Hi,
im not sure if played this hand correctly.
I guess being this deep my 3bet is too loose against UTG. And im not sure if i really should try to get 3 streets of value here postflop.

call preflop vs UTG , only because we have suited ace we still don't love how we are dominated in kickers + rundowns but suck the BB into calling since we are OOP and he is likely never folding

As played with a 3b I don't like the sizings, they seem very weak so allows villain to bluff that kind of run out a ton triple barreling for 57%, 67% , then 40%? river
IMO in 3barrel spots in general like this for example you want to size it up to triple barrel shove to realize fold equity instead of just betting random amounts and having an awkward river. Would actually look like a thin top set shove instead of maybe a weak 2p

I think the whole hand is played fine. I expect to get raised on the turn by sets so in betting river again and I think your sizing is also fine. It's definitely not bluff inducing imo

Don't worry about having exploitable bet sizings too much just make sure you get 2/5 in other spots

Personally, I wouldn't 3bet this hand oop as you will hit a small piece of a lot of flops and then be in a difficult spot to realise your equity. And you are deep stacked so you don't want to be building a 3bet pot with so much behind when you have a medium strength drawing hand. With position I think it is fine, as you have pot control.

Also with the suited Ace and weak kickers, this is what is called a pulling hand - you want to pull in multiple callers so that you can get good pot odds to draw to the flush and have better odds that someone else makes a baby flush you can stack. So I think calling and allowing the BB to come along is my preferred option.

As played, you have hit this flop pretty hard but are still vulnerable to wraps and Aces with better kickers. So I think your bet sizing on the flop is too small, he is folding all of his trash to any bet you make, so I would be looking to charge top pairs or wrap draws the maximum.

The turn is about the safest card you could hope to see and now that villain has shown you he is drawing, again I would be betting bigger here.

When we get to the river, I would get that sick feeling in my stomach and I think bet fold is ok here. He calls with worse Aces or two pair and raises his straight. If we check/call then we turn our hand into a bluff catcher and that would be horrible, as what bluffs does he end up with by the river?

The problem is that having said all that about larger sizing, you are too deep stacked to ever get it all in by the river, so you are offering him implied odds on every street regardless of your bet sizing. This shows up the 3betting mistake pre-flop and how difficult it is to play deep stacked poker oop. If there was a take away from this hand, it would be to play much more conservatively when you are risking 300bb rather than 100.

Here is my opinion

Preflop i dont like your 3 bet , i prefer to call here so deep.

on the flop you have a very high SPR, i think i took the same sizing like you on the flop, on the turn i prefer to bet close to pot, and the river is little bet, and then fold card.

Call pre
Check back river in 3bet pot vs utg

not a bad line if you call river some times.
