1/3 NL. 8 handed around 2am.

Reads:

MP ($250): 50ish white guy. He's been at the table for a few hours and his stack has remained somewhat constant. Tight opening range. He's not the type to get his money in light.

Hero (covers): I was active earlier in the session, but have slowed down due to lack of cards. I might have 3 bet once or twice earlier in the session, but haven't in a while. I should be seen as tight.

Hero is dealt KK in BB.

Preflop: MP opens to $15, 1 caller, Hero 3bets to $65, MP calls, other guy folds.


Flop ($145): 7 5 4
Hero...?

You realize his stack is only ~$185 and the pot is $145? Either just jam now or bet something smaller setting up stacksizes such that he'll never fold turn even when he thinks he's beat like 90 now rest river. Shouldn't matter much I think so I'd just jam so no ace rolls off allowing him to fold.

Also I doubt his actual calling range is 80% TT/JJ. People don't like folding to 3bets live.

Yeah, I messed this up in OP. The way I played the hand was to check to represent AK. Villain bet $35 and that's when I thought it was likely he had TT/JJ/QQ. Villains calling range preflop is obviously a bit wider than that.
