Villian is a relatively unknown player, but over ~50 hands hes pretty lag 41/37/2.7 with a 39% 3bet out of 18 chances.

Anyone have any thoughts on this hand? My play felt rather weak and I'm not sure where I should put in more action or if I should have. I'm thinking his capping range could be AQ+, AJs+, TT+, and maybe KQs? What should I be thinking after he 3bets my C/R on the flop? Does Cap flop / lead turn and slow down to resistance after that sound better?

Yes I agree with your last sentence, cap flop lead turn call down raise. I also would consider calling his flop 3 bet and donking a safe turn just because I think people take free cards with overcards here a lot but your hand isn't so strong on this all spade flop.

Its always a good idea to agree with DD, and I do here.

Of the two lines, I think I prefer the call 3 on flop and donk turn.
Hero's equity goes up when the turn card is a non spade
vs hands like AQ with a spade.
And it avoids giving a free card.

Lets say we capped flop and the turn brings a fourth spade how do we play the hand? Do we check call twice, and if villain checks behind turn do we bet river?
