Tough Spot against a Lag (NL$100)

Alright so most people are advocating 3-bet shoving, but I remember reading on 2+2 somewhere that 4-betting to $42 here is better and the post seemed pretty solid and it allows me to bluff with total air a lot cheaper.

But on Q62r boards, are you guys ever 3-bettting your TPTK+ there? Like if you have AA and get cred on a Q62r, are we 3-betting there usually, or are we just find with having a completely unbalanced range where are 3-bets are almost always bluffs?

And I'm aware balancing is "overrated" for the most part, and I would 3-bet my monsters on this board anyways so it was a bad spot to flat call as I'm not flat calling many hands other than 77-JJ anyways so it's not really relevant on suited board anyways.

And one last check up, if we do 3-bet AK to like $42 on a Q62r board, are we calling a shove? I believe we are (please correct me if we should not be) on a Q62ss board I assume because there's a lot of draws, but I'm just checking for a rainbow board. I don't feel we have the 25% equity we need to make the call profitable if there's no flush draw (that said should we always just be shoving?)

I don't tend to 3b with AA if I get CR'd there unless it's two tone...I'd likely call and shove the turn.

Yeah, that's my whole point BK, either do I. The board is so dry and it hits so few hands in his range I figure "Lets give him another chance to bluff." So if I am raising AK on a rainblow flop, I'm not raising almost any legit hands there, as I would be smooth calling the flop with middle pair and better.

That's my problem with 3-betting the board on a rainbow flop. I agree it's a 3-bet shove on a two tone flop but I think on a rainbow I should be calling with AK in position (any maybe oop, not sure about this one yet) as that's what I'd do with all my real hands.
