Probably bet flop slightly bigger, I'd go for 130-140.

As played I probably call turn and check river to see what he does. 1010 QQ and AA if slowplayed raise us on that board. 55 folds a folp that hits us so hard. Hate this line though as we're so often behind but we're only really in trouble against KJ

Why min 3bet? not regular sized 3bet?

I dont get it? arent we in more trouble against AA and QQ than KJ or 1010 as we have less outs? 0 against AA 2 against QQ and 6 against KJ and 1010?

Because there's no reason to raise bigger, we can easily shove the river anyway and we want him to call with the parts of his range that we're ahead of instead of just the parts of it that have us crushed.

Yes we're in big trouble against those hands but the way he played it I'm discounting him having AA and QQ. I don't think villian ever flats with one still to act behind on such a draw heavy board. Plus we have a blocker to AA and QQ so he almost never turns up with those two hands. Only hand I'd be concerned about is KJ.
