Villain had 3-bet me from his BU 3 times now in the past 10-20 hands.
2 hands earlier I woke up with AA and he had raised from UTG with 88 I 3-bet he called flop came
775 rainbow, flop went check check , turn was a 6 of spades leaving 2 spades on board, villain bet double pot ($.70)
I can over top with $1.35 all in and he called showing 88 river didn’t help him. Idk what to label him at this point but I don’t think he’s playing optimal that way with 88.

River: 6♠: ($0.77, 2)
BB goes all-in $2.33 ,, Hero.......?

This is his 3rd time 3-betting my BB raise from his BU in a short span. I decide to call preflop I give him 88+,AT+,KQ,KJs,QJs,JTs

Flop comes he checks I bet my T I don’t assume he has an ace it’s definitely in his range but not always. He calls and on turn another ace comes and he checks to me, I don’t really put him on the A now because it’s slightly less likely also with draws on board I would expect him to bet it. I decide to check because I didn’t know what he had and don’t want to get checkraised we do have a pair and maybe we can check to river. River comes and he shoves all in, He’s already proven he can overplay middle pairs also a lot of busted draws on board. I have a bluff catcher at this point and I need to be good half the time? Maybe he has KQcc, KJcc , JQ, ?

I opened up Equilab now that I'm at my computer and if we give his river this range : TT+,ATs+,KJs+,QJs,JTs,AQo+ we only have 26% equity , he has 2 hands we beat, KQs, and KJs with a total of 7 combos, idk I feel like because the hand was checked through on the turn we missed a chunk of info we needed to even entertain the idea of calling this river bet, does that seem fair? If I give him an optimistic range of : 88+,ATs+,KJs+,QJs,JTs,AQo+,KQo ( which is similar but includes 88,99, and KQ, we are given 50% EQ.

If i give him this pessimistic range: TT+,ATs+,QJs,JTs,KcQc,KcJc,AQo+ ( even including JT overplayed) we are given 17% EQ, which is clear fold.

Pre-flop is for me a fold against most villains on NL2. As played I would check behind the flop most of the time. You have some showdown value, but will be tough to let him fold a better hand and get value.

The rest seems standard. His shove on the river makes no sense, but in the end I doubt he will over shove as bluff. Only with decent reads I would call here.

ya, I didn't want to fold this one , I had 3-bet this villain 2 times from bb with AJs, KJs, in the past 20 hands and he 4-bet me both times I ended up folding them pre and giving him the benefit of the doubt. This time I had a hand that can do well post flop and In position so I was calling .People play like idiots at micros, 6max can be donkey bingo I get check raised by players holding Jhigh at showdown with no draws, its not proper poker being played down here
