AQs bluff in 3bet pot BB v CO

What do you think about it? On the one hand, my opponent should not have AK, I block KQ and I do not block 2 missed FD. On the other hand, I block QJ, which means that I think my bluff could be too ambitious :)

I guess in theory this play is fine (your reasons for it are also solid), BUT...
1) I would size up pre beeing oop. More like 4-4.5x
2) Ppl tend to not fold anything after 2 FDs brick, which is why i would not do this play in general at the micros.
3) We bet pretty large OTT, so his range gets kind of stronger i guess.
4) Do you have any reads/stats about this player? This might change esp. this spot from beeing +EV to beeing too spewy i assume.

See, this is the 2nd thread here (one directed toward me) saying to size up to 4x+ on a preflop 3b oop. Is this like a newer trend? Because it seems that for a while there, betting 3.5x - 4x tops was about the biggest anyone was sizing these pre.

Not sure if its new....Been playing this sizings for longer. I guess even at lower stakes ppl tend to defend a bit more acordingly vs 3bets(calling whider) and so we want to set a worse price to counter that evolution

Yes it’s somewhat new trend. I think its Pretty basic to sizeup OOP, Because you want to set a worse price and have foldequity preflop.
It’s especially true when 3betting from BB because you should be more polarized.(hence you really want FE when 3betting a hand like 35s for example)
When 3betting IP i would say anything from 2.7x to 4x can be a strong sizing depending How you construct the ranges.
