My opponent was a loose agro fish in 3+ man game. I raise and cbet flop 3 times in a row and he was continously check/ folding.

I was really suspicous here, that he is trying to make a move, so i thought that my K high will be good.
What range do you give in his turn donkbet range?

I'm just jamming pre. Also in general c-bet less here.

jamming is also fine, depends on a few things. bet smaller flop. as played turn is pretty spewy

yea, jam pre

Jamming pre is probably best, bc you're not raising to induce and would typically fold to a jam 12bb deep depending on reads. On the flop bet smaller IMO 180-210

Jam pre, fold turn

Disclaimer: I'm not all that good so I could be wrong about any part of this.

I disagree that we should always be jamming weak kings 10-12bb deep, IMO minraising pre and cbetting flop were both good. The expectation of jamming is only about 0.1 bb's better than folding; we should be able to do better than that with either a minraise-fold or limp-fold. We're playing vs a fish who probably won't be 3bet shoving (or shoving over limps) wide and will check/fold a lot of flops. Suppose you weren't allowed to jam for whatever reason, would you be openfolding this hand?

On flop you should bet less (as stacks get smaller you want to bet less and less; here I'd say 180 or 200), and on turn unless you have good reads, since he's been check/folding you should just give it up IMO. You would be surprised how little people adjust; chances are if someone's been letting themselves get run over by your cbets, if they suddenly start playing back, it's not because they're adjusting to how aggressive you're being, it's just because they've picked up a hand. Since you mentioned he's LAG it's possible he's bluffing, but not often enough to justify stacking off. I don't really know what range I'd give him, but probably a lot of tens, some draws, some pocket pairs (those hands should be 3betting pre but since he's fish he might not be), some pure bluffs? But mostly weighted toward tens. Most of his air is probably check-folding the flop.

The main thing that would make the turn play OK would be if you had seen him play value hands passively and bluffs aggressively; so if he usually would just check his tens and queens here, and only spazz out with air, then you can get it in here. But I think most lag fish would play medium to strong showdown value hands aggressively and only monsters passively (so you can only take queens out of his range, not tens).
