My betting range on this flop would be JJ+ AJ-AKs with back door FD's and A2s. Checking everything else.

Thinking he would call with alot worse, when he raised my flop c-bet so small i thought he had some air in his range and decided to call because i thought their was a decent chance he would barrel the turn with his air and possibly the river depending on what card it was judging by how he was playing.

I think this was a mistake though, when he flats pre we can pretty much eliminate AA-KK from his range so im betting for value on the flop for sure, then by calling his re raise am i sacrificing to much value from the times he has 77-JJ and can't lay it down on the flop? Because he was definitely capable of flatting my 3 bet with junk and i think in this spot he will have air some % of the time also the nuts 66 and 22.

Looking at the hand now i don't think he has air anywhere near enough here to justify calling though as QQ on 226r is pretty nutted vs his range which i think is a lot wider than (66,22) and i think i should be re raising again for value and trying to get it in.

I think a better approach would be to 3bet bluff with small sizing with my AK-AJs hands to fold out his air and have equity when called and fold to a 4bet, also to 3bet JJ+ and get it in vs a 4bet.

Thoughts?
