Villain is a 25/0 over 8 hands. We tangled once before where he limp called bvb and donk potted 2 streets, I folded.

Pre I normally raise to 1.25 or something, I was almost timed out so I just mashed the keyboard. Flop is standard..

Turn- Not entirely sure if this is a bad bet...I was trying to force him off a J or K as I can't see the T giving me any sd equity considering he c/c flop. 25 vpip and an utg limp-call suggests he'll have some high card combos so maybe I should just shut down and pray for trips or straight but I dunno.

River- This really got me thinking at the time. It looks like a fishy value bet but considering he insta donk potted a few hands earlier, it doesn't seem so strong. I've also been working on betting thin for value as I'm trying not to be such a weak fish. But what calls a raise that we beat? Then again it's 25nl and he's yet to open so he's not such a good player, shove it and fist pump when he calls with K2 ldo?

Turn is a pretty bad bet, especially considering you have showdown value as well as decent equity IP against villain's range, and there isn't a whole lot of hands that you're chasing out. As played, river seems pretty standard.

check behind on the turn, you don't have any fold equity seeing as his flop calling range is almost the exact same as his turn calling range. you do have showdown value so try to get to river cheaply.

river play, i don't think i would raise here. I don't think he is leading with a king on this board after c/c 2 streets.
