    If you don't know what to do with TPTK with a redraw to the nuts in a 3b pot with a 60bb stack, I'm pretty sure you have no business whatsoever playing 100nl.

    Yeah I'm cool with getting it in there. I almost want to bet the flop less because I'm not sure what worse hands he can call me with. Maybe KK can call a smaller flop bet?

    I kinda regretted the huge three-bet preflop though. Whatever, I'm just tired of getting pwn3d by AA/KK when I hit TPTK.

    uhhh 3bet isn't that big... I might go for $13 ish but it's not horrible. If they're only paying off with KK+ then don't threebet though obv although this is a squeeze so they should stack off wider. I'm probs betting muxh less on the flop with your stack size thogh, you're making it clear you're comitted which isn't really a good thing.

    I actually like the 3-bet sizing. You could go somewhat smaller on the flop, that way you can c-bet smaller on these types of boards with your air also. You are going to have no problem getting stacks in on the turn even with a half pot bet on the flop. What you went with is fine though, good hand sir.
