CO is 17/15/3B-6/F3B-89 over 169 hands tho most not today
BTN is 22/20/3B-18/F3B-100 over 54.
Both seem solid TAG but I have no real reads.
BB is a massive fish who will cold call 3bets with any pretty hand and will call flops with any pair/any draw.
I have been playing 30/25/3B-8 and my image is aggro but not too bad.

At the time I squeezed hoping BB would come along and the TAGs would fold. When I reviewed the hand I thought maybe calling to encourage the fish to come along may have been better but then I am oop and when the flop comes overcards I am rarely getting to showdown.
When BTN flats I put his range as TT+, AQ+, I have given him no reason to think I'm squeezing light but I can't see him set-mining here.
I hate my turn bet here, rarely getting called by worse or folding out better- when he checks flop I think a lot of Q's are in his range but he isn't folding them, TT just got there, JJ is the only unlikely holding that he might fold. I just thought if he has done something spazzy with low SC's or something I turn my hand face up by checking twice and he could get me off the best hand by betting - stupid I know.
The river is a fold, right? Every hand in his range got there and it looks like a bet that he wants me to call.
So, my question is, should I bet a flop that smashes his range or would I have done better to try and check my way to showdown and fold to a bet?

I don´t like pre.... why are you squeezing??? when you expect that the villian will only continue with TT+, AQ+ this is not for value nor as a bluff. SO this is the fors thing to think about. If the Tags are calling like 88,99,TT, KJ, JQ, JT pre than you can 3-bet. OTF and OTT i would not bet you are folding worse hand and only gets called by better as you´ve said. On the riv I´m betting for value with my set like 4 dollars

His 3-bet % is 18 so I think we can assume he would have 3bet that range him self. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some weird Axs hand here. The only reason I can see for a call is to gain information. How many hands is his F3B over? Thats whats confusing me, what hands would he not elect to 3-bet him self but call with?

I suppose I squeeze here because I plan to be 3 betting and squeezing this table with a wide range and if I don't have decent value hands included in that I will be very exploitable (I know it's the micros but I want to get in good habits as I move up).

The flat call possibly threw me, as he has been very aggro and if he had 4bet after calling pf I was getting it in - I don't think I had been aggro enough yet for him to trap here. So I put him on hands that were too strong to 4bet/fold - in my experience that can be AK or TT, that want a nice flop before committing more chips. The thought that he would have 3bet those himself didn't cross my mind and is an excellent point - definitely something I will take away from this.

I still think this is a tough spot - if we check flop and turn do we x/c turn and river, or x/c turn x/f river or jus x/f turn - it just seems weak and exploitable to check the flop and then fold to any bet of a rr pot.

Villain actually had AJo and thought he'd take a flop IP, turned the nut straight and value bets the river - I called because I am a donk sometimes even though I knew he had an A, I convinced myself he might have rivered 2 pair or something. I don't like his play much, he will get owned a lot of the time if he defends with AJ and flops TP.
