Not sure what best action on the flop is?
Looking back wasn't sure on check-calling given we don't really want to be equity denied with such a hand, but this hand seems almost too good to check-raise with.
If we had AcKh we'd be happier just betting flop as we're fine versus a raise.

Looks fine to me.
In theory this board should be played super passive. So we should X/C here a decent amount of TP/2p and flushes usually.
So we are kind of bottom of our range OTT and face huge reverse implied odds if we hit the river often...

I think you somewhat right on giving some thoughts about x/R turn; You want to x/R as a semibluff something and this hand could be fine candidate. Though I'm not entirely sure here as his sizing tells that we dont have fold equity and w/o fold equity I wouldn't play back.

However something cool to notice that IP player just piles money (big flop bet and turn) which is should not happen. You have plenty of strong hands(not capped) and IP have no interest to invest a lot when 3bettor still have plenty of nutted hands.
Would be cool whenever you have strong hand to check as well and let him do soemthing silly.
