I’m going to post this hand all the way through as the results are unimportant. I’m most interested in my flop play, but comments on any phase of the hand are, of course, welcome.
Villain in this hand is an action junky asian man. Probably in his 40s. Really jittery, shuffling his chips at max speed, playing too many hands and way overplaying them. He has $275ish. I cover.
I’m UTG wit 3s3h. I limp as this game is crazy passive. A raise would get called too much so I’d like to just see the flop for as cheap as I can and maximize value post. V1 to my left calls. LJ calls, SB raises to $12. SB has been playing way too many hands, like limp-calling Q5o, etc. His raise doesn’t mean much other than he will probably give me money when I flop my set. He probably has one picture card and a rag knowing him. I call, UTG+1 calls, LJ calls.
FLOP ($50ish) Td 3d 4s
I decide to lead for $20 and Villain snap raises to $60. Folds to me. I’ve literally seen this guy do this with literally any two or any runner-runner type drawing hands, etc. I think about ripping, but I chose to call and get aggressive on a safe turn. Should I have looked to get it in? I’m thinking he’s never folding any flush draw and he’d get to see the next two cards for sure.
TURN ($170) Kc
I lead $100. Villain doesn’t think very long, like 5 seconds, and calls.
RIVER ($370) is a total blank, I forget what. I shove.

With you in UTG, and Twitchy immediately to your left, I think I prefer letting Twitchy get the first bet in on the flop. (He's going to, right?) Hopefully this induces a calling party with LJ and SB, and then we can lower the boom. This didn't turn out too badly though.

AP, I too only call his flop raise, and I try to let him bet again on the turn. AP, he only has 200 back at the start of the turn. Let him bet, shove over, and he'll call. At least, he should unless he has complete air.

With villain like this, just always check to them if they are aggressor as they will bet too often and call too much once we raise. Check turn and let him blast off then rejam.

Jamming and calling otf are both fine.
I wouldn't donk flop vs an aggressive player. He is going to bet anyways so I like a x/r.
AP why you donk again? Let him do the betting. Especially when you say he could raise otf with any 2 you don't want to give him a reason to fold. In case he is bluffing otf you make it easy for him to fold ott. By donking again you are just saying you are very interested in the pot and don't want to fold so there is no reason for him to continue bluffing unless he is completely brainless.

edit: your hand presentation is awful. Almost didn't read it because of that.

I think you either make the turn larger or check the river.

Unless you think he calls it off with middle pair, checking generally has more EV than betting into him because you give him a chance to bluff in spots he can't call. If he has you beat doesn't matter since every scenario gets it all in here.
