Hero?

Villain is quite loose but will tighten up when calling 3bets. Usually any PP, middling suited connectors and possible big aces. He will 4b QQ+ and AK in general.

Happy with bet sizing pre. Could bet more on the flop and/or turn for value ... should be looking to GII here?
As played, the raise on the turn sets the alarm bells ringing as this is rarely (if ever) a bluff imo. It looks more like a flopped set or possible KQ/AQ suited at worst. I discounted 53 and 85 as I've not seen villain call 3bets that light. He should know I'm also capable of double barrelling AK like hands here but in that case I think he flats and lets me possibly triple the river. My best assumption is villain has put me on KK/AA and expects me to stack off here.

Should I? Is my suggested range too narrow or does it fit his actions pretty well? I'm guessing there maybe some divided opinions here but welcome all reasoning

    I prob bet slightly more on flop and turn but w/e

    Not folding, you have only 9 combos of likely hands that beat you, maybe include 1 more for when he doesn't 4b QQ. You only need to be good 1 in 3 call imo

    Also surely he sometimes flats sets ip on this board

    "you have only 9 combos of likely hands that beat you"

    This maybe true, but what about the likely combo's that I beat? Do you think I have narrowed his likely hands range too narrow then? I can't seem his making this move ott with a single 8 or a pair between 99-jj. 76s maybe at a push but I would assume he raises the flop with this hand. Don't see other flush draws, namely ax spades doing this either.

    ty for the input btw:)
