How do I improve this spot? (unable to price out a draw)

[OngBonga]

I'm not sure 3betting $3 makes much difference, he still has decent implied odds to make the call (which of course you want), and if you 3bet bigger then there is more dead money for him to steal when you b/f AK, semi bluffing becomes even better for him. He's gonna be giving you like QQ+ AQs+ AK and maybe some random Axs >0% of the time, idk what your stats are but it sounds reasonable. So he has great equity against your QQ+ with fold equity against your whiffed Ax hands and plenty of dead money to steal.

Bikes nailed it, standard from both sides. Not really that noteworthy either, I guess you can note he r/c ATs utg 130bb+ deep, then c/r nfd and calls off stack, but you should probably assume a 23/11 is capable of taking such a line without notes.

3b more pre, nice hand, win flips

Ridic standard.

If you flat the flop, then you need to be confident enough in your read of his range to fold a turned club for pot.

Is there any truth to this, or is this stupid ongbonga logic?
