I dont play a lot of bomb pots but I'm very interested in the format because of how awful people seem to play. Bart Hanson has a series on it I'd like to look into more. OTTH.

I understand bomb pots to be a game of nutted hands, and I'd say your hand is nutted enough to go for 3 streets across boards where the flush doesn't come in. The gutter straight is not so much to worry about IMO, he has one reasonable combo and if he's calling QJ with no spades here for a greater than pot sized bet then we can just be happy he's in our game. other than one combo of QJ, the K only improves AK. We still crush A8, T8, all of his other aces (if he's calling that loose), and now his Kx flush draws picked up enough equity for him to think he has to stick around when we barrel for pot or greater here. I doubt he has a set given how wet the flop is, he'd prob check raise, but if he has it oh well. I think we can keep betting turn and clean rivers.

In game we betted 200bb
V jammed we snapped
V shows JQo for double gutter
I was wondering, perhaps we could've betted a smaller amount so we can fold to raise while maximizing value? Maybe 1/2 ~3/4 pot?

I don't understand why you wanna create spots to fold to a raise here. V is exactly the sort of donk I outlined in my analysis. You're printing money off this guy with megastacks in play
