So I open and BU very high vpip villain call. He had been attacking weakness even in multiway pots with very weak hands. Flop I cbet 3/4 and BU call.

On turn I would likely bet as default as imo KQxx or sets would often raise flop so AQ is likely good. This would probably be good spot to bet like half pot to try and keep dominated draws in pot. But versus this villain I thought checking and showing weakness would be good. So I check, BU pot and I call.

Now we get to river and board changes with flush and JT completing. I check again and hope villain try to bluff. But he makes this 2bb bet and I thought him having full house is unlikely for flop line and for this sizing. So to me c-r seems like almost freeroll chance for value. Went for shove.

Against loose weak players as already mentioned you dont have to balance so go ahead and 2barrel the turn.

On the river the minbet is indeed showing weakness so villain is not likely to call any hands weaker than yours. So a smaller raise sizing is better, but best lead 4value by yourself to get value from lower flushes, straight or trips that might check-behind.

But point is that this villain had attacked very aggressively when he had chance for it. Sure he is weak player but maniac type.

In river I was assuming he is value betting any flush anyway. Maybe straight also. Well he bet-called with plain AQxx on river which surprised :)

Ok well then checking is very good. I think check-raising might be an option to gii against weaker trips and worse if he is very loose. It also has the protection effect bc our trips-top kicker is likely to be ahead but could be outdrawn by weaker trips, straight-draw and gutshots.

Btw I am not sure about the river. It's rare people bluff-barrel rivers overly aggressive but checking is fine I guess. The minbet indicates he is not willing to invest much money with his non-nut flush otr, an indication that we should have preferred to lead. But then he calls, probably due to a lack of self-discipline. In general I often find it hard to predict fishy villains play on low frequenced streets as they often play erratic according to their mood.

Would bet smaller OTR as well to extract some value.

By any chance, is check/pot a valid line OTT? I don´t see much reasons for playing a river.

Yes I think so.
