Decide to go for a 3bet bluff from SB with AQo. As played postflop, not sure what the best play was! I feel a jam can fold out his AK he may have in his 3b/call range.

I assume you mean a 4b bluff? What's the purpose of jamming flop? This should hit his range a bit harder than yours.

What are you expecting to fold out.

I don't think I would pull this move on a BTN with a 4% 3b stat. Small sample I know, but it is better than nothing and this move is very villain-dependent.

Well played until the flop.

People see solvers or AIs take certain aggro lines for additional EV, like this or check raising top pair, but its predicated on playing future streets optimally/well.

If you're going to panic jam this flop then fold pre is the highest EV line. I like check fold. Remember your bluff was supposed to work pre alot, no commitment to recklessly continue.

A solver is also working towards the most optimal non-exploitive line where as here we should be playing basically exploitive at lower stakes.

betting range otf is fine, 33% and go from there

FOLD PRE.

In low stakes you can exploit players by playing tight, that means fold to 3bet's often even big hands like JJ's.
Folding top pair post-flop when u get re-raise in any street.
Folding top pair to 3 barrel.

In low stakes population dont have in them to 3bet bluff much, re-raise post flop with less than set or 2 pair or 3 barrel bluff.
