Hello,
I have no read on Villain.
Honestly, I have no idea what to do against this...I guess I should fold to river overbet? Could he play the same way with something i beat?

He’s doing a weird 3bet and Cbet sizing, but I would raise the flop a little bit more like 12c in total. The turn is tricky, but I doubt he will ever 3bet there with a weaker hand and I would most likely fold, but with those odds calling isn’t to bad, but than you need to fold most rivers for sure. Especially on an over bet.

Cheers,

On NL2, you can expect everyone to play every strange play with every hand. But there are tendencies.

preflop: I know that those minbets are modern. But for mathematical reasons, i prefer higher bets. From BU, i steal 2,5 BB. After his min3bet, AQs surely is in my 4bet-range. But ip, ok, a call might be right.

flop: Top pair, good (but not top) kicker. You have 2 streets value, there are no draws, you could bluff induce otf. But you face a min cbet. I would just call and get my value later. If i raise, i play 2/3 pot. That is (0.13 + 0.02 + my Call 0.02) * 2/3 + my Call 0.02 = 0.14.

turn: Blank. I continue with 2/3 pot. That is (0.29 + 0.02 + my Call 0.02) * 2/3 + my Call 0.02 = 0.24. After his raise, i’m beat. There still are no draws, and he tells us that he beats at least TPTK, which is stronger than our hand. Fold.

I would absolutely fold OTT.
His preflop min3bet is already "I want to increase the pot but I don't want you to fold"
Then OTT he limp 3bets which is just super strong. These guys don't do this as a bluff. And when he then bets the turn it is just clear that he trapped you and wanted to get as much money out of you as possible :)
