Villain stats 15/8/6 over 300 hands

This is the weirdest line I've ever taken in a situation like this, it just came sporadically to me and I attempted to throw 2 blocker bets in a row.

The thing with this villain is that he is been playing back at me all night during that session, I thought he was making a move on me on the flop but when he called my raise I felt that he was strong and decided to throw a second weak bet to see what his reaction would be, I ended up just folding it.

I got kinda confused in this hand and I want to know if my line was terrible and what would be a better way to play this hand.

I dont see him having worse here almost ever. It is a great line if you are trying to induce someone when you have a big hand though.

I think fold flop when he raises....maybe shove turn gets him to make a big hand but would not count on it

why did u 3bet the flop given your read? wouldnt it be better to call then let him keep bluffing?

Because I didn't want him to hit any of his overcards so I thought about winning the pot right there, I won't feel confortable if A-K-Q comes on the turn and will hate my life for having just called.

you're giving him for than 3:1 on a flop call of your 3bet, so i wouldn't expect much FE

why are you putting a nit on overcards anyways?

So what would be a good line on the Flop?
I think donk/fold Flop 3,75$ would be ok?

He is a tight player over 300 hands. Folding to his flop raise of that much is the proper play IMO

So instead of that, you decided to turn your hand into a bluff, by making a raise that hugely over-represents the strength of your hand, and making your hand even harder to play.

The whole hand is disgusting. First, you decide to make a small bet to induce a bluff by under-repping your hand. After he makes the raise, you decide to go from under-representing your hand to over-rerpesenting your hand. Then on the turn, you decide to bet $1.50 into $30, hoping for what? Your mind changes 3 times on 2 streets.

Pick a plan and stick to it. If your idea is to let him bluff at it, call the flop, check the turn and call him down. If overcards fall, that's just a risk you take by playing a trappy line and inducing the bluff. There are lines you can take that makes your hand easier to play, but not after you willfully get yourself into it

I doubt he's semibluffing flop, I'd just fold.

Turn is just donkishness.
