BB snap calls 3bet. Only 62 hands on him. His stats 30/12 AF1.9 3bet0.0
Call open from BB 0 out of 4
When he cold call my 3bet, I put him on big broadways, big pairs. As it's the first time he call from big blind since I sat down.
I opted to check the flop this time to balance some of my other trash and broadway 3bets and think I can get value OTT if someone hits. At this moment I dont think anyone has a 4.
Surprisingly, opponent donked turn pot, seems so strong. So from my perceived range, I put him on a pair from 88 - JJ and jam to try to get called by these hands.

"I opted to check the flop this time to balance some of my other trash and broadway 3bets and think I can get value OTT if someone hits. At this moment I dont think anyone has a 4."
So you're the pre flop aggressor and you wouldn't bet this flop with let's say AQ-AK, so what would you do OTT if some one bets into you?
I think this is the perfect flop for value for AA esp. if you think their range include 88-QQ and they might just might put you on AK, so to balance in this spot I think a better line would be bet flop check turn and bet river and you will get called by worse! And than you can do it with AQ and get them to fold better.
This is only my opinion, lets wait and see what other members have to say.
So it's definitely been a while since I've played online, but unless things have drastically changed, 25NL is still soft right? If so, "balancing" should not even be a concern. Players are not good enough to even notice, and you're losing out on a lot of value on that flop.
Any pair is calling, an overpair will probably call all three streets, given safe cards come, and even broadways may float the flop. We are just losing way too much value with a check, these are dream flops, and we definitely want to valuetown them.
Ditto on the balancing. Not even worth it, at 25NL just go for lines that traditionally are the best way to get value (unless you have significant info).
Id like to start by making your preflop 3 bet larger, its 25nl if hes not folding to 2.25 hes not folding to 2.75 or 3. Id recommend going to 2.99.
Your flop play is fine, dry as a bone I would bet here often however as you aren't getting credit for much and hes going to peel with a lot of Ax and all of his PP's. The advantage to betting is also that you are trying to build a pot to get stacks in, by playing trappy you are limiting the chances you can make this happen.
On the turn its quite apparent you probably have two overs, hes betting huge here because he is scared and wants you to fold. I think jamming here is fine. The only hand he could beat you with here is 77(realistically he isnt calling pre after 3b with 2s or 4s) and there is a chance he has ATs-AKs.
