Phil is busy i guess, so here are some of my thoughts

You are thinking about balancing and hand combinations, thats cool, but you should also think about your opponent tendencies, his range and our percieved range.

Some opponents will not 2 or 3 barrel here, because when you call from BB vs UTG, you have Ax, good broadway or pocket pairs, pocket pairs you will fold to flop bet, no reason to float there, broadway stuff like KJ QJ JT you will fold to 2d or 3d barrel, but you will fold some percentage of time Ax only to 3d barrel  (on bad boards)

But also it depends on your opponent, i know that my opponent in this hand likes to barrel a lot, and he will probably barrel river if he missed some draws, because he can represent a lot of value hands on this board, so i decided to c/call 3st.

And actually if you c/raise here, you are representing very strong hands, so i would almost never c/raise here for value against regular, unless i did this in a similar spot and was caught bluffing, or my opp folded and does not know my hand.
