Villian was very veak, playing lots of hands just limping or calling. A complete donkey.

With his call on flop and checking the turn, I think his range was flush draw or 33 or - less probable - straight draw or 44/55.I decided to fire the second barrel and for my surprise he calls. On the river, believing in the range I gave him and trusting that another 4 won't help him there, I made the third barrel all in and he folded.

How about my thinking line? Too risky?

I believe there is a few mistakes here.

Preflop, I would go ahead and raise probably ATC. Vilain is weak, his limping range is wiiide so you have probably enough Fold Equity. A raise should be +EV.

Flop, Vilain check, it's an easy snap bet ATC any board. The sizing is good.

Vilain's range is most likely 55-66, 33, some flush/straight draw and some OC. Maybe 4x/2x. He would probably bet a good 7x or a set.

Turn I dont like the bet. This card doesn't change anything. If in Vilain's mind 4x is good enought to call flop, he will call turn too. You don't have much FE here.

However river, Vilain's range is probably the same (55-66, 7x, 4x, draw). Vilain will fold a straight/flush draw, 33 too. Definitely not 7x, 4x. And he could call Ax since your range is more likely random 2 cards.

I like the bet Flop, but not the 2nd barrel. The 3rd might be good and I think if you 2-barrel, you have to barrel river (because you don't make him fold anything Turn), but maybe just not this river, nor a spade/7x).

Finally, your biggest mistake, "Emerson.Aces shows". Don't do that, there is absolutely no reason to show a bluff when someone is weak. You want him to stay weak, you don't want him to start bluff catching you.

Preflop:
nh imo!
You can obviously raise here - but since he is very loose he will most likely not fold to a raise.

Flop:
I like the bet!

Turn:
After he called the flop I would c/f Turn and River. A weak player won't fold on that turn after he called the flop. Furthermore he will have more value hands then draws most of the times.

River:
As played the push is well played. At least if your reads are valid.

Asaban
