Flop looks like a good spot to raise/fold. If he shoves over the flop he's either smart enough or he has a better hand (set/2p are the only realistic holdings to fear), either way I think you give him credit. Flat calling doesn't really provide a whole lot of information and leads to checking a poor turn card like you ended up doing. As played you could lead the turn, but I think that only gives him a better pot-size to shove into a lot.

But I'm still nubbish so take that for what it's worth.

Hmm, yeah, that does make it tough because any decent sized flop 3bet is basically going to commit you to call a shove. We don't really have any way to spot a set or 2p so we probably just have to stick it all in and hope he doesn't have it. I think you're up against 2p far more than a set because so many people have slowplay syndrome when they make sets and typically will not raise the flop. Not having a read makes this tough though because there is the odd thinking player out there.

Personally I think you played it fine. I certainly am not interested in getting all of my chips in the middle with just tptk.
Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.
