Cowboy reads:
[overly]aggressive, betting frequencies too high
3-bet range much lighter per position, more speculative hands
Continues lighter facing a bet or raise
Stubborn and sporadic
*I feel I am not doing a good job of exploiting this villain. The group of hands I have posted are meant to help me gain a better understanding of how best to tackle this villain type. When I do have strong value hands, I get paid off frequently. My main issue is playing my hand when missing the board but 'knowing' villain's range remains much weaker / marginal.
Looking back at the hands I'm sure I should be raising slightly more - but I do feel it was boards that for the hand I'm repping I didn't need much protection

I wouldn't mind a 4-bet for value but I decide to call. Looking back I really think I should be 4-betting these hands versus such a wide 3-bet - they will call the 4-bet with worse or possibly be 5-bet-shove bluffing too much

BB bets $4.74,
Hero raises to $10.50,
BB calls $5.76
He makes a slightly less than 1/2 pot cbet and immediately I feel he is weak. my hand has blockers to his strong Kx holdings. His bet is morely likely the bluff portion that now connected to the 7d or 5s in some way. By raising he can call and I can bet most turns that don't connect with the or 5 so not a 8/6/4

BB checks,

The turn is an 8 which of course is one of the cards I didn't want to see

BB checks,
Hero bets $34.88, and is all in,
BB calls $34.75, and is all in
He checks again and I make a desperation bluff to fold out JJ-99 and maybe some A5/A7 - i don't like it.
In each of the three hands I chose a minraise - since I believed his range to be more polar and to save for a bigger river bet to fold out more of the marginal one pair hands. But either the raise has to be bigger or I must simply fold or I must choose a different line. This villain type doesn't seem to want to give up on the pot - I am choosing more 'value' type hands that flop well but I'm still running into problems
