I got 82 hands on him with 27/22 he seems like a solid player but seems to be playing quite a few pots and has been folding to most 3 bets.

Anyways the flop is pretty much the best I can hope for and i'm happy to gii. however i decide to go with a flop bet and shove turn no matter the card but he gets lucky and hits his straight. Is my line optimal here or should I have played it diffrent?

Very weird hand to 3! From the BB. I don't know how your construct your 3b range, but this is an easy flat for me. As played I'd start the flop with a check. If villain bets I'd jam.

Call pre.

I normally would flat here but it feel like he has a opening range that is too wide and this seems like a good spot to abuse that fact. Also the fact that he has folded 80% to 3bets means their is very good chance of this getting through? Also my image should be quite tight as i have shown very good hands when I 3 bet and haven't been playing many hands.

I think sometimes 3betting is fine, though I would make it bigger, about 20k. 16k is giving him too good of a price to call.

How many hands have you played with this V?

80% over 82 means what, villain folded to 3-bet 4/5 times? Not nearly enough of a sample to adjust to. And K7s is a really bad hand to 3-bet OOP.

Check/jam flop as played.

I like the 3B. But would make it bigger, maybe close to 30k. because if you know he is weak, you dont want to give him any "correct" odds to make the call. Another reason is if he calls, you are out of position.

Another option is the preflop action as you played. I think it would work if you had pushed all in on the flop. Because there are chances that he would have some hands to flat the 3B preflop, such as A10, J10, 99 (straight draw), maybe even JJ. I think the board would help you to buy the pot. Like you said that you had the tight image (if he paid enough attention to know that), he could put you on a big pair.

+1 yea, blinds are 3k, and a normal 3bet would be about 25-27k, so I would make it at least 20k.. for the reasons mentioned above. And a c/r all in is better to. Gets value from bluffs on flop, and you rep strong. But betting is fine too.
