$100 NL HE 6-max: KJ top pair in 3bet pot

Villain is normally 23/18, 3bets %7 v steal but is up to like %9 or 10 today (on several tables, mostly against me). Not sure that's worth defending with KJ over.

He cbets flops 3/4 the time in 3bet pots. In normal pots, he cbets %80 but only barrels turn %32. No reads on bet sizing.

Think there are enough bluffs/semibluffs with 89/67/hh/air on the turn that I can get it in or am I just paranoid and spewy?

I'm not sure what getting it in accomplishes. I mean, you'll get some value out of AhQh that way assuming he won't bluff the river, but I don't think his draws outnumber the rest of his range enough to make raising the turn better than just calling (with the intention of calling any river) since he's never folding a hand you beat. By raising, you're forcing him to get his stack in with the strongest part of his range, but calling will keep the weaker stuff (we're targetting air, here) in.

If the board wasn't twotone and without real history, I sometimes call the turn with the intention of folding to a river shove. Be wary of overdoing that though.

I probably just fold this unless he has a high DB in 3bet pots or if he doesnt triple very often at all. I know you mention that he is 3betting you a lot particularly today but unless he is doubling a lot I just give him credit. A lot of better K's as well as 78 got there(albeit a small part of his range but a logical hand if he doesnt double much.

I fold to the 3bet preflop. KJo is just gonna cost us too much when we hit marginally like here.

I'd fold preflop, KJ is a nightmare hand to have in a 3bet pot.

On the turn I would also fold.
TT+ aint gunna turn their hands into bluffs like this.
AK, KQ, AA, KK have us beat.

Were basicly hoping that he's double barreling his air, which I just don't see happening often enough in 3bet pots.
