Hello guys,

PF: it is maybe a little bit loose, but I want to improve my skills in 3bet pots and this type of hand has a good playability against super strong range. I would mix it with some folds.

OTF: People usually play face up, so if they check, it means they (often) do not have AA-QQ, so I assume that his range is mainly from weak top pairs, 2rd,3rd pairs, AK,AQ... So my plan was betting 3 streets on some good runouts to exploit his check OTF.

OTT: The king is quite a scare card, hits his range a lot hands like KJ,AK,KQ,KT. So I do not think I have enough FE to profitable bet OTT and OTR as well.

OTR: After he checked, his range is totally capped imo. He should not have flushes, two pairs, and also Kx, maybe some weak. I think I can overbet here with all my bluffs, because I really do not see many hands which he is going to call rarely JJ or 88. Imo overbet is an autoprofit here, is not it?

Fold preflop. Especially when SB seems to be a nitty player (40 hands is not a decent sample but we can assume that it will not change too drastically).
Suited connectors are really good hands to defend 3-bets with, but 76 is too low.

I'm not sure if calling 3bets loose will help with your game in 3bet pots.
Flop I would be a bit bigger.

Did you notice that you have a straight OTR and villain is not very likely to have a flush when he checks twice?
Sure you get a lot of folds when you overbet but I wouldn't mind to get some calls from villain.

Yeah, I know, but I want to play the same line with my bluffs and also with value hands.

If you want to improve just find ypur own spots to 3bet or to 4bet other 3bets.

You shouldn't be worrying about that. If you are sure you have the best hand here, your goal should be to get as much money out of villain as possible, not make him fold everything. And if you want to get fancy and "balance" your play, you should know how your big bet affects your bluff to value ratio when betting and figure out if your whole range has enough bluffs to balance this big bet here. You might end up betting big with too value heavy range which lets villain exploit you by overfolding.

Preflop is a fold.
Postflop is fine.

Okay, seems reasonable, I have also flushes OTR. So which sizing would you use 1/3-1/2?

That 1/3 - 1/2 seems good to me. It really looks like villain is quite weak here and betting something like 40% of the pot might still get some calls from Kx and so on. I think he might fold those against anything bigger than half pot. 40% bet is also big enough not to induce so many bluffs. If villain would raise there I think we can fold.
