Villain has reggy stats 21/16/8 3b. 160 hand sample. Locked stats. Prob a small stakes reg.

Pre. I think flatting the 3bet this deep is the best option with these positions. Protect our calling range and not overplay the hand.

Turn. I lead a bit less than 50%. I don't think he will fold any pair he is checking flop with. I give myself a good price to hit my hand which should presumably be any A, K, Club, though he could have a Ac combo. Prob not that many as I block AK, and he would prob bet AQ which is also heavily blocked. Most other Ac combos should be suited with a flop FD which he'd also prob bet. Not sure if it's better to c/c or c/r turn?

River. I bet a bit less then 50% again To get value from any Jc combo he could have. JJ or AJc being the most likely ones. There is not a lot to get value from OTR so maybe I should check and let him turn his hand into a bluff. He has a lot of SDV hands on the river which he will likely check back though. Like AA no c, KK no c. He has fairly low af, and he doesn't seem like the type to try to make me fold a Q or low flush. Maybe choosing a more blocker like sizing is better? 30-35% to ensure a call from a smaller flush and save money when he has Ac, QQ, TT.

Really not sure if this is an optimal line to take here.
