I was pretty much going for 3 barrels if a blank hit on river. I was kind of confused on this one.

emm, kinda can't understand what are you doing - valuebetting or bluffing ? I'd definitely go for a c/c on the flop. Then decide on the turn and river what to do depending on reads. He has a ton of Axs in his range, especially when he folds only 20% to 3bets. As played, I think we really can't bet that river unless you expect him to fold 2pairs. We're beat like 99% of the time, so c/f is the best option IMO.

bluffing, i dont really have c/c range on this flop, i was trying pretty much to level him but it seems pretty bad idea as we don't really have any history.

How do you balance your c/c range here?

Well, I'd c/c here all my weaker Axs, all Jxs and TT,QQ,KK,AA (maybe some combos of JJ and A8s as well). Then I'd fold some part of my range on the turn and river. I'm usually calling down 3 streets with Ax+ with some variations depending on reads and stats. I'd also c/f some range on the flop, like smaller pps, ofc we need some flop c/f range to make some sense for our opponent to bluff. We probably could bet 100% of our range on this flop and still be breaking even with worst hands, but we should be taking most +ev lines, not the easiest ones @nl200 IMO. Games are getting tougher very rapidly and we have to find smaller edges.

Yeah but I'm always afraid even c/c ing with Ax that someone can just valuebet you sickly thin because you always put your range face-up. And I dont like villains reading my hand face-up.

Yes, that's why you need some strong hands in your range. If we slowplay some sets + some of our hands will improve by the river, it should be pretty close for villain to valubet even AQ on something like AJ852. If we have A2s-A7s, A9s, AA, JJ on the river, we have 44% equity. He really can't valuebet anything worse AT here.
