    I don't want to fold this. Feels like if he's a competent villain, we're gonna be seriously underepped here. If he thinks we have KK/AA, he has tons more sets in his range. He isn't to know we have blockers. This is a great spot for him to bluff, and as such our hand is a great bluff catcher.

    I want to call and then c/c river. Seems like we need to pick off three or four bluffs every ten hands or so. I don't think that's an outrageous ask considering we're underepped vs a competent villain.
    I disagree with us being "seriously underrepped". We have shown maximum strength and we aren't particularly close to the top of our range. We are protected by our sets and straights so we shouldn't be too worried about being exploited. This hand is not a very good bluff catcher as it doesn't (significantly) block the hands villain is representing and it will only rarely improve.

    Only OP knows if we're protected by sets or straights here. I don't think most ppl are 3b 77/88/99 deep OOP necessarily. Nor are they 3b JTs necessarily. So this could be the top of hero's range.
