hmmmm, i think you could go smaller PF to start. idk about the other guys but i try and go ~2.5x on my 3bets, specifically so that in spots like these–where i’m 3betting light–i can go smaller.

 

as for the flop, am i the only one that doesn’t really like this texture? there’s just not that much for us to represent except two sets and over-pairs. if you do bet i don’t see any reason to go more than ~3300-3600.

Half pot to alittle over half is fine this deep, I like half though.  I do like betting this flop though, depending if I had been aggro recently or not.  It’s a 3bet pot, you’re supposed to have overpairs a good amount of the time, it shouldn’t be unbelievable that you have one here.  This flop doesn’t hit a lot of his range, thus if he flatcalls your cbet you may be inclined to barrel the turn a good amountof the time to get him off lower pairs as the only hands he flatcalls a 3bet pre that can stand heat on this flop to the river is JJ, he should be folding 88 pre unless hes really stubborn.  He could be flatting a lot of KQ/AQ/possible AK/99/1010/maybe AJ preflop which means this should be a nice spot to bet flop and barrel the turn sometimes, but not always.
