I play AA, KK and QQ the same way. Against any pair, I have 27%, and I block AA/KK and due to preflop action, can almost entirely remove those holdings from their range.
There is 1 combo of A7s.
Is this standard play?
Thanks.

AP, when V raises you here we can almost guarantee he has a PP. So, why call here when we only have 6 outs? Probably discount 1-2 of these as well since BTN called PF 3-bet. So, you're a huge under dog. Easy fold.
If we're betting flop it should be smaller, why would we go bigger? We want CO to either call with worse or spaz out & jam vs a small sizing. The bigger we go the stronger his continuing range. I would never bet here but if I did it would be max $1.50-$2.
I agree check is the best play though, keeps villains range at it's widest & like it's been said we can pretty much check our whole range here to balance.
EDIT: LMAO did BTN fold w/ $0.02 left for a pot of $7.54[eff]? Surely that's some sort of HH error. He obviously folded tens!
