If he has been raising pre flop every hand, a 3 bet would be suffice- I doubt he wants to get into any major pots with another large stack near the bubble, and you have the chips to spare a decent 3 bet. Calling the flop is fine. Checking the turn is fine considering a convincing lead bet would be quite hefty. The river bet was perfect considering the circumstances; he can easily put you on bluffing a missed draw since he didn't dig out any information on the turn.

if he's raised the last 14 hands then you should definitely be re-raising. shoving would be the low variance approach but 3-bet/calling a shove is probably optimal if you're not too concerned about cashing. as played, post-flop i think it's well-played given how wide his range is. what's the plan if he bets turn? how about if he shoved the river?

not sure what you're doing on the flop... fold usually.. if you're going to float make sure you know what you're doing on the turn..

if you think hes minraising light 3 bet him, i dont like the flat call pre..

3bet/calling pre seems fine, also fold flop

why fold flop? so many hands in his range we're ahead of. He c-bet every hand so he'll do it with any ace, king or even lower pp. If he bets turn big i think we can fold, but folding on this flop is just weeeeak imo..

cause even if we call our hand value doesn't improve like ever besides we hitting the set, and most turns are bad and just doing the guessing game ''I got a pair lets just c/c every street on every board'' is pretty bad

I didn't think a 3 bet was the best line to take to extract value. I felt his post flop play was very poor and I could exploit him and extract better value by calling. My plan when floating the flop was to check/fold the turn, when he checked behind on the turn I thought I was in front. The river, well a ******ed monkey could have made that bet. As it turns out I was crushed until the river, he had AJo.
