Do you understand the action in this hand?
1. You 3B and BB cold calls. Can you come up with a range for him?
2. What hands from his range will fold vs your cbet, as you are not betting the flop for value?

I don't think we have alot of fold equity OTF. This range kind of hits him (hard to know what exactly he is cold calling a 3bet with). With Ks, I think it would be more enticing to stay in the hand. With this holding I think we can even just check/fold, but probably check/calling and betting are fine. I like betting once, especially if he folds alot to flop cbets. Turn card is not very good for us, so I would just check/fold. We are really hoping for K or Q and also A would probably be good for barreling, J would be good for bet or check/call and maybe 9 for check/call. As played, I think we can fold the river exploitatively. They will often have a flush (or better) in that spot and won't bet alot with 9-high flush.

1. All pairs and suited broadways

2. Pairs of 55 and below, and non spade broadways

1. I do not think villain will have 22-55 at all, but still you should see this:
MP2 28.89% KhQs
MP3 71.11% JJ-22, AJs-ATs, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, AQo
And the things he may fold are too small to makethis line profittable.

Unlucky dude, I would reconsider the cbet, the cold call looks strong, the board hits his perceived range

I would not cbet OTF. As played turn maybe could be folded? OTR is close too, I don't expect you to win this very often with a Q high flush on a paired board.

Turn is a xf, imo. Our FD is not to nuts, it will be obvious and we may not get value, plus board is paired and we may be dead even if we hit.
