Analysis of the hands i think the ranges from all positions are similar and that the player doesnt change his three betting from position at the table just 3 Bets JJ+, AK. two hands at showdown he had 99 and TT but this seems to just be a situational play and his tendencies are just 3 betting a tight range. Maybe the lower end of his three betting range he folds on the flop or turn if he hasn't hit so we don't see them at showdown but i have a lot of hands with this player so I' m not sure
A pattern I want you to see here is how he's 19/13 (VPIP/PFR) and has a low 3-bet percentage of just 2.5 percent. The range {JJ+, AK} is already three percent of starting hands, so his range long-term is obviously going to be pretty tight.
The reason the 19/13 thing matters is that when we have a gap in those stats that is that large, it typically indicates that the player falls into a category we call "loose/passive." Loose/passive players bluff a lot less than they should if they wanted to be balanced players, and that means you can give a lot of respect to their bets and raises.
When you follow that line of thinking and look at their super-low 3-bet percentage, then you could really quickly decide that they aren't going to be 3-bet bluffing hardly ever. Your analysis of going through and breaking down all of the hands he 3-bet that you saw go to showdown confirms this.
The whole point of learning to do this type of analysis is that you can keep doing it over and over again to figure out how different types of players tend to play in different spots (in this case, 3-betting pre-flop). Once you get a feel for it, you can make some pretty accurate estimations like I did in the few paragraphs above without actually needing to see hands he's shown down with. And when you know what the guy has in different situations, then you can play almost perfectly against him.
