b/c it off very happily? You have an overpair + nut gutshot + pair which serves as blocker and also has some 2p outs. Additionally KK, QQ, K4, Q4 and 44s are likely not in villain's range very often.

I definitely think that KK,QQ or something like KQ is often in his 3bet calling range here. Why would you think he doesnt have those types of hand??

In this spot i wouldnt be very happy about bet calling it off cuz we will never be a big favourite getting the money in now. Not sure whats best here... Bet folding just seems bad and very nitty, checking would leave us guessing OTT and rivers so with a gut shoot and BDFD i would close my eyes and gii if i get raised. If he calls just jam almost any turn.

I guess I didn't express myself very well. He certainly has some KK, QQ in his range but he should at least fold a decent part of the KK, QQ range he's opening with given that he has to fear being dominated by AA.

I also overexaggerated in that I'd happily gii but I still think I would w/o any hesitation. It's tough for him to have a lot of bluffs but he also doesn't have many value combos and we're in ok shape vs most of them.
Last but not least, I don't expect to get shoved on but called almost always if he decided to continue.

Thx for inputs!

In game, I ended up check raising because I don't like all my other options.

Bet/call- we are doing very bad against his Gii range.

Check/call- we will be guessing a lot on later streets.

Check/fold and bet/fold seem so nitty.

If I was going to bet/Gii, why not check rasise and let him stab with his whole range?

vs an aggressive player (=stabb-happy) c/r is a good option.
 if unsure I would lean towards a bet/call. there is a decent chance he raises with a hand like AKJx or KJTx that we are a favorite against. Otherwise, once we called we can shove most turns.

It's important to always keep in mind the overall EV when bet/calling is not just the EV vs a stackoffrange but rather EV[taking the pot down when he folds] + EV[getting called and then take it down on the turn/get it in vs a hand we have dominated] + EV[vs a stackoff range that not only includes 2pair+].
In addition we want to bet this board pretty often as the 3better, so we have to merge our range and not only bet bluffs and KQ+.
