AK 3bet pot IP

Villain is a 14/11 winning reg with a fold to 3b of 75%

My notes on him:
Capable of folding 99 on 9TJ 200+ BB deep against huge shove. We played a pot where he folded 99 multiway when we were really deep and I had raised preflop and 3bet jammed flop

Thoughts about my entire line? I don't like cbetting because we'd fold out QQ/JJ and also our hand won't look too good facing a checkraise

bet flop

If your not betting this, what are you betting on this flop?

I like how the 4d completes 2 out of 3 possible draws =[

I'd prefer a slightly larger 3bet, to keep his range predictable. If you'd done that, then I'd like the flop check, but since you didn't, please bet flop.

As played, you look like AK/KQ/KJ/QQ/Tarp so you can maybe find a fold on the river, but i'd probably call in the moment too.

hes pretty solid with a relatively high fold to 3b so i don't see how the 4d improves his range

how big are you 3betting pre? IP i usually just use 3x

yeah it's not a huge deal, but the fact that you 3bet pretty small he could decide to get tricky with a SC or call AQs type of thing, also he's def. going to setmine all of his pairs.

If I'm in a spot where I'll be 3betting light, I usually go a little smaller, but if I have a tight 3betting range IN THIS SPOT I'll make it enough that setmining would be marginal at best, IE he has to call 9-11BBs with 100BB effective stacks.

Now I think you should be 3betting moderately here, so I'd probably go with $5.50, if he didnt fold a lot or if he'd raised in EP i'd go with $6-$6.50.
