Had bet 3 streets on kxjxk with at high before. Didn´t want to 4b get it in vs his jamming range.
3b 12% over 60 hands, AF 2.
Should I keep calling or jam turn.

Preflop I am either going to 4b/f here or fold full stop. I don't think calling is a good move as you are OOP and have the added disadvantage that you are not closing the betting. I actually think it is a decent spot to 4bet cold preflop given the positions and stack sizes of your opponents.
The flop gives you a reasonable hand here but by no means a strong one given the action preflop. A9, AK, AJ, AA, JJ, 99 etc all beat you and if lots of money goes into the pot then I feel you would be in a world of trouble. There are also lots of potential draws that could make the best hand as well that could be in your opponents ranges preflop and postflop.
On the turn your hand strengthens but lots of hands still beat you and he is not slowing down. I know you feel he is aggressive but 60 hands and one 3 barrel bluff is probably not enough to be sure hes an out and out bluff machine. He seems to be betting for value here so I would call again mainly as if you jam I think you get called by mostly stuff that beats you and if he has some kind of draw you might get him to bluff the river if he misses.
If he has a strong hand, all the chips are going in anyway so that doesn't matter.
If he has a strong draw, he'll call a turn shove while behind.
If he has a weak made hand, he may fold to a turn shove or he may not believe you have an A and call.
Looks like he has Jx, Ax, QQ, KK, or some combo draw.
I think I like a shove on the turn.

Is this still the rebuy period? That will make a difference. If it is the rebuy period I would be much happier getting this in. Also, AF is a really hard stat to use. Do you have his VPIP/PRF over the 60 hands?
Preflop:
I dont mind the call preflop, you are pretty deep so I can't imagine wanting to 4b/call off with AQ unless he is just an absolute nutcase during the rebuy period. A 4bet from that position with no antes in play will look really strong, so you may get a decent amount of folds with a super thin 5bet shoving range. Or he's a station and you just bloated a pot OOP with AQhh. If you are happy just scooping that pot then I don't mind the 4bet. I also don't mind a fold, this can be a tricky hand to play OOP in this spot in a 3bet pot.
Flop:
Our only option here really is to check/call imo. You are not getting it in with a worse hand on this flop, uless its KQcc during the rebuy period.
Turn:
We can never lead out here, way too transparent and exploitable. C/c can be good if you think he's just a crazy person and will triple barrel bluff you. Though I don't think there are many players at all that would do that after 2 c/c's on this board. I think in the end I like chk/shove best bc its the only way we can keep in any sort of draw or a weaker ace that may hit the river or check back the river.
I'm definitely not thrilled if I get called here bc I'm assuming his calling range is AK, AQ, AJ, JJ and not too much more unless he's terrible and 3bets A10 in this position. I'm trying to figure out if he would really ever bet this big with AJ since he's not really protecting from anything. Same goes for JJ. You block a few combos of QQ and a ton of combos of Ax. KK could be getting stubborn and put you on a draw not believe you have an A.
Maybe you can c/c and re-evaluate on the river. The problem is he's going to be checking back so often and you don't get any more value from draws, but I'm not even sure what draw he could have 3betting from that position with the Ac out there. Unfortunately there really isn't a way to play this that disguises your hand, but at least with c/shoving you have the potential of him putting you on a draw and calling with KK or QQ (still not sure he calls). I just find it hard to believe if you c/c the turn that he will ever be betting river as a bluff. If he has AK/AJ/JJ here you are losing a big pot, if he has AQ you obv split. I'm not sure I can fold this hand in this spot unless its against a nit and I know he never has anything but AK or AJ.
This is actually a tough spot bc his value range is so thin and its not a very good board to bluff at. Can we c/c turn and c/f to a blank river knowing that he's never betting with worse?

Think this is definately the last level of the rebuy if I remember the leves on Stars (been awhile for us American players). With a lower amount of bbs (if you were close to starting stack, for example), think this is a jam pre. If not, flatting is good, but once that flop hits, during rebuy I would have a hard time not jamming since ranges are so much looser. Is this a leak?
Exception might be if this is the FINAL rebuy hand before break, in which case I would probably just fold pre and take my 73 bbs to teh break.
If for some reason this is NOT the rebuy hour, I think this is a fold pre unless both players are total spewers.
