Poking_Fun bets t420, Good Nickname raises to t1020

Villain: VPIP 19% / PFR
17% / Button raised 4/7 hands / folded 4/5 to a 3 bet.

Hand occurred
early in the multi-fifty on FTP. Both of us have > 80bbs so were pretty deep.
My reasons for action are as follows:

Preflop: I 3 bet as the opener has
been active on the button and has generally raised first in a lot. I think there
is definitely the option of just calling and keeping in some weaker hands that
he raises in late position so my first question is whether the 3 bet or call is
optimal in this situation.

Flop: I flop well without hitting my hand and
choose to bet a solid amount. I am c-betting 100% of the time here to try to win
it early. Villain chooses to 3 bet to 1,020. At this point I think he can be
raising with air (assuming I missed), a straight draw, two pair, a set or even a
made straight (although I think he might just call if he has a hand like JT
here). In hindsight this looks a tricky spot.

My options are to call or
jam here as I think folding is weak and my hand does have value against bluffs
and other draws. If I call then I think he probably jams the turn a lot and I
cannot call turn. If I jam then I could win the pot here and still have the semi
bluff value if he calls. What option would you guys take here in this spot?

Thanks in advance.
Trevor.

i probably jam in this spot. kinda deep but hes really not repping too much, so often trying to blow you off AK,AQ hands or even thinking itll pressure you with QQ+ on that board

his raise is technically the 2nd bet so not a 3bet, but i see what youre getting at.

I agree to a shove.  Given that he has usually folded when 3bet to, I think he has a solid starting hand, meaning he probably missed this flop, but is probably ahead of AT high.  Shoving makes him fold hands like AJ+, and if he does call you with a hand you have plenty of outs.

Thanks guys, my action was to move all-in as I felt he could be betting as many non-made hands as strong ones. I think preflop in future I would probably choose to flat and play a pot when I am this deep as it will avoid higher variance  plays like this one where I could easily bust if he turns up with a made straight or a set on this type of flop.
