This hand is from the $11 6-max turbo KO on stars earlier today. I was only one orbit in on this table. Not much read on others aside from this being a pretty active table, a few 3-bets or raise-c-bets that won without showdown, if anything I had a tight-passive image myself up until this hand. The blinds were 150/300 with a 20 ante.
me (4440 in chips, ~ 30bb)
villain (13585 in chips, ~90.5bb)
Action got folded to me at c/o holding Q

8
I raised to 337, v 3-bet me to 750 from button, both blinds fold.
I called 413 into a pot of 1657 to see a flop of 7

Q

T
I checked to v who quickly checked back. Turn is a J

, I decided to bet about 830 (40% pot) for value, v called after about 4 seconds, the pot is now ~3844.
River brings a 5

, I shoved for the rest 2840
Here are my thought for this hand:
Given villain's small sizing, position + chip lead, I felt like there's a chance that he's just trying to re-steal and that his range is pretty wide. I wouldn't expect him to have hands like AK AQ very often as those hands tend to want to more chips in pre by raising bigger.
After that flop no c-bet, I was thinking v likely doesn't have over-pairs or AT KT-type hands either, since there would be no reason to stop betting. When v later called the turn, I put him exclusively on pockets, flop flush draws, or KJ type hands. I shoved river hoping he'd want to look me up with a jack to collect my bounty
On retrospect I think the river shove is pretty silly. At the time I was very certain I had the best hand, and I didn't want to make a mistake by betting then folding to a busted draw when villain raises. Maybe betting say 1350 for value/blocking and folding to a raise is better, since v is prob not raising with hands worse than 2p (my image allows me to represent a strong range, and that sizing leaves me with ~1.5k which would have no perceived fold equity). Some possible nutty hands v could still have at that spot are sets and back-door flushes that checked back a dry flop
Btw for those JCarver fans out there, you would think Jason would fold exactly 0% of the times in this hand - knowing he can show a profit in the long run. I generally have an edge post-flop at this stake, how -ev do you think is my call pre?
In the end villain tanked a bit and called with T

J

, pretty passive and unorthodox line taken by him, but it worked x.x
Lemme know how you would've played this hand. Would you call a raise if you donk-bet flop, would you check-call a turn bet - how abt an overshove, would you bet-fold river, would you open-fold pre etc.
