You said that you dont like the turn bet due to no worse will call.
I think betting here for protection, balancing and value is still a decent option. Without specific reads I say we shouldnt give free cards to any club that he might hold or to hands like XClub with a pair that we can get value from.

I think the video was okay, but a little on the basic side.

I wish players like kikka showed up more often in these videos. That loose fishy style is hard to play against when you dont hit anything. Do you ever consider cbetting less on the flop w/ air vs these types? What adjustments do you make? Only value betting, no semibluffing?

Something WoT used to say a lot in the micro grinder series that helped me a lot is against fish you can bet more when you have it and less when you don't, since they're usually planning to call or fold regardless of what you bet (unless its ridiculous ie overbet shove or minbet)

Is this not exactly the sort of spot where we are looking to setup a river bluff by betting the turn, given he almost never has a king and his range cant take 2 streets of heat?

Yeah the Kikka guy seemed to be so bad.. He was passive and calling a lot.. Because of that I think 3betting KQ on 66x board when he raises would be a disaster, I think he has 6 here a lot or something else that he is not folding there like ever..
Also because of that I think 3betting with A3o is really bad because he is so calling happy even in 3bet pots..

Think this is really really close, and I probably would lean towards calling. Blind vs blinds most shortstacks will have a super wide shoving range, and with 22 it's not that hard to get the 44% equity we need for a breakeven call.
