- My line was targeting this villain's wide calling range and general passive play
- I'm targeting all the SD and worse pairs than mine
- Note title says BvB but this is an issue with my HUD hand replayer confusing me. I was in fact BB vs villain in CO

Don't pot the flop. If we look at what strategies on monotone (3flush) boards look like you actually want to size down not size up, it's because loads of hands have equity against you and your hands even overpairs are vulnerable, also because you want the hands that do have a single club that is worse to keep calling while drawing dead or semi-dead. On boards that significantly change the nuts we don't want to make our opponents call range just the hands that beat us as well. So betting smaller accomplishes everything we want with this hand.
Your reasoning for "targetting a wide calling range" is not correct. Even if we want to target this said weak range, we should again be betting smaller. We deny equity, make some air hands fold that might have marginal outs and let a fish hang itself on future streets. Playing like this just makes the hand easy to play for the fish (I have set, flush, Q I call)
Turn is not a good play. Not sure what we are getting out off jamming TT's at this point its almost like we are merging our good/decent hands with our monsters for some reason.
One more thing:
Since you pot the turn you filter your opponents range meaning he will have WAY less low equity hands against you after calling your flop POT bet. Even if it's a fish he's gonna filter his range to an extent. Hope this helps
Same as above regarding flop play in these spots.
Turn though he is a short stack fish with less than a PSB left, its fine to merge here as he will call so much wider, plenty of worse hands and a bunch of high equity draw/pair+draw hands that you are ahead of (he will have more Qx than say a 42pip/15pfr player would though - seen as he limps AQ/KQ and will call flop with a club).
