Villein is semi decent tag. Pre-flop I 3 bet for value against his range, when he calls I can discount QQ+ and AK. On the flop should I check raise to let him put money in with worse hands/disguise my hand when he checks back or just bet to get value from TT/JJ/decent king?

No reads on this guy except he will chase weak flush draws at almost any price.

Raise his limp pre-flop? Normally I won't raise very often if the small blind just limps; change that?

I bet on the flop to get value from random stuff in his range (very wide), when he calls the turn I think his range is flush draws,9x, maybe even over cards. River he over bets the pot which seems strong
(A4,5x,set,). Comments on how I played the hand + river.

Villein was a average player. Notes before the hand were as follows.

will not 3 bet TT in blind to button raise.
stacks off with TPGK on flop
called raise in with A4, min raised turned 2 pair

So not great but not really a true donk.

Preflop I have his range as (22-66,78s+,random face cards J-K + weak kicker,A2o-A6o).

I lead the flop for value hoping he and the other limper will call with small pairs, flush draws and overcards because they think I'm FOS.
Turn bet is still for value, when he raises I'm not what to do as if I shove I think he folds worse hands and calls with better. Is calling too weak?

.70
call
w/e I fold

Hand 1: .6-.7pre C bet because fd on board, c raise only folds out worse and rarely gets calls from better , and you are c bettin missed hands to rep king here as well.

Hand 2: I raise pre, but thats me. I call river cause villian is almost never value betting unless he has a 5 so his range is alot of bluffs. Pokerstove it.

Hand 3: Turn raise = nuts at 5nl a ton. I fold.

Ok for hand 2 I put a range into Pokerstove, taking into account he wouldn't play 9x this way (check call instead) and that he may try to bluff in this spot I have a range of,

A6s-A5s,QhJh,T5s,95s,85s,75s,A6o,T5o,87o

Which we have 69% against, thoughts on that range as putting people on ranges is something which I need to improve.
