overpair in 3bet pot OOP (kind of standart spot)

Blinds: $1.00/$2.00 (6 Players) BN: $256.57
SB: $207.32 (Hero)
BB: $200.00
UTG: $413.15
MP: $1451.39
CO: $418.91
Preflop ($3.00) Hero is SB with 6 K K 5
UTG folds, MP raises to $7.00, 2 folds, Hero raises to $23.00, BB folds, MP calls $16.00
Flop ($48.00) 7 J 9
Hero

villain is opening on a looser side in MP - 25%, but sample is small. Not really sure how to navigate in this spot best. Embarrased to admit, but I just XF'ed. Any better options?

Pre is close and I don't feel too strongly either way (3b or call).

Flop we just have to x/f I believe. We will have a bunch of stronger hands in our SB 3betting range that we don't really need to "defend our checks" with weak AA/KK. Also, this board should hit MP's 25% opening range pretty hard as well.

I'm a little newbie in plo but I'm not a fan of the 3b pre. doesnt look like we're pushing too much equity and also we dont have great playability on flops that don't contain a K.
I'd say this board is quite a bit better for his range than it is for ours (correct me if I'm wrong), so i would probably check my range in this spot. KK no backup is probably at the very bottom end of my range here so i think we can fold quite happily fold to almost any betsize :)

OOP I think we just be always tight and only 3bet strong aces like AAKJ or any double suited aaxx ahnd whihc will hit a pretty good flop at least 33% of the time, then we had some double or single suited rundowns like KQJT or QJT9, just hands that hit the flop very hard and we can still call 4bets with oop

I'm bit surprised that most of you strongly prefer calling preflop. The way I see it is this:
--opponent is quite loose, so will rarely have AA - only 12%.
--we can very easily fold to 4bet, because we rep strong OOP vs MP open and he is IP, so not much point for him to 4bet anything else than AA
--against $fi25!AA we have 59% equity. That's a huge advantage.
--playing 3bet HU pot with big equity advantage here seems better than playing single raised pot HU OOP or 3way with worst absolute and relative position

With this hand we flop {FD, bottom2p+, OP+OE, OP+NUTgut} 40% - that's not too bad, or is it?

Yep, we have equity advantage, but I'm not sure that it covers your position disadvantage, 90%- equity realization, reverse implieds, and 11,5bb already lost in 12% of cases.
