playing overpairs OOP in 3bet pots

Turn ($5.15) J (2 Players)

I played this hand yesterday and once again recognized how bad I am at playing those spots so I thought I might be able to start a small discussion.

In this hand I'm not referring to this particular villain but rather to the average reg since that's who we mostly face in those spots.

Villain is this hand is your average reg. Opening 20-25% in CO, calling pretty much every 3bet IP and playing somewhat snug OTF.
I expect villain to shove the flop with 2pair, NFD, KK:ss and wrap+pairs or wrap+fd, sometimes 987 but usually floating that.

Now OTT it's where it gets tough for me. SPR is 1,5. With SPR=1 I'd def just pot-shove the Jc since it doesn't complete draws and is no real help for villains flop floating range, which is mostly oesd(+pair), bare-non-nut-fd,9***, naked wraps and some KK,QQ I suppose. Obv he can have made 2p but that's just how it is.
I am doing quite well against the range I assigned him for calling OTF on that turn (is my syntax correct? I feel like I'm doing too well).

25%!AA:(78,9,345,KK,68T,67T, ss!(9,6,3, As))

-> The  'ss!(9,6,3, As))' means 'fd with no pair and no NFD' (correct?)

I have 52% vs that range so I obv can gii here. When I'm betting I'm obv not folding so is there any reason not to pot? Fyi, I play those spots in a vacuum since I'm not concerned with balance at 10plo zoom.


Thanks in advance! Already curious to hear what you have to say.
