I'm very new to heads up, starting at pretty low stakes (NL25) to get the hang of it, and was hoping to get some feedback on my line, and thought process in this hand. It's Bovada, so don't have a HH yet, but I'll try and outline the hand to best of my memory.

Villain seems reg-ish so far, with a ~25% 3 bet %. He's min raising 100% of buttons, We've played maybe 50 hands. He's called 50% of my 3 bets so far (small sample, like maybe 8, 3 bets so far). Doesn't seem to be a station or anything, just seems reg-ish. He stacked me ~15 hands ago when he 3 bet 33, I called with KQ. Board comes K34Q, and the money gets all in on the turn. Since then I had 4 bet bluffed with 47s, he flatted it, and I c-bet a AQx board (which I think hits my range better than his?), and took it down on the flop maybe 5 hands ago.

I guess I'll explain my thought process, and you guys can let me know if it's fine, or where the flaws are.

Preflop- 3 bet QTs which I think is pretty far ahead of his 100% opening range. Guess it's for value, initiative, and fold equity.

Flop- I think he's calling enough 3 bets that he'll have stuff like QJ, 9Ts, etc... that he'll fold here. Don't expect him to fold if he has a piece of the flop, Ace high, or small to mid, pocket pairs on this flop. W/ a 60% pot bet I don't think I need him to fold all that much, and still have some equity with backdoor hearts/overs. Also bet size sets up some decent bet sizes for turn/river.

Turn- Complete brick. Nothing changes. All I'm really doing is repping over pairs, 89s, draws etc.... At this point I suspect I can get him to fold his ace highs, gutshots, and possibly weak pairs. Maybe like 33 folds at this point. He's not folding any of his draws (FD or 67). Don't think he has a big pair. His made hands I suspect mostly consist of middling pairs. Like 77, 66, 78, A8, T8, 56, 99, type of hands. Don't think those hands fold here, but I bet with the intention of jamming any big card on the river (T+). Suspect it would be bad to bet here with no intentions of following it up on a decent amount of rivers. As far as bet size goes, I wanted to bet an amount that would set up a fairly threatening bet on the river. So, there is $18.50 to bet into $21 on the river. I doubt betting more on the turn (like PSB) generates many more folds on the turn, and would set up a fairly non-threatening $15.50 left behind w/ a $27 pot on the river.

River- Seems like a card that is a lot better for my range than his range. He's obviously calling with a flush, but the fact that it's A on the river cuts down signifcantly on his potential flush holdings (He can't have Ax spades). There shouldn't be many Ace's in his range, other than if he made 2 pair with something like A8s, or A5s. Where I can have lots of ace's in that I could have fired 2 barrels with AQ, AK, AJ, AT, (which are all hands I'd 3 bet PF), and would still be v-betting this with a lot of hands that don't have an ace as well (flush, TT+). If he has 2nd, or 3rd pair here, with 78, 77, type hands he's going to have a difficult time making a call I would think.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Dont play this hand like that again. Ty
