Do something different in this hand?

I could either call or 3bet this preflop. Unknown with 85bbs will fold a lot to 3bets, that's why I elect to 3bet here.
I think had better made it a bit smaller like $0.18 in case he shoves or something. 9 bbs is normally my 3bet size when I am in position to a 3 bbs open.

River I really put him on a King a lot, because that is what I thought he had the whole hand. Can I fold there against unknown? Best I can hope for is a split pot? I don't think he will be bluffing much. I know I wanted to fold, but the bet was so small.

I would most likely just Cbet the flop if i would 3bet a hand like A2s.
I don't think a call in position pre-flop would be bad ether. A2s can flop well and I don't think a 3bet bluff will work to often against most likely a weaker player.

As played i would call the river with the nice odds you get. Offcourse you beat only a bluff.

I do find that at Zoom unkowns fold a lot to 3bets. Too bad I can't take a look at those stats specifically (filter out the regs I mean). At regular tables this would be different probably, it has been a long time since I played those.

But, indeed it can flop well, and I think it has some nice implied odds against weaker flushdraws postflop. Some of which I fold out now. I might fold out some better aces with a 3bet, which is good, but I am isolating myself against a strong/strongish range with a weak Ace which is bad.

I think just calling preflop and keep the pot small initially is better, maybe much better. Also because although I won't have initiative, I can basically represent anything postflop, just calling an open from the SB in the BB!

Thanks!
