Villain is 43/22/2.3, %50 fold to 3bet, %63 fold to flop bet over a measly 90 hands.

Just shove flop? Check-fold? Check-call?

Pretty much pot committed on the preflop action imo. As a result, I'd probably just prefer to 3bet AI PF OOP. Unless the UTG player has a history of limping big hands.

More likely than not, no ace. It looks enough like the way someone would play JJ or QQ to consider driving him out, but he's probably not betting on the flop if you check in the case that he does have one of those hands, so no need for impatience. I'd check-fold the flop and push the turn if he checks behind on the flop.

I would make a larger 3-bet preflop, against this villain because of his stack size. I think it will make your hand much easier to play in this situation. For instance if you 3bet to 33 here, the pot on the flop will be ~70, and villain will have 37 left, so your decision will become automatic.
As played I would get the rest of the money in on this flop, he will almost certainly call with 44-99, and any flush draw. It's not the greatest situation since theres probably a lot of aces in his range, but I wouldn't want to give a free card and have a J,Q, or King spike on the turn and make me second guess myself.

I think due to the stack sizes I think you just have to put out the bet for the rest of his stack and hope he will call you with his 88 or 99 imo...

Good grief this guy's range is wide, I am really having a hard time putting him on a hand.

The internet guy in me says that the right move is the shove at the flop.

The live room guy in me says you got screwed and his A6s hit the flop.

Betting is terrible. It may fold out QQ or something, but I highly doubt it. The only real argument for betting is that he can call with like 99 or less, but that leads to my next point.

If we check to him, he'll probably bet his full range of hands. So this way, we get $ in with the most equity, so we still stack off with 99. I think its a pretty close decision between check/calling & check/folding, but I'm leaning towards check/call.

vs a guy this wide i'd probably just c/c. Shoving flop makes 0 sense since you get it in vs the top of villain's range. vs a tighter villain i see nothing wrong with c/f here since this board is terrible vs a tight 3B flatting range but a loose guy like this will show up with alot so i dont' think it is ever right to fold unless he never ever bluffs.

i think i just bet it here to put him all in but he shows up with Ax alot. You can also make an argument vs shoving preflop if UTG is a donk that is limping
