Default 50NL Semi Bluff on 2Tone board 3 bet pot

Villain is 24/21 with AF 7. 3bet % of 12%.
I think call preflop is fine since hes raising my CO open pretty light. I think his range contains mainly suited broadways, pairs, and some random suited connectors. I don't think he is 3betting marginal aces, so if he had an ace it would be ATs-AK.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP ($100)
Hero (CO) ($51.10)
Button ($110.25)
SB ($50)
BB ($189.70)
UTG ($52.75)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 9, 10
2 folds, Hero bets $1.75, 1 fold, SB raises to $5.75, 1 fold, Hero calls $4

Flop: ($12) 8, A, A (2 players)
SB bets $7.50, Hero raises to $45.35 (All-In), 1 fold

Total pot: $27 | Rake: $1.35

Do you think he's going to barrel the turn without an A? With just those stats and no reads at this level, I would think that he is going to give up on the turn without an A. Also, I would think that he would expect you to flat an A rather than shoving. For those reasons, I like floating better.

Oh i forgot to put his turn stats. He was a very aggresive opponent and had a high 2barrel %. I even saw him 3 barrel a hand in a previuos session.

Don't yuo think calling here would bloat the pot too much? If i call pot becomes 27. I feel like if i try to float and a non diamond comes on the turn, wouldn't he be bet/folding 99-KK or if he picked up an OESD or something.

I kinda like it I guess. Not a line I'd probably take, but it should work a lot in this situation.

I kinda like it.

He can't really call without an ace and you have both fold equity and pot equity if called.

Having said that, I've been experimenting w/ floating the flop then jamming over his turn bet against agressive opponents to a lot of success.

It definitely bloats the pot, but you're bloating the pot that you're going to steal. Also, the bloating works against what you're saying about him bet/folding the turn. Stacks make that near impossible. What amount can you bet into a 27 pot with a 37 stack that you can fold to a raise?

But given the new read about villain barrelling a lot, I like your line better than floating anyways.

I personally prefer not calling 3-bets with hands that can make only draws, like suited connectors and suited aces. But when you get your draw, being in a 3-bet pot should probably mean getting the money in on the flop.

What's generaly though about calling 3bets with drawing type hands? Good or bad? I see you have a read on the villian, but what if not?

Against an unknown in this spot, I just fold this hand.

I'd rather 4bet bluff than flat here.
