You talk a lot about how villain plays preflop but not much about post, that would be helpful.
postflop:
yesterday he bet, was raised, 3 bet and called a massive all in with just a jack on a J87dd board.
Today he overshoved flop (bet, raise, all in) on a guy on an ace high board (heads up pot) and the guy folded an ace and whale didn't show but seemed to suggest he didn't have an ace, just a draw. (I don't speak their language, but usually they seem honest and friendly with each other after pots, and not genuinely sociopathic like in the states). Everyone felt that the guy should have called him and the table consensus was villain had very little). He's not that tricky.
this hand:
my feel in the hand was he wasn't that strong. Most of us here play thinking poker. He plays poker like a pit bull, wanting to take the pot he raised in thru aggression alone. He raised fast and my gut said he didn't have a lot here, like a KdJx or TT. Putting his range in equilab i came out with 80% equity.
I don't want to put too much into that read for the sake of objective discussion, but I feel these live reads should be part of my internal thought process after playing with this guy about 8 hours in 2 days.
My feeling was if he had a weaker flush draw, then to win a big pot I should MAYBE slow play it. I considered just calling flop to let others in with their weaker flush draws (some more fish at table).
On the other hand my queen was likely best hand at table and wanted to protect it from two pair draws etc. Guy to my left (tight passive player) was putting out a call and didn't know I had cards - sorry for not putting this in OP).
