Preflop, standard open, I would open this hand from any position.
Flop, I cbet. His button calling range would hit this board very well at least a lot of draws , but I still feel like to C-bet beacuse I can take down the pot right now.
He calls I define his range to be (mh:q+ !33+ !8q+ fd:92c+ sd:9t+with a pair maybe)
Turn, i think is a good card for me. He miniraise I called. I'am not buying that minirase is always the nuts, I think the best made hand he can have is trip eights with flush draw or straight draw, but people tend to raise big for protection with trips in this spot unless they have the board locked.
mh:83+ !33 fd:92c+m92d+ sd: 9t+
River, I thought of basic river model, I believed he had so many missed draws on this board and so few value, so I checked planning to call almost always. He shoved, He's basiclly saying he had a full house or air. I didn't believe him and I called.

the turn is very drawheavy and even when you can have queens or Q8 and therefore bet 50% I still prefer to bet like 2/3 because that is what you would do with AA, KK, naked trips. Its hard to say wether he is semibluffing here because I dont feel like they are usually capable of bluffing here at plo2. Anyways, at the river you are going for a hero call and at these stakes that is harakiri for your winrate you should stop herocalldowns on these stakes you are blowing >50bb on those spots it will kill your winrate. just fold, if he goes wild on bluffs he will eventually fire his stack in another hand.

I think it is well played. once you call the turn you have to continue to call the river aswell as all draws busted.

considering the turnsizings it's true, you can bet here little bigger but 50% is okay as he won't get the pot odds to call with a bare draw.

do you like to call the turn raise without any redraws?

I don't like it very much but BU just flatted, he has a lot of hands he could be raising so if we decide to defend it makes sense to take this top-pair-tk (ofc we would prefer to have back-up so this call is definitely more marginal but I think it is ok when defending a wider range). We block Q-fulls and the 8 is not super-likely but lots of draws he could be semi-bluffing: inside-wraps, flushdraws, etc.. , also we can rule most AAxx and some premium KKxx combos out of his range. Because of positional importance ranges otb can get really wide (which is correct) so we have to play back more often I guess.
