NL50 AK 3-bet Line check

[bluffbetter]

I think the majority of the time I'm behind on this flop to QQ+, so should I just check-fold, or is the bet worth it. Or what about a smaller bet, especially as this is a tight/passive player.

And how's my 3-bet size?

Villain is 17.3/5.8/0.4 over 52 hands

raise to 9.5-10 PF, you are OOP. keep flop lead the same size. this villain has a pretty tight PF raise %. not totally sure how that affects things as im still 3 betting this PF. i think b/c his range is so tight and you've picked up the gutshot with two overs i might bemore inclined to check this flop than lead.

Anyone else?

villain's PFR is very low, and he's raising into two limpers. I say he's very strong in this spot.

I think you can just call and dump ak ui here on the flop. A 3bet is okay against most villains, but I don't like it against this villain in this situation.

Your 3bet size is a little weak. If I were to 3bet, I'd make it 11/12.
