Hi,
i had no clue what to do here, i didnt want to give up after that flop, but i dont think just calling down is a profitable line..
Villain is fish as far as i remember. He reraised 2/6 cbets and raised 1/1 cbets in 3bet pot .

I think you should make the river decision on the turn. Either c/c with the plan to bluffcatch or b/f or c/f the turn.

He's either capable of floating and bluffing here or he isn't. And if he is, I doubt he would not fire the second barrel once you give up the betting initative. The expectation of b/f will increase as villain's propensity to float then give up to further aggression increases. The more straightforwardly he plays postflop, the worse firing the turn will be as the chance you're behind increases.

The board run out smashes a NAI 3b defending range quite hard. And villain's line looks super strong. As played can't see what you're ahead of on the river?

In villain's position I would float sometimes so I would err on the side of b/f turn and give up if villain continues. Especially if villain plays his draws passively and the FD binks on the river.

I would make the 3bet bet much bigger with KQs minimum 100 better 120
he can call here with any 2 cards and dont make a misstake.
cdon already said it, this board hits his calling size really hard

fold
