You’re on the button with K♥K♦ and a stack of 130,500.

You decide to 3-bet 12,000 chips.

The small blind and the big blind both fold.
Villain calls.

The pot is now 28,800 chips.

Flop

The dealer reveals Q♠K♠7♠.

Villain bets 12,000.

The action is back on you. You now have a 118,500 stack.

What do you do?

A. In every pot that you 3-bet you should be c-betting the majority of the time. We see that although we have flopped top set the board is still very draw heavy. Therefore with the call from the villain pre flop we should be c-betting higher than usual. When the villian decides to lead for 12,000. It signals to me that he is on some sort of draw therefore  I think it is the perfect opportunity to raise. With the pot being 28,800 I would lean towards a bigger raise than usual and raising to 32,000. Leaves us with 86,500. If the villian calls then it is setting us up for getting a full double up on later streets.
