AJs on SB x BB 3bet

Why open 3.5x from SB?
You can call that 3bet.
OTF standard.
Now villains play looks like missed broadways or total bluff. I think bluffing is ok but maybe psb or even a bit under should do it.

Im opening 3,5x on the SB with every single hand I open it. A range that is about 80% haha

When you open a huge range you should steal smaller because it will work as much. I use 2.5bb and many only minraise and the outcome is about the same

You wouldn't x/r flop?

Noo. I think it would mostly look weird in a 3bet pot. We might not call a 3bet with 2x or 66 so we are repping mostly draws and might face a 3bet shove from pocket pairs. Also the board is paired, what if we raise and villain calls and turn is Kh, we get nut flush but there is a chance that villain just got a full house. Also I think it might actually be easier to get value when we hit a flush if we just let villain do the betting.

I agree that it´s better to use 2,5x on the SB. I used to make it 3,5x myself, however now I use 2,5x and it´s better. Anyway, flop is ok, turn as well. River is troublesome imo. You don´t represent much, I don´t think it was right decision to shove there, I would just check back, we can still be pretty much ahead.

You don't make big bluffs to make him fold. You should size your bluffs as to optimize EV. This is very different from "making him fold".
