Hi.

Flop: There are 3 ways you can play back at him here

flat and bluff River when checked to
flat the raise and lead the Turn
reraise the Flop

i think you can strongly consider flatting here, especially if you have better overs like AK/AQ. With QJ I think a Flop 3bet is fine. I do use your min 3b size a lot myself, but i'm more inclined to do it with real hands. I find that LAGs love floating such min-raises.

Flatting the Raise and leading Turn looks like a pretty cool option as well, it's more confusing and unorthodox and looks less bluffy

River: I really dislike the river play here, what are you trying to rep here? Overpairs? He probably jams as a bluff here, it's pretty obvious u dont have TX here. Would you lead overpairs here and fold to a raise?

I thought my sizing makes perfect sense. I wanted to rep induce bet or thin vbet cuzz his range is air heavy and i dont want to give him opp to bluff. And yeah why bet more when only thing i want him to fold is air type of hand?

Your 3b size looks polarized (overpairs or air) and he is being offered super cheap odds to float. Of cos your size is fine if he just raise folds a lot. I just wonder how true that assumption is.

Based on my own experience (i make this same play as u a lot) i tend to get so many calls. Here we risk 22 to win 66 so bluff needs to work 1/3 of the time. Probably easy to achieve 33% fold equity

you would often induce a raise with such a small size. Of course your size makes perfect sense if villain is passive and just folds. But this guy is aggro. best way to get fold equity and rep an overpair is to bet 30$ here.
