I see so many flop check raises from opponents looking to pick off cbets, plus this could easily be AJ or Axc as well. So I decided to put in the 3bet.
Given my stack size, any 3bet is basically commiting myself to the pot. Any thoughts?

If you see flop check raises from THIS opponent then I think it's fine but he looks pretty passive to me. Would he play a FD this way? I'm not sure. AJ sounds likely and a deuce holding does not seem likely that often.

I think I'd do the same on this board and call a shove since half my stack is in.

I´m stackign off here every time. no matter if villain is passive or not he often overvalues TP here or may play a fd like that.

Yep I'm stacking off here, what deuce is he going to call a raise with out of the sb? That's the only thing you should be behind here, way ahead with an overpair, and slightly ahead of a flush draw

I think the real question is how do we get the most value here, since there isn't a single sensible holding with more than 50% equity against you.

I like calling and c/r the turn. People can't stop bluffing on paired boards.
