This is the 7th hand of a $5.50 1000 cap tournie on Stars. This early I like to keep hands in that I have dominated so do you like a flat in this spot or is a 3b much better?

As played, do you lead the turn? When villain bets overpot on turn is this an easy fold or would you call and re-evaluate on the river? If you call, what sort of cards are we looking for on the river to be happy putting more money into the pot?

3bet pre,

he isnt folding anything dominated and will still call multiple streets with Ax on Axx boards.

Would you 3b somewhere 180-270? Also, I'm not convinved we only have to be worried about 66. He could easily check back 88 and 44 on this flop, trying to slow play, then when the 3rd heart hits he wants to get max value, but doesn't understand I'm unlikely to call with weaker hands, or he could have a flush or two pair like 86s and be thinking the same thing.

all hands that hit the board cbet. 88 and 44 almost never check back, makes no sense. same applies to 86
