I am not sure about my opponent’s play. I would have Check/Fold 99 at the Flop. I tend to fold if there are two board cards over my pair. I am also not sure about my play. I was not aggressive because I could not tell if I was being trapped.
Ignition - $0.25 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 25.16 BB (VPIP: 38.46, PFR: 7.69, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 39)

Postflop is ok but you could consider raising to 10 BB preflop even when you do not know about his 99 (joke).
If you have any symptoms of gambling from villain's history (it's easy to recognise) than he would keep usually Ax or something worse. His high bets don't look like betting for value - he wants to kick you off especially on the turn. You should to call him all the way. If you didn't tag him as a gambler before, than you definitely need to tag him as a gambler after this action to take advantage of this later on.

You can call/fold third pair multiway but in playing against only one opponent you need to call him once or decide to relinquish your equity.

3bet preflop (monster size).
I would call him all the way down and raise some rivers like this one.
When he checks the river I would shove here. I give him 0 credit for Tx.

Mp2 i think 3bet better play but call is fine too, especially if villain plays 32/4.
River i never shove because most of time only can call 10x or better hand, but i beted for value, AQ, AJ can call here or maybe any Ax hand or villan can able call packet pairs, 77-KK.

Lot of people wrote full ring is dead..omg this table about 4 fish. What will be if not dead full ring, one table are 6-7 fish?

He has only 25hands, but villain is 32/4, so I preffer just call PF.

10 BB preflop three bet is certainly reasonable. But, I am very tight and very aggressive with preflop three bets. I only three bet QQ+ and I raise to 15 BB. I like to seek Stack to Pot Ratio pot commitment when I three bet. That is why I three bet to 15 BB. I do not three bet AK. But, I call AK three bet. I don’t disagree with your suggestion. I just take a different approach to three betting. Nevertheless, it is very good to hear your comment to better understand my opponents.
Ignition Poker does not provide names of your villains. Thus, it is impossible to tag any opponent. The HUD PokerTracker stats are only for the amount of time that you have played at that table. Also, the HUD can be compromised if one player leaves and is replaced by a different player at the same spot. I know that I am a heretic because of my preflop strategy. Let me reveal another sin. I turn off HUD and do not even consider my villain’s stats when making decisions. I used HUD at another site. But, that site has very little action. Ignition seems to have the most activity for Americans.

Would you call only even with AKo?
I mean, AKs has a better playability multiway even if some villains overcall that, after you.

As far as I can remember, Ignition/Bovada/Bodog used to have a tagging system (not sure if they still have), but that was good only for that particular session...

My VPIP is 15%, I will call any raise or 3 bet up to 8 BB. I know that it is very tight but I will only call raises or 3 bets over 8 BB with AK. Above 20 BB, I will fold AK. If I face a raise or 3 bet over 10 BB, I will shove QQ+. One of the reasons that I limp a lot preflop is because I have such a narrow 3 bet calling range. Thus, I seek to avoid facing 3 bets which forces me to fold hands that I would like to play. Again, I know other players can have fine success with a loser range. This simply works for me. Ignition is completely anonymous. It is possible to tag an opponent only for one particular session.
