PS. i flat one time two straits and on the river i fold and he show kings.

Tighten your hand selection pre and cbet the flop yourself if you have any equity on the flop. Even two overs.
See how he adjusts to this and take it from there.
Patience is a virtue. You have all night to stack this guy, just pick the spots and dont get emotionally tied to these spots.

If a seat opens, try to sit on his left.

Anyways, if you are the raiser preflop, he is not cbetting but donk betting.
Cbet is continuation bet (you continue betting), which means that you continue to tell a story that you have a good hand and you are using the advantage of having the initiative.

OP is kinda confusing, but if he is betting every time you don't make a c-bet out of position you should start not c-betting often with a mix of good and bad hands. After he bets you can c/r your strong hands as well as some draws/air (depending on board texture) and give up on your bad hands that you decide not to c/r bluff.

You dont have to play 22 pre, if youre uncertain how to play postflop with it.

I would raise pre if the villian isnt a shortstack.
You are basically setmining and to set mine profitably you should expect to get your investment returned 9 fold (for a 10€bet you should get 90 from the villian).

no the hands were like i raise x5 and he call and the flop is 22$ on the flop if i'll c-bet for 14 and he will go over like usually i will do dead money. if i check he will raise something like from 16$ to 20$ and if i'll call i already know he will bet 40. for this i completely don't know what to do in this spot

Read the post from ThierryHenry.

Also, it seems like villian is outplaying you, so try to avoid him and play value hands strong.

After reading all your posts, I have no idea what is going on.

It sounds like if you check he bets. If you bet he raises. What kind of sample are we talking here? Is he calling every raise? Sounds like a small one where you probably have just ran into hands a few times in a row.

In general if he is doing something every time, it is very easy to combat.

If he bets every time you check, don't check when you don't want him to bet.
If he raises every time you bet, don't bet unless you are going to continue with the hand.
If he's calling every raise and doing these things, either play really tight, or get ready to just be getting all-in really light a lot.

edit: thinking about this more. I would probably not have a cbet range here. I'd probably just start c/r air on flops that are good to cbet. And c/c or c/r my very strong to strong hand depending on board texture and recent history.

Medium strength hands get more complicated. C/c against a very aggro player can put you in a lot of tough spots and just c/f or semi-bluff c/r them might be better.

One last edit lol. Just thinking more about this opponent. If he truly is raising every time you cbet, then I would still c/r my air and maybe med to weak strength hands as a bluff.

But, I would be cbetting my really strong hands to let him raise and get more in the pot. You don't need to balance with this guy most likely, and he won't catch on that you only cbet when you want him to raise.
