Similar responses to above. 3 bet to small, and river bluff way too big.
You say the guy is loose.....that makes me try to bluff him even less, or potentially never EVER. As you conclude, he is between genius and madness, you almost knew therefore, before the hand that he could have the ability/craziness to call this kind of bet or make what most f us would consider a crazy call.
In the micros I try to identify fellow tighter players and try to only bluff them, not the crazy random players who can raise with all kinds of hands and therefore show up with all kinds of hands on the river.
Finally, this was touched upon, but I think its really really important. You can't in my opinion, put someone on Ax only, in almost any hand.....its naive, but also inaccurate. This is something I used to do, but I've got better at thinking more in ranges these days.....still loads of improvement could be made.of course.
The key to my point though, is even just accepting that they do have a range of hands that could call can make you make way better river decisions, regardelss of whether you have accurately narrowed the range down or not, or at least avoid massive mistakes like this big overbet shove. What I am deducing, correct me if I am wrong is that you put him on Ax as that is a hand that would fold to your shove, therefore justifying your shove.....and this is why it is, for me, a massive mistake.
I def used to do this frequently too, and still do sometimes, but I know it and am trying to remove it from my game.
I'll end with a light comment. I do enjoy when foreign languages throw up word associations for me. In this hand I learned that in German/Austrian, forgive me I'm English, Check, is Checken, which immediately made me think of Chicken, which is used to suggest someone doesn't have the guts to do something.....in this case Bet, so too Chicken/Checken to bet! therefore checken.
Sorry to hi jack a serious hand analysis with babble!
