[25NL-Z] Top two in 3bet pot facing turn c/r

Villain is a unknown after 6 hands. Snap call, cry call or fold? Also, does anyone check back the turn?

It feels like a snap call with 50% equity vs {nuts+AJ}

I'd need a read to conclude this is only nut hands, esp since he took a weird lead and c/r line that looks bluffy.

I'm never checking back the turn, and I'd bet bigger otf and ott to get value from draws.

I don't think you can check back the turn. I probably station it off, but with 40% it's pretty marginal.

I'd bet bigger on the turn for sure. As played, easy call, at the top of our range.
