Villain is 26/9 over a measly 34 hands. Should I 3bet preflop and c-bet this flop?

Everest No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed) - Everest Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP2 ($4.08)
CO ($1.70)
(Hero) Button ($15.44)
SB ($5.34)
BB ($17.74)
UTG ($0.50)
UTG+1 ($5.83)
MP1 ($9.73)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7

, 7

1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.10, MP1 raises to $0.20, 2 folds, Button raises to $0.85, 3 folds, MP1 calls $0.65

Flop: ($1.95) 3

, 9

, 3

(2 players)
MP1 checks, Button ??

Ugh.

3betting when you are an underdog against a villain's range, have a hand that could hit big and position isn't great play. You want to see a cheap flop.

As played, you need to make a good sized bet of at least $1.20. If he fights back, you're done with the hand.

Bit of FPS there with that PF 3bet...

Why are you 3-betting with a mid-PP?

As played, I guess you'd have to c-bet that fairly hard to sell a good overpair. He's probably setmining himself, so you'll likely get him out if he didn't hit a set.

After the flop, if he calls, it's over of course. I'd make it $1.50 on the flop probably.

YOu have position and are not much of a underdog to villian range. I like the 3bet if the villian has a high fold to c-bet% if not i flat. I bet around 1.20.
