    I'd probz bet smaller
    obv in this spot you're always shoving

    on more wet boards, vs specific opponents, there's definitely a time to fold overpairs but you shouldn't worry about it too much - it isn't going to be a deciding factor in how successful you are at cash. most of the time you'll be good just be wary and reads are v.important when facing a raise

    These spots can be difficult when we are deep and looking at very wet boards.

     In this instance its a pretty easy call for me as only hands beating us are those holding a 9 or a pair of Queens. Opponent could well have J10 or any combo of A/K/Q/Jh, if loose he could have u/s broadway cards and still be happy to get the money in on the flop. Call and hope he misses.

    Can't be folding on this board in 3bet pot 100bb deep IMO, if he's a decent REG he shouldn't have any 9x's here and if he has QQ surely it goes in pre. 

    For me most likely AQ/KQ or a strong draw but either way it's a simple shove.

    Call? really? Thats just blah really. Guys only got £7 behind in a big pot, and is never folding now. So call is pointless. Ship it in or fold is really your only choices here.

    As for the hand. Ship it in all day. Yes you may find him flipping over QQ, but to not ship would suck, as only hands you are beaten by right now are trips which are fairly unlikely given preflop action and fact you say he is a solid reg, and so only really then by QQ or 99. He could easy do this with KK, AQ (maybe) and draws etc,

    I get the issue with OP, but if we start foding to flop 3bets seeing sets every time it will get just as costly playing them in the long run as losing a buyin when when they do have a set to the other times when they don't. Anyway thats my opinion on it, and its just an opinion, and we all know that everyones got one. Take what you want from it or ignore it. hehe

    in a 3b pot its usually standard to bet half of pot ish which gives villain room to make a move + the pot is already pretty big so you don't have to bet this much, esp with stacks as they are here
    also it's probz less likely you're bluffing with such a big bet like this
    I'd probz bet £3 in op
