Here i hit a confusing card,i improve to GS and oportunity to bluff river clubs,and my hand looks like the most blocking hand to Jx,but im def just reping Jx+ at this point.

Here besides having the best blocking combo,i just coudnt see many hand7s he woulda folded, but i think i was pesimist thinking that 77 99 TT didint get to the river,its still seems little that he will fold,and the river also complets T9clubs and 88. What do you think of my thought proccess,how would you play it in all the streets?

looks good
in a，3bet pot， facing an ace and still with high card I would not recommend bluff on the turn，because the high cost. And the fact 80% time your opponent has better hand. Unless your opponent has tendency to fold AK.
well played I think.
How looks your ch flop range?
I like your line. I'd fire river some fairly high %, but less than 100%. I think your flop plan is exploitable, there's no reason to polarize to a small betsize to Jx+ and bluffs, a strong opponent should have no trouble punishing that.
I'm surprised that you would fire river a high % of the time. Do you do this because you think it's an effective play because you expect a lot of folds because of his capped/weak range? Or more because how you would play your range and you would get to the river with a fair amount of strong to nutted hands and therefore can also bluff quite a bit with hands like KQo and QTs with BD flop equity?
I feel that villain's range has a lot of decent to strong bluffcatchers OTR so intuitively it doesn't feel like a great bluff, but I can kinda see that you do end up with quite some value combos OTR and therefore can balance that out with bluffcombos.
The flop size looks a little to small but the rest seems good.
It seems to me you have very little fold equity on this flop because basically all you get villain to fold is 55/66 (which you can get to fold later anyway if you check), off-suit KQ (which you block), and a few combos of weak Axs. On the other hand consider all the pairs, trips, gutshots, and Ax that villain never folds. So I think a better flop strategy would be to check most of your range (including this hand), and possibly bet a large size (close to pot) with some Jx and all your T9s/98s/T8s gutshots (beacuse those hands block some of villain's Jx, in addition to... being gutshots). Sorry for all the parentheses.
This seems like a great alternative.
So I understand the reasons it doesn't make sense to polarize to Jx and bluffs for half pot, but i'm not sure i'm on the money as to how a strong player would easily punish that...
Is it to do with knowing hero's strategy of somewhat splitting his ranges and in return overbetting often vs his checking range and playing well vs his small cbets in position?
Or does a strong players default strategy just punish this strategy without knowing hero's strat, so maybe hero is doing something fundamentally wrong (like the half pot really polarised cb strat that doesn't make sense theory wise) and in position will exploit him from stuff like having profitable stabs often and denying hero the value his range deserves?
Maybe im missing something obvious, be nice to hear some thoughts.
You pretty much answered your own question pretty well with everything you said :)
isnt it with htis hand a 3barrel or nothing ?
notrhing is statiic i know and 100% ,but villain expect ya to bluff the turn high % ,so that he "believes" ya you have to shoot the third barrel ,or am i wrong ?
to get out his TT-,perhaps some weak Axs(doubt but maybe looks really strong)
But i dont know yr cbet stats in 3b pots in wwsf ..and history between both of you
i can onl see that you check ..so next time bet ..he will believe it and call only with jx and some Ax
when ya see him calling ..adapt ..
I think you can 1-2 barrel and shutdown. not very many hands call flop + turn to fold river.
i think CF on flop might be best actually.
