Villain seems like a nitty reg
Pre: Sine villain only min raises OTB I think his range will be wide and weak. So for me it's either a 3b/fold line as a semi-bluff and then re-evaluate the flop OR defend and play postflop. If I had more info on how villain reacts to 3b's then I might have been more inclined to 3b as a semi bluff if he is folding to 3b's a tonne.
as played...
OTF: I think I can either donk/fold or x/c. I chose to x/c to give villain the opportunity to bluff the flop.
OTT: Again I think I can either donk/fold or x/c again. In hindsight I think donk/folding might have been better because villain is unlikely to barrel twice with air here IMO. So if I check he either x/beh with air or draws (which I could have made a thin value bet against and therefore charged) or barrels again with 2pr+ or a better TP. Therefore I think donk/folding might be better, but I wouldn't really have a plan for the river. I.e I wouldn't be sure whether to bluff induce vs missed draws if the river bricks.
OTR: When villain x/beh the T I felt that it was highly unlikely that villain held a hand like TP+ given his stats, therefore I felt that his range would be capped here and basically be draws and pairs < TP. If villain was LP then I might give him credit for a hand like TP+ OTR. Since the river paired and completed draws I thought that x/c for bluff induce was no longer an option.
I felt that I could either bet/fold or x/fold here since if I check villain will only bet better hands than mine and if I bet he might go to SD with some weaker hands some of the time (Jx or small PP) if I price it correctly, so decided to make a thin value bet and assume I am beat / not being exploited if I get raised.
