Hey all,
First time posting hands
Hope this works out!!
Not too many hands with villain, but from what i can tell, he is fairly on the aggressive side, and i wouldn't be surprised it seems like there is always action at some point in the hand.

I often get myself into these sorts of spots. 74ss i know isn't a great hand, but i tell myself that its part of a standard 3 betting strat, so long as they aren't default calling too much IP preflop, but i get into these situations where i want to bet and barrel for any reason, like over here, maybe a spade, or a 3 might roll off. Realistically, i don't hit this board too often, not many 2's, maybe AJ but that's about it. He will have more J's in his range than me, so maybe a c/f might be better since i don't play well on this flop. But if i c/f, i will get no reads, and how else will i get them unless i bet here.

Is there any way you're making this call?
If he flats 30% IP, then i estimated about a third of those hands, or 10%, will be a hand worth getting value from on the river AQ+. And that's thin, but if he thinks that that's what i think, then it seems fine. This is assuming he's barreling AJ and KJ, stuff like that.
So if he took ALL of his hands that he called the 3 bet with, and 3 barrel'd them, then i'd be good a whopping 2/3rd's of the time here.
9Tss IS at the bottom of my range. I probably should have c/c'd on the flop, anyway. As far as blockers go, the 9 isn't too relevant actually, i'd end up blocking A9 which i don't want.
I'm trying to learn to stick with it, and go all the way. I feel like me c/c, c/c, c/f is a serious leak in my game, and this might be one of those spots. Especially since it's one of those, "i'm going to 3 barrel since you check'd" moments, that seems like it happens waaay too often. I don't like these 3 barrels, but i think villain is probably aggressive enough to do this, at least more than he should.
If i'm just always waiting for a better hand, then i will never get there.
