Villain looks strong, but I am getting 2:1 here. I definitely should have 3bet larger to isolate short stack, but I did not notice stack size during pre flop action.

You should never fold KK/AA/QQ as an overpair in a 3-bet pot against someone with 60 big blinds. Sometimes they make a better hand, but the times they're getting it in with worse hands makes it a profitable call.

Also 3-bet bigger, usually when you squeeze pre-flop you want to make it 3.5x+1x per caller.

I think 3b size is ok but could go towards 60. Cbet could be a bit smaller to have him spazz more. But this is a clear call, can have TT, JJ, QQ, some heart draw, maybe JT even. Sometimes he will have the set but nothing you can do.

Pot: 5.12
To call: 1.94

Better than 2.5:1. Perfect semi bluff board. No additional stats to narrow his range.

Even with a nutty range like QQ, AA, AKhh, AQhh, 88, 99, TT, JJ, you'd be solid here. Most villains at 5nl will likely be much wider.

Agree that pre flop sizing in small vs. two people. Assuming you are hopefully being consistant with your pf sizing and not adjusting to bait calls.
