Villain only 100 hands, played 20/11.
Pre flop AKs in ip good the call or lot of dead money i always have to 3bet pre flop? Oop i think better play pre flop 3bet. And this flop, he called, so i thinked lot of hand his range what never fold 1 barrel, sometimes 2 barrel. 77++or slow played monster hand, KK++, So i decided not cbet this board, i hadn't got any back door draw. Only 4 or 6 out. And i cbet this board and villain call and turn not came the 4 out i had to fold for unknown player?

This hand is almost the same as this one: https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?postid=2896473#post2896473 that I just reviewed.
In that hand you did cbet the flop with 2 overcards and a non nut backdoor flushdraw. I thought it was a check fold. Now in this hand you actually do check fold.

What makes these hands different and why your thought process was different in so similar hands?

Your hand is perfect for a squeeze here. You can collect the dead money and if someone calls, you have a good hand to play postflop. You can attack some flops too.
