Overbet, if we were taking the 3b route what sizing would you suggest?
RedWhite, I believe he is check raising most pairs on this flop, some draws, and an occasional bluff.

The reason I chose the 3b route (even though I'm
still unsure if it's correct) is because it blends my range the best on
this type of flop. I should mention that up to this point I was playing
hyper aggressive due to reads but also due to
a nice run of cards. Do we agree that 3 betting this flop gets our
opponent to fold all but the top of his range? If so, wouldn't our play
be dictated on how often we perceive Villain to be check raising sets
here?
My assumption is although this flop is difficult to
check raise, it's also dry enough where you can check raise any pair and
most draws and get your opponent to fold specifically because your
perceived range is so slim. If opponents are
playing cautiously against a check raise on this flop then it seems
reasonable to expand your check raise range if we were Villain to
include the top 70% or so of our range.
Thoughts?

Continuing with the hand, opponent calls the 3bet and we will throw out a few possible turn cards.
Kx, Th, Ax, 8x
Our opponent checks. Pot is $1500 and effective
stacks are $1255. What is our action given each of these turn cards and
sizing if action is something other than shipping? FWIW I don't believe
all four of these cards dictate a shove on the
turn.

I find this to be an awkward spot that comes up often enough to warrant some discussion. Here is the hand:
Effective stacks ~3000
Hero raises to $60 UTG Ah8h
BB calls
Flop Tx 2h 3h
BB checks, Hero bets $85, BB raises to $230, Hero raises to $685.
What is the plan if BB calls? If BB ships? Does your action change if flop is Th 2h 3x instead? Is my raise size too small?
Generally I feel like calling the raise puts you in a spot where you need to hit to win because all future streets become more difficult to bluff once you call. Granted if stacks go in the middle you are either up against a set or a combo flush draw like 54hh, you at least gain equity from having all draws dominated.
Any input on the four different turn cards anybody?
