Something bothers me in the defence of that hand. I think it's the player on BB. If Bu is a whale, and if BB is a thinking player, after your call pre he can squeeze very wide and I do not see how we can continue with this hand OOP....
I think that even the turn call is somewhat .... light.
The river move is out of the story. First - villain bets flop and turn vs 2 players, and on river he bets again. Do uou think he has that many any bluffs in this spot? Second - The story you are telling does not hold much.

Hi,

pre flop this seems to me like a very clear isolation/value 3bet on the SB against such a bad loose player. A9o plays badly as a call pre flop here. Also, If BU is that bad you don't want to share the EV of playing with him with the BB.

Post flop, I think river shove is overplay for sure, given that he cbets flop vs 2 guys and continues for a triple barrel. Even if he was a maniac the shove would be very close because even a maniac will check a weak Ax at some point.
