overconfident triple barrel?

Looks fine to me until turn. There I would just check and give up.

I wouldn't cbet the flop. You are out of position, villain called a squeeze so he should have a lot of pocket pairs and overcards. I don't think you will get many folds. But since the sizing is so small I guess it could generate enough folds. Turn bet is unnecessary and river too. With these sizings you don't achieve much. If villain has some weak overpairs like 99 or TT he just keeps on calling. Or the you induce bluffs. What exactly was your thought process when you decided to bet all 3 streets with 30% of the pot sizing and with A high?

trying to make people fold 99+ with this line in nl2 is rather optimistic. you might get a fold from other pairs ott or otr but i don't believe in this play at all

Thanks for all feedback so far. It definately makes me rethink the hand.

This was my initial thougt process:

Flop: dry flop, so i tend to bet small (30%) with a wide range. This range includes overcards like AQo. What I did not take into consideration enough thoug is that: (1) i am OOP (2) it is a 3-bet pot, and hence villains range includes a lot of overpairs. If I were IP in a single raised pot I think the c-bet makes a lot of sense but in this scenario I probably better check the flop as suggested by la55i

Turn: again small sizing used which achieves nothing. I had not put enough thought in this decision looking back.

River: no missed draws so betting A high as a bluff does not make sense as I will get too few folds here. Hands that called flop and turn will generally call river and have me beat.

Yeah I think checking OTF is definitely good. I'd just cbet 1/3 because it's a part of my strategy my coach recommended me to do (to cbet 1/3 with 100% of my range in 3bet pots) and I wanna be consistent with it .

I can sort of get why your coach recommended that but not completely.
People do fold too much vs cbets. We can cbet a lot more than what is optimal. Using a smaller sizing probably makes it even better because they fold too much vs small cbets too and it gives us better risk reward ratio. On the other hand, according to my population analysis, people fold vs cbets slightly less in 3bet pots. I also dislike those general rules a bit.
This could work in the lowest limits but the higher you go the more important it gets to pick correct spots for these moves.

Did your coach explain why you should do this?

What's happening here heh
half pot's fine on flop what Snowie does and you can include hands like AQo some too then barrel JK, maybe T turns too
or go bet check bet on J+ rivers

Turn check why are we barreling small, river large bet is better than this by a lot
I'd say check>bet big>bet small

That blanket advice for 1/3 will work on most boards IP not really oop

So I asked him, and I had to misunderstand him ♦ . He said that advice was meant for a specific situation ♦ . But then he also said, that I can do that on dry boards 100% of the time.

Alright, sounds good. But I do agree with LemOn and I think that works better IP but would careful with it when out of position.

Preflop I would squeeze as well, I think that´s clear. OTF I wouldn´t cbet, I would just give up. Why? Ppl are stationish MW, they completely overlook its mw and play it as single raised pot, so I would bluff less and go wider for value. That being said, AQo has no potential, we are oop. Villains gonna have PP (which are never folding) or some Ax we dominate. So why would we want to fold out worse Ax, if we hit an A we are gonna get value... (same goes for Qx - we dominate KQ, QJ). All in all I think AQo fits pretty well into x range.
