Villain is a 50ish man, playing pretty loose pre and taking a lot of stabs post flop. Has folded after betting the flop when he got raised several times. Has generally bet almost any flop if he was the pre flop raiser. He is playing 75% of hands which he almost always raises if the pot is limped. Doesn't seem to fold to 3bets pre either. Bought in for ~€350 after his NLHE table broke and has run it up to around €1000.

€1200 effective stacks.

Hero (HJ) dealt Ad 8d Jc 7c
2 limps, hero raises to €30. Villain flats from the button, big blind calls.

Flop: €100

Ah 8c 3s
Bb checks, hero bets €70, villain calls, bb folds.

Turn: €240

Jd

Hero bets €125. Villain raises to €250 after about 10 seconds. Hero calls.

River: €740

Tc

Hero?

I haven't specifically seen villain semi bluff the turn when he backdoors a draw, but I certainly wouldn't put it past him. I think both the turn and river could have given him an inferior 2p that he decided to get silly with.

Given his aggressive nature I'm not sure that I want to check it to him as I feel he is definitely capable of potting it with ATC when checked to and it puts me in a nasty situation. Check/fold seems a bit weak given this villain.

Hero b/f $300?

Opinions on all streets is welcome. Especially turn and river, of course.

Also, I come from much more of a live NLHE back ground and have been playing a lot more PLO / Big O due to the action. If this hand is super easy or standard, go easy on me.

Yes I like b/f, that way u assure u only loose money when he has it. Sucks to check and let him pot with ATC, too much variance.

Maybe even bet more than 300, that way ull be sure hell fold out all the hands he could otherwise have bluffed with.

I'd bet more on the turn but as played probably re raise pot. What is he representing? Jacks are possible but unlikely and you'd think he'd raise 3s or 8s on flop and aces pre flop. Also wouldn't he likely raise more if he has a set?
As played on river I'd probably check and reconsider, though i guess bet folding is fine if you can be pretty sure he is only bluffing when checked to. Hard to see what hands with no value he has on the river here.

i agree with that. i also like checkraising on the river, that way we know exactly where we are in the hand (not commiting though and leaving maybe 200 behind)

If he's not raising a set of 8s or 3s on the flop then he isn't likely raising with JJ on turn either unless you're perceived range is much wider than AA ( not sure what Hero's image is)

Anyhow I feel the turn J weights his range more heavily towards QTxx with possibly J8 (or lesser two pair) or a pair and a wrap like KQTJ

If you feel like he CAN get silly with an inferior two pair then including these combo draws in his range then I don't mind committing to the hand and potting turn as he's never folding. With a hand like yours it's tough playing it snug oop
AP river is a tough card. You can accomplish the same thing as a 300 blocking bet with betting less like 225-250. Otherwise i probably check and eval
