TPGK in monotone flop

Agreed. A 3bet will also tell you whether an A on the flop is any good for you. As played the river is just check behind. You're not getting better A hands to fold. The ony thng you beat is a busted draw, which is unlikley given the utg raise. Also I don't like the turn bet. Either check behind theturn or make
it something respectable.

3-betting this pre-flop vs this guy is terrible. He wont be folding any better hands to a 3-bet and will likely have too strong a range for a 3-bet for value to be profitable given we wont have enough dominated broadways that he'll continue with. Also, a 3-bet wont tell us whether or not we want to see an ace at all given his continuing range will contain stuff like 99+ AQ+; nor would this be a decent reason to 3-bet in a terrible spot even if it did.

You also seem to be implying that we're bluffing this turn, we're clearly betting for value vs a few worse aces and some flush draws or pair + fds that we're ahead of and should never expect any better hand to fold. $8 is a perfectly "repsectable" bet size given it serves our purpose of trying to manipulate his range so that he calls with worse hands on this somewhat scary board.

After he c/cs flop and turn, given your read, I'd check back the river here. He just has too many better made hands now when he calls a river bet since your line looks so strong imo.
