BB is same villain from the other hand I posted, again in the BB. Described as "a bit of a loose cannon who likes to pat bad hands early and draw to hands likely drawing dead". Had specifically seen him draw 1 HU against a pat player recently, and pay off river w/ T9632.

I flat the turn 3b and pat, because I think he will pat behind with worse and I don't want him to break it. But maybe against this type of villain I should be capping when I k/r here? Maybe I should be leading rather than going for the k/r? My feeling when he drew 1 on the final draw is that he didn't break anything for what that's worth, but obv can't know (feel) that until it's already done, and it's only a guess.

The river bet. Part of me thought he would raise with bluffs because I took a weird line, and part of me thought he might pay it off with his made 9/T (which I have seen him do, although not when he was the last aggressor on the previous street). That said, I might be more likely to induce a bluff if I check. Is it justified, or just burning money, esp when I will pay off a raise?

I think this is close, but this guy might be spazzy enough for a river bet/call.

raise pre, dont always c/r turn (but its ok). river bet isnt very good imo, c/c is much better. he's very likely to be drawing to 7xx2.

I would raise an unknown/standard villain, but with his personality at the table, I felt like he would 3b a lot here, and fold basically zero. Still right to open a good 3c from the SB?

We have 2 deuces, for me its a raise vs almost anyone. River I always check this.

if he's actually 3b alot, limp is ok. ime people dont 3b much <15/30 though. extra 2 helps though.

Are we checking the river because if we get check/raised we have to fold, not that we think we are beat most times?

Everything fine til river where I'd c/c

You mis-read the hand I think; we're acting first so we can't get check/raised.
