So, the only read that I had on the villain was that he 3barreled the 2nd nuts overbetting the river, limped once and nothing more.

OTF I think he was cbetting almost every time, so I elected to CR.

OTT I vbet and get raised, I think he's betting ovp+ OTF and checking 55, 75s. So I elect to flat to let him bluff blank rivers with something like a Ahx Khx.

OTR he overbets again, and because on the other hand he did the same with a big hand, I thought I was beaten and fold.

So..

- Would you donk the flop ever?

- Would you shove the turn?

- Would you call the river?

Thanks in advance

If you know hes gonna bet most of the time check it especialy when you flop trips on a paired board becasue most of the time youre only gonna get value from bluffs.
This one is wet tho so you could also donk 80. I think both plays are fine here.

When you get reraised ott you can either call or reraise. Folding of course is no option because hes most likely doing that with AhXx or every air hand.
Flatting is ok because if he has a fd hes probably gonna bluff otr.

Otr id call if I dont have any special reads like if hes never overbet bluffing or so.
You have a 6 in your hand so 46 is unlikely and I think he would have cbet a FD otf.

I'm going to call because a) he's shown to be aggro, b) at this takes it's hard to predict people: they don't have a standard "thought process", which means it's hard to predict what the "average" player does with a straight or flush draw on the flop or Ah on the turn.

They also don't really have a range for bluffing, they just have random hands a lot, so I'm going to call with trips regardless of there being many combos that beat us.
