Once this guy calls a pre flop raise and puts a sizeable amount of his stack in OTF I really wouldn't three bet him all in here with ace high, his call with King High basically shows you he will be calling with anything and never folding. I'd prefer doing this play with a solid one pair hand or ace high with a draw against an opponent as loose as this. However you were unlucky but I don't think this play is profitable In the long run

Villain opens UTG > calls your 3bet > bets pot on the flop

What part of his range do you think A high can beat here ?

Whatever he has, he's not folding to a 318 chip raise.

Fold the flop and look for a better spot

Having looked at the spoiler -
Villain's not just calling with K high
His 2 overs and flush draw make him ~50/50 against a 3bet range of
TT+, AQ+

Maybe this is nitty but why not just flat pre?

Seems like the raise just removes all the weaker hands from his range and we can't call a 4-bet.

same thought. i wudnt 3B pre unless UTG is very active. The shove call OTF is just bad, put all ur chips in there with no hand.

If UTG is min raising often I like the bet, otherwise i think i would just call pre.

I like folding on the flop.
