Villain is 68/37/1.1 over 41 hands. Standard fish.

Flop: I don't think much on the flop, I have an overpair and feel pretty good calling the bet
Turn: Should I lead out here? Get to fold some overcards maybe? As played, he puts in a pretty heavy bet here of 11 into a 12 dollar pot..possible fold?

River: I decided it was a good idea to represent the A and and hopefully steal the pot. I should have noticed villains 1.1 aggro factor and knew that he has something worth it.

How would you have played this?

I don't know the frequency he cbets half pot w/ an overpair on such a board but it's very low i think. He's more likely to have something like overs+FD imo.
I do prefer a raise on the flop b/c he probably has 5 to 14 outs on this board, so you're not way ahead of his cbetting range, even if it's quite wide there. And you are balancing for the times you do this w/ a draw or air, since this board is more likely to hit your perceived range than his.
As played, on the turn i don't think he will bluffing that often given his passiveness and the board texture, but you can expect him to barrel this a fair amount of the time w/ overs, trying to take down the pot right away, i don't know if this particular villain is aware of perceived ranges but he might not and just trying to blow you off the pot.
However if i call this turn i never expect villain to fire a 3rd barrel w/ his air and will assume he has the goods everytime when he bets again. So i think i call this turn somewhere around 40% and fold it 60%.
Your river lead is pretty awful imo, you are only getting called by better, representing a very narrowed value range, which is basically only the straight, or a slowplayed flopped flush. You can't rep the ace there, i don't see what hand you could call the turn w/ an ace in it.

I think the river bet is pretty spew.

There are a lot of aces in his range. Villain is not that aggresive, so 2 barreling is saying something. Besides that, is villain capable of laying down any other overpair when you donkbluff the ace?

c/f turn.

I hate the river bet. He's not betting the turn w 99-KK.

CH/Fd flop, CH/Fd Turn

what does CH and FD mean ?

Betting the river does not achieve anyhting at all here - think you can probably peel the flop but turn is close and is more than likely a fold. River is a check fold for sure - or a crai if you feel shexy

CHeck FolD...... pretty obv

raise flop dude, for protection. If he jams over you can fold. Easy game

please don't do this

the common abbreviation is c/f

B/F or C/F turn. Turn card is a perfect bluff card for you.
