What you do as villain with A 10-A K without history? Is it enough to bluffcatch vs some missed flushdraws like Q 10s, Q Js, J 10s, K 10s, K Qs, K Js? Adding a few more combos of pairs possibly turned into bluffs and its easy call?

Well pretty easy call if you bluff the hands you listed. If they are only clubs I think it is still good call
Whats your value range here? I dont see any 8, only 2pair are some A7s,A6s ; AK,AQ would be shoved preflop and I guess it is better to just check AT,AJ, so you dont represent much here imo.

9 8s. 7 8s. 6 8s. 10 8c. J 8c. Q 8c. K 8c. A 8. All standard hands to call a 3b with. You dont see any 8x? Plus obv more 2 pair hands than just the Ax ones.

Yet again I rarely call a hand just because I hope of hitiing the flop! Postflop tendencies matter. Yours and villain too.
Lets take Qc8c? Why would you decide to call two streets rather than semi-bluff the flop with this hand. Even against an ace you still have around 33% and with fold equity good sgove.Or you gonna call two streets with a naked gutshot just because you hope of binking that 8 and potentially stack off. What makes you call two streets and than shove river?

I said Qc8c so a flushdraw(im not chasing any naked gutshots) and no, calling the flop is just fine this deep vs such a small bet with a flushdraw.

"calling a hand just because i hope of hiting a flop" Im not suppose to be the one teaching you
Calling 3b-s with hands i listed vs non-nit players is standard. You have position, you can float some flops and bluffraise some when you dont hit. We are not playing just to hit a flop.
