3bet SB vs MP - Facing river overbet

Blinds: $0.50/$1.00 (6 Players) BN: $109.51
SB: $201.79 (Hero)
BB: $120.48
UTG: $191.64
MP: $172.96
CO: $108.00
Preflop ($1.50) Hero is SB with A K
UTG folds, MP raises to $2.20, 2 folds, Hero raises to $10.50, BB folds, MP calls $8.30
I size up a bit because I'm 172.96BB deep with the initial raiser.
Flop ($22.00) K 9 7
Hero bets $6.27, MP calls $6.27
Being deep stacked I want to proceed with more caution than normal OOP. As nut advantage becomes more relevant again with higher SPR. Generally I would check a lot OOP, K high boards being the exception. Go for small sizing because I don't have nut advantage but do have equity advantage.
Turn ($34.54) K 9 7 4
Hero bets $30.50, MP calls $30.50
After IP didn't raise the flop his nut advantage got decreased. The 4 doesn't change that (doesn't uncap). Which allows me to now start betting polarized. AK is definitly a solid value hand to do this with. If I would check this hand I likely would check/jam.
River ($95.54) K 9 7 4 6
Hero checks, MP bets $125.69 and is all in, Hero calls $125.69
I still have a very polarized range on this river as my main bluffs QJ, QT, T9, heart draws, didn't improve. Which would lead me to jamming myself. My checking range are mainly bluff giveups, with some traps in there. Randomized this hand to check 20% off the time.
Once I get jammed on I have to call any value hand I checked.

Nice to see that you are playing nl100 atm. You deserve to climb the stakes, mate!
Interesting that you choose to check river on a low frequency as i would triple this one 100%.
Still some 2p and sets in villains range, but some of them might choose to raise earlier in the hand (wet board and beeing deep). So i guess these combos can be reduced a bit in villains range. So blockerwise i guess calling this off should be fine.

Agreed.

Which other strong hands would you prefer to check? KK is the only one that comes to mind. 99 is a barrel that doesn't block calling range. KQ then I guess. Not sure how blocking his bluffing range affects these things. Should look into that.

Hey, not many thoughts on the hand, seems well played! Can I ask what sizings would you have on the turn overall? Tnks (and also nice to see that you're at 100nl)
Also besides sizing what are you changing on the pre-flop range deep?

In the SB I don't really change anything on my 3bet range. BB would be a different thing because we just get greater implied odds with a lot of hands. SB has no calling range for me so we don't call wider.

Can I ask what sizings would you have on the turn overall?

Would depend on what your strategy is. We're betting very often on the flop which leaves us with still a wide range. I doubt that betting often again is a thing. This would mean we only continue with a polarized range, big betsize. I try to simplify flops and turns to a single size strategy and only split sizings on river.
Range would be AA, AK, 99. mix but mainly bet KQ, QJs, QTs, JTs, heart draws. Mix but mainly check KJ, KT, KK.

I think this is well played and the river comes down to villains line. In my game, you’d not be calling expecting to beat a single value bet. are you here?
