The opponent was an extreme loose-passive (59/8):

Winamax, $0.15/$0.30 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 3 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $36.19 (120.6 bb)
Hero (BB): $24.23 (80.8 bb)
BTN: $31.83 (106.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A 8
BTN folds, SB raises to $0.90, Hero calls $0.60

Flop: ($1.80) 7 8 5 (2 players)
SB bets $0.90, Hero calls $0.90

Turn: ($3.60) 8 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2.70, SB raises to $5.40, Hero raises to $22.43 and is all-in, SB calls $17.03

River: ($48.46) K (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results:

Spoiler

$48.46 pot ($2 rake)
Final Board: 7 8 5 8 K
SB showed 7 7 and won $46.46 ($22.23 net)
Hero showed A 8 and lost (-$24.23 net)

against 59/8 3x open i'm actually somewhat inclined to just fold pre, depending on what i know about his postflop... though his stats might not be accurate as you are 3-handed, perhaps...

turn is pretty sick. my instinct is to just ship it as you did, though when i think about it i'm not so sure.
you only want to see worse eights/something like AA sometimes, but does he even openraise enough worse eights being 59/8? i just feel like shipping is right, it just can't be a super huge mistake i guess.

Really looking for an advice about playing against such players - he can have ANYTHING with that range, it's so hard to put him on something.

when he raises you're dealing with his pfr, not with vpip.

Hi Erniastukas

What sample are those hands on? His PFR is 8% but if it's just a few hands that number is useless especially BvB.

If that's over a huge sample and his steal in SB is small just fold pre

As played We can just ship the turn. Since he is the PFR he can have at least some overpairs there that would take these fishy lines.

That's OBVIOUS and AWESOME insight, never thought about it : "when he raises you're dealing with his pfr, not with vpip" !

As for the sample, it was 127 hands - quite small, but I think enough to make VPIP and PFR quite realistic.
