Hero??

Preflop: BTN is a reg playing 21/19 in 75 hands. No info of how he plays vs 3bets. Vs a minraise, I decided to 3bet bluff. I think it's totally fine vs that sizing. We could even just call.

Flop: Hit a bottom pair + BDFD + overcard, so I think cbetting is standard. I believe he will fold some hands that we beat, but still have equity vs us.

Turn: Since he could have some mid pairs, like JJ or TT, should I cbet on this card (probably with intention of bluffing the river) or should I just give up since Ax is probably a big part of his preflop and flop range?

Well the ace is better for your range than his + I doubt he has AK and you block some AJ so I think that betting the turn should have some fold equity.

Just have a plan on what to do on different river cards if he calls your turn bet.

E: also double barreling more on 3b pots is nice to discourage him from floating flops.

Call pre seems better. No reason to blow the pot with such a trash hand. As you played you should bet OTT. Representing this ace is your only hope to win the pot. If villian calls i would give up OTR.

I think betting is fine. A lot of lower Ax fold so we play against a very small Ax range and I think he will fold out most of his hands here in which we will get the pot.

This flop hits his call3B range. The cbet is not that clear cut.

You 3bet bluff pre so I think you can pretty much give up post flop. Another way to play this is go all the way. That A definitely hits our range harder than his but be prepared to fire river too.
