This is an $11 ACR freezeout.
This is the fourth or fifth time villain has 3bet me at this table.
Given that information, maybe ATo can be a call here, as I don’t think it is absurd to put worse suited tens or aces in his range. I don’t expect it to play super easy post flop however.
ATo is the best hand I’d think twice about folding here. I decided to turn my hand into a bluff. A couple questions.
How’s my sizing pre?
What is the post flop plan?
If effective stacks were shorter, or had raised slightly larger pre, jamming the flop seems nice. 😀
What do we do if villain checks and turn is a brick?
Thank you!

I don’t think the fact that V has 3-bet you before should influence your range terribly much. Against a large button 3-bet, ATo should be a pretty standard fold. Just because he could have worse doesn’t change the fact that he has all combos of better, and there are a lot of combos of better. I don’t hate 4-betting, it’s better than folding, but I think suited Ace combos are better, and if you do it with lots of suited Aces plus ATo, you are going to end up with a really weak/wide 4-betting range. Spazzing into aggressive 3-betters does not really punish them. Often, in fact, it gives them exactly what they want.
As played, I think bet smallish (~1K) planning to fold to a shove or to jam most turns if called.

Joel,
Are you assuming V has 3-bet 9 times because his 3-bet is 9% over 100 hands? Because that’s not what the 3-bet number measures. It’s (number of 3-bets)/(number of opportunities to 3-bet). So in pots where no one raised in front of him, he didn’t have a chance to 3-bet, and that hand won’t count towards the denominator.
