We're in the middle of 45 man poker stars sit N go and the game has been reduced to 30 ish people. Our villain opens to 2.2 BB from the cutoff. Our villain has been very loose. We're talking about 38% VPIP and 45% PFR. I picked up Ad2c from the Big Blind. Given how loose our opponent is, I decided to 3 Bet to 5 BB. Our villain calls.
Flop : Jh8hKc
Pot : 12 BB
Effective stack : Me with 24 BB. Our villain had 50% more than us.
At this point, I had no idea how wide our villain's range is. I assume that the villain's range is still wide. However, I genuinely not seeing that our villain is going to fold any made hand. I don't think somebody with 38% VPIP will fold a 8x. I decided to check. The villain checks back.
Turn : Jh8hKcTs
At this point, I am somewhat feel like I can eliminate Kx from his range. I decided to bet 4.2 Big Blinds because I think he's going to fold many air and (finally fold) 8x (with three overcards) and try to charge heart draws. He called.
River : Jh8hKcTs3h
Pot : 20.8 BB
Effective stack : Me with 19.2 BB.
At this point, I am stumped. He has to has something like Jx, Tx, or some random two pairs and set--but I can bluff a flush and a Tx and Jx perhaps won't survive another barrel?
I think I screwed up this hand pretty badly here. So many questions:
1. With an stack of 28 BB, is my 3 bet to 5 BB is too small?
2. Is checking make senses on the flop?
3. Is a 1/3 pot bet on the turn is too small? I feel like the answer is an absolute yes, but I can't see what a bigger bet will do here?
4. What should I do here on the river?
