I feel like although I stacked my opponent, I didn't play the hand optimally. I wouldn't say I'm bad deep-stacked, but it's definitely not my expertise.

I think when I squeeze this large, UTG is going to have a somewhat narrow continuing range despite how deep we are. I think he should realize I'm not squeezing super light here from the BB when everyone in the hand has position on me postflop & are fairly deep. I can just call with my speculative hands getting a great price, and not have to blow up a pot where I'm most likely getting 1-2 calls given how deep we all are. So he's probably just mucking AJo/KQo/22-44, etc that would otherwise call vs just a 3-bet.

OTF, I usually 37-40% pot this flop with most of my range, but I just flopped the nuts on a super dry board & got a little excited, checked pretty fast without too much thinking.

OTT, my range looks like 1010-QQ/weak Kx, so I bet small to possibly induce him to make a move. I think this probably was the best play given flop check because my range here looks so weak, but I think the main mistake was not betting flop as I should with my entire range.

OTR I think after the way I play the hand is standard, and he rips in 77, which I think is a little questionable. Not complaining though.

If we bet 1/3 pot OTF, how do we get stacks in? Or do we just b/b/b (35%, 65%, 60-70%) and hope he raises somewhere???

Your hand looks a lot like ak or AA to me, I think you played it well and you got him to go for value because of it, if you bet bet bet, this deep he may not reraise, as he knows that kk is going to be part of that range, but how you played it you underrepped your hand and he took the bait (I'm not saying it's bad it's obviously hard to find what the hell are you getting value on a board so damn dry and flopping top set.)
