Hello,

got here one kind of stupid hand on the first view, but important thing is that I 3-bet this guy the third time in like 20 hands and both time he saw my hand (TT,JJ) so I went a bit smaller sizing than usually (I would go for 9bb normally) but still preflop is OK I think. Flop seems to good to bet to me, so that is why I did not bet but I think it was mistake in this hand, now I would rather go for 1/3. 8 is obviously really bad and scary card and he donks which is not great as well, I mean he could have JJ, flush draw, some sets for sure, and JQ as a made hand and maybe some draw combos like KJ of spades... Call is good but maybe jam would be better when I think about it now - probably biggest mistake. River is a bad card for sure, only 7 of spaces would be worse or J of spades. And oponen donk over bet jams... Uh, why did I play whole hand like an idiot? Could I call here, I mean is he ever bluffing here missed spades for example? If he would be a reg than maybe sometimes... I felt like I have sucked out too many times in same kind of spots... But folding trips of aces feels so bad... How would you play it with considering history with this player? Thanks a lot...

Against aloose passive villain I would bet the flop for sure for value and protection and I would go for a half pot bet. Now you get in a nasty river spot with a decent change he has a straight and is folding fine.

Cheers,

Agree with SDK1987. Flop is straighty/flushy enough for us to go for a cbet since villain has a resonable amount of suited broadways which will still call the flop. On the river I would fold to the overbet.
