Villain only 20 hands so considered as Unknown.
PF: 3-bet because his minR is really weak and I've good playability with my hand in terms of hitting the board and getting tonnes of value or just completely missing it and throwing it away. Range is wide with any broadway, pps, Ax, mid SC and high card SC.
Flop: I bet less than 1/2 pot to induce some kind of spazz from BTN which on my read is weak.
Turn: When he calls the bet, I'm narrowing down his range to Ax, 9x, or any PPs higher than a 4. When he raises, I feel his range includes slowplayed 99s, or 55s which is looking for value or TTs-QQs that might be looking for a free showdown.
As played, my gut was he had an overpair so I shoved to prevent him from outdrawing on me. My hand is also quite deceptive, but I would think Villain puts me on a very strong range as well like 99s, AAs or KKs. Not so sure if it's the right move to make?
