What part of his range do I ever get value from when I make it 106?

Big draws, and raising is more for protection.

I mean, i feel like I have to 3bet, but it feels awkward.

3betting sucks cuz every worse hand just always folds and it prevents from him bluffing ever.

However, if we don't 3bet, we give him free outs at a drawy board and we are OOP so we'd have to c/c flop, lead turn.

Meh that's not a bad line either. I kind of like it actually. Are we b/f turn though if it's a spade? How good is villain? How accurately can he peg our range for calling/leading any turn?

If a spade drops on the turn, leading is probably suboptimal.

This is the problem with c/c flop. You need to pray for a brick to drop so you can lead turn.

The bad part!

Hopefully, he'll put you on a draw a call. However, it's hard to maximize value against worst part of his ranges because if you call his raise are you planning on checking the turn?

Being OOP, your choices are much more limited. I like to stay aggressive when being OOP.

call and stick it in on safe turn
