Thoughts? Does it make any sense to check flop following my 3bet preflop? Thought I might let him catch up a bit...

checking flop is ok, cause you're likeley to stack Ax anyway and you don't mind giving freecards to Kx.

Rest is boring standard

Reads on villain? If his preflop 3bet calling range is very constricted you are probably way ahead on this flop so a check is decent because you can probably get value easier on the turn.

I actually think that line is pretty good with the stack sizes, but I would make the bet bigger on the turn to easily get the rest of your stack in on the river. It sucks that you probably got coolered by JJ but without any information about his tendencies he can easily have AJ as well.

Hmmm... I want his stack once I flop this. It seems to me 3 small bets of 1/2 pot each would be the best way to do it. By checking the flop, you would need to almost pot the turn and the river to get his stack, or hope he was aggro enough to bet or raise with a worse hand at some point.
