Villain is a winning regular.
9k hands,
25/22/10, ag 3.7
winrate of 14bb/100.

I have some notes on this player, but this is the first time I see him raising flop and betting like that. It is NL2, but this player has some skill.

I interpret the flop raise with respect. I've seen him doing it with some flushdraws, but also absolute air and nutty hands.
Decided to call him here. I think a 3bet is isolating vs better most of the times and I don't know how he reacts to flop 3bets that well.
His turn bet is expectable on that card. Decided to just call again. I'm planning on calling 3 streets here.
But then he polarizes and bets pot OTR... draws didn't get there. He played well imo. I have a decision with my Ax and I can't really represent monsters on this runout with those calls OTF and OTT.

Ideas?

I would play this same lines as You if he bluff then he wp however i think 90% of time he have better if he bet River like this. He is 25/22 so I dont think he has wide CC range and Ah blocks a lot of FD combos. I dont think he has enough bluffs vs value hands to justify call as his line looks very strong

Not too familiar with player tendencies and bluff frequencies on. OTF he is repping sets and A8/A5 (only the suited combos, he wouldn't flat the offsuit ones pre) for value, so 11 handcombos (8d8s, 8d8c, 8s8c, 5d5h, 5d5s, 5h5s, Ad8d, As8s, Ac8c, Ad5d, As5s). There are quite a bit of possible bluff-hands, so I think your play to just call is far superior to any other option. OTT his value-combos get reduced to 8 combos (8d8s, 8d8c, 8s8c, 5d5h, Ad8d, As8s, Ac8c, Ad5d). So I like your line, x/calling the halfpot-bet. OTR he is polarizing his range, in my eyes excluding A8. Our hand looks exactly like what it is, a decent TP. Does villain have enough bluffs and should he believe to have fold equity against our range? I'd answer both of this questions with yes, and thus I think, I'd look him up. Our Hand is also a decent bluffcatcher, not blocking any heart, 7 or 6.

I hate these spots. He shouldn't bluff enough but he is representing so few value combos (that turn card is bad for his range as it narrows a lot his DP and sets)...
Given his AF I'd call I suppose.

I call to. Good spot to get a useful note on a reg.. ^^
Don't like the call tho, because the moment I click I expect to see 88..
He should play some flushdraws the same way. But this is why the note has a lot of future value.
A lot of players take the free card. Some keep their story up and keep betting their FD. Good to know in which camp he sits.

I call this off on the river. Plenty of missed flush/straight draws in his range.

His value hands are A5s, 88 and of course 1 combo of 55. This guy will not flat A8 preflop and will 3bet AQ for sure. I call this off and expect to see missed flush draw and 67 quite a lot of time.

Oh, because you know him that well ?
Then you can also tell us what he had eaten before his session. Could be helpful.

Your irony in not appreciated. If you feel powerful for trolling at an online poker forum, please go and see a psychiatrist. It seems you might need one desperately. On the topic - the 1st post includes stats for the villian:

Villain is a winning regular.
9k hands,
25/22/10,

i guess these are VPIP/PFR/3bet. 10% 3bet means he does 3bet AQ and the small gap between VPIP and PFR means he will most likely not call A8 preflop.

I usually have a 10% 3bet and I won't 3bet AQ here.
So you're making assumptions without prove. That's a costly thing in poker.
I like AQ in my calling range and choose suited aces and suited connectors to 3bet with.

10% 3bet means that villain 3bets 10%.. Nothing more, nothing less. It sais nothing about what he does with AQ in this situation.
