Assuming you dont construct your ranges. You should mainly bomb the turn and basically pot the river. Given how wide his range (judging from stats) you will get called really wide. On the other hand you could do vise versa and pot the turn and induce bet on the river (given he looks like blind folded clicking buttons).

Also 3betting pre and making the pot big is really good strategy though its hard to recommend it for beginners as you would get into a lot of pots out of position where you could mess up your ev.

Hope this somewhat helps. Good Luck!

AJ is a good Hand to 3bet in the blinds.


AP: checking to flop to the raiser is fine
also leading the turn, but I would bet bigger (half pot)
river is also fine, Maybe bet even bigger (half pot)
