    Could 3bet pre if he flats check/shove flop . Could flat pre check/raise flop
    I think you call on turn to fold on river on a card that changes nothing isn't the best especially against a super aggro player so if this was your plan to fold to river bet you should folded turn

    This is a tough one - I'm not a fan of a 3 bet oop as you are often in tough spots -

    I think play from the flop onwards depends on what kind of aggressive you think he is - his cbet stats suggest someone agro in small pots but not a real maniac - if this is right the flop call is fine (and in real time I'll usually do this) - but you are maybe better off with a raise - it turns your hand into a bluff if re-raised - but the flop hits your range better than his and most even aggro players will fold their air.

    As played I think it's a sigh fold on the turn - it hits his range quite hard and although its a good barreling card he doesn't seem to go mad with barreling & like antricko said if you're calling turn you have to plan to call a blank river

    if he's super aggro i'd rather 3b/5b shove then flat oop and play vs him postflop

    as played fold turn. he should probably empty the clip on most rivers so you are just gonna have to fold then unless you improve
