35/15, I saw him raise with K9s in a similar position. Any info on a good play here would be very helpful.

I think I would've called PF and raised the Flop for a free card. I would then fold to a reraise on the flop or to agression on the turn. What do you guys think?

Why do you want a free card?

I would raise the flop, bet the turn, check or bet the river. If I am played back at or led into on the turn, I strongly consider folding.

I would raise the flop. He only called your 3-bet so I think AA-QQ are out. I think A/J and any set check raise here or most likely on the turn(the set). I think you can fold to a reraise.

I think I raise the flop, bet the turn, and probably check behind on that particular river, which is not great. I'm not too upset about folding to further aggression.

I think the flop needs to be raised. He very well could be betting into you with just high cards or a draw, either way you need to retake control of the pot since I feel that you probably have the best hand here often enough to making raising the flop smart. I'd bet the turn if checked to, and check behind on that crappy river
