Villain in the hand is a young spanish pro. From what Ive seen so far from here he seems solid. Overall he has played a TAG style, not doing anything crazy. We have been at the table for a couple of hours now and I think he sees me the same way. This is the first time I see him in this casino though and he is probbly just visiting. He had another friend at the table with the same profile and they came together.
The game is 6-handed with a straddle. Effective stacks are 1,700
Preflop (12)
Villain opens 35 UTG, I 3-bet 9

in MP. He calls
The last couple of orbits he has been opening up his opens. The two players behind me in the hand are fit or fold players and with position I think this is a good spot to 3bet. Generally in live poker I like to 3bet a linear range with hands that do well postflop as villains really dont like to fold once they opened. Any comments on the 3bet and hand choice is welcome though.

Villain checks, Hero bets 75, Villain calls.
On such a dry flop, I like to bet small as I will be betting the same with most of my value range.Once again, comments are welcome on this street, checkback flop?bet more?
Turn 412 8
Villain checks, Hero bets 275, Villain now raises 575.
At this point, we are getting direct odds to call and try to bink river. However, is there any merit to jamming over his raise?
