[25NL]3rd barrel, spew? [25NL]3rd barrel, spew?

Villain was playing some 38/23 over 13 so no real sample, no further reads either

Poker Stars $0.10/$0.25 No Limit Hold'em - 5 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

BTN: $29.00
SB: $52.50
BB: $31.90
Hero (UTG): $25.20
CO: $32.10

Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero is UTG with K T
Hero raises to $0.75, 1 fold, BTN calls $0.75, 2 folds

Flop: ($1.85) 5 2 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $1.25, BTN calls $1.25

I feel he doesn't hit this board really that often, but then again neither do I, would we cbet in this spot? An argument in favor of cbetting is that I think my SD-equity is fairly small here, so I'd like ot take it down here, given that he's called implies that most of the time he's hit this flop (FD, some pair, 66-88, and the rest he just likes to float with some overs or something, against an unknown never takes just random floats out of the equasion)


Turn: ($4.35) J (2 players)
Hero bets $2.75, BTN calls $2.75

I hit a GS so I pick up some equity and decide to barrel here, he''ll fold probably all the random floats, and the weaker pairs (2x,5x,66-88, probably calls with 9x, and obv Jx that improved here, FD's is sometimes calling sometimes folding I guess

River: ($9.85) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $5, BTN calls $5

Now at the 3rd barrel Im not really sure what I'm supposed to be representing, but I figure any pair he's made on the flop is going to have a hard time calling a 3rd barrel, all the draws missed, so he's probably folding most of his unpaired aces as well (lets say A8 of hearts or something) so I'm really only called by random 2pairs and Jx that floated the flop

Flop and turn are ok I think.

The river, I kind of hate it, mostly because of your betsizing, too me you would look like a tag trying to bluff cheap.

That said, if he istacalled 2 streets and he is a fish this betsizing is prob good since he will instafold all of his frushcombos and with timing and a little info this can be good.

Im not sure, why not wait a little untill you have a better read and idea about this guys tendencies. This might be slightly +ev against the avarage player but 40 hands later it is so much easier to determine wich player is right for this kind of ''spew''.

Noteworthy: the average player on ftp during euro daytime are mostly tags and nits. DOnt know about stars.

Your bet sizes are to small to scare him off anything.

Being OOP does not help either.

This is not a spot I would like to be in.

Fold pre. KTo is too weak to open from UTG/MP especially when the button is loose. KT OOP is just not profitable.

As played, you want to make your 2nd barrel bigger. Make him risk his stack.
I think that once you fire that 2nd barrel, you have to fire the 3rd barrel, because he'll fold missed flush draws and he might fold a middle pair.

Some more advice:
-Don't barrel fish. They don't like folding.
-Play in position against them so you can take free cards.
-Tone down your cbetting. Cbet only very favorable flops (Axxr or Kxxr, paired boards etc.) and when you have decent equity. I know that c/f a flop as pfr sucks but it seriosly beats playing for stacks with king high.
-When you hit a pair take them to value town.
