I 3 bet a tiny bit bigger pre. Turn sucks. I might sound like a madman, but I would b/f turn. I just don't ever see him bluffing here, especially since he's probably expecting you to call him off with AK, KK, AA, following that mantra of "we don't fold TPs in 3 bet pots". I think he has 88, 99 a lot; he would slowplay 88 on the flop and then c/r turn because he's afraid of the river being the 4th flushcard. He might have a turned Flush (you don't block any Ax FD combo). I think that hands like KQ, JJ and TT with a cross might find another c/c on the turn, but they are certainly not going to bluff now.

In a 3-bet pot, you can go about 55% pot twice, and jam the river. On a FD board without holding a club, your bet is too small.

Turn is a check back imo. You're trying to get value out of a pair + club, but most of his OOP pre-flop calls, so he often has a flush or no clubs at all.

As played, probably folding turn. There is no good rover for you, and it makes little sense to call turn and fold blank rivers. If you have a read that he does this a lot with AcQx type hands, calling down becomes more attractive.

Better more on a draw heavy flop in a 3-bet pot seems so simple and logical, where I as a beginning player ofter go to much for the "I suppose to bet half pot in a 3bet pot so I will do that no matter what" type of thinking. Great post!

If we check back turn, are we planning on calling all non-club rivers when facing a bet?

I don't know villians tendencies in 3-b pots prf, but it's prolly tough for him to have many flushes on turn other then A-high, and exploitatively, I don't think he check-shoves turn, and may not check-call flop.

I don't know our 3-b tendencies prf B vs co, but I would presume to say we can have more flushes then co. Given this, with our hand I would bet fold turn. There are not many good rivers for our hand and there are a few hands worth protecting against. I would go small, between 30-40%.

If you're never checking back flushes on the turn, AK is at the top of your range.
Combine that with the pot odds you'll be getting, it's a call.

Villian can be value cutting himself with a worse King, and he sometimes raises a FD on the flop.

would cbet OTF 70-80% to jam no club turns 

as played i like a ch OTT,but when ya never ch a Flush OTT,you likely have to call ..


but as always you can make exploited folds..vs passive players --easy muck(but then i wouldnt bet as much OTT)
