this flop better than we do and would prefer to find better spots.

What was the river plan if he called?
