AK overs, turn nfd, river flush - sizing? 25nl

villain seems pretty bad, but super aggro means that he's a different type of dead money. He's 42-24-20 over 200 and may have reason to believe that i'm full of shit sometimes, mostly cos i've been value-betting rivers pretty thin in small pots. We haven't played any big hands together yet.

preflop and flop are pretty standard, although villain does have low fold to flop c-bet. Turn check behind is interesting - i think pretty standard cos he isn't folding to a barrel here and i've got outs/equity etc. Thoughts?

ok, river is bingo obviously - except that he isn't blind and may find a fold with his 3rd pair most likely holdings, so, raise it up and hope for the best? shove?

His range is bluffs + straight(?) + weaker flushes. I think vs this guy who might think you are full of shit you can go ahead and shove.

why?

Take advantage of your loose image and shove. He'll likely call if he really thinks you bluff a lot.

taking into account.. "villain seems pretty bad" + "may have reason to believe that i'm full of shit", I'd say shoving looks weaker than raising, and i would do it quickly.

Bet turn.

barrel turn

shoving seems ridiculous

i'm really interested in this. I thought about it, and decided not to.

My reasoning (which could obviously be flawed) is that it just doesn't seem a good place to bluff at all, especially when i have to snap-fold if he c-bombs while if i take the free card i get to see whether the river converts my likely 25%-ish equity in the pot. I'm not sure about whether betting for him to fold 99 type of hands is good on a card that gives him extra draws?

so, barreling = obviously i rep the flush/high pairs/other strong made stuff so i have some fold equity, thing is that he'll be happily getting it in the middle on this turn with pretty much anything overpairs+ and probably isn't worried about the turn heart much.

hey, I am also interested to know why we should barrel the turn, and what's the plan?

i would just double its bet... make him think we just trying to bluff... maybe he'll shove and we got him.... i would play like this

u have a billion outs and only need him to fold like 20% or something and he's gonna peel flop light so he'll have a weak enough range to justify it plus we have some implied odds when we hit our outs when he does call.
