Ok villain is 20/17, he's a solid regular (no AF stat for some reason) who I have a fair bit of history with. I 3bet him 3 times in about 5 orbits when he was BTN vs me in bb. I had monsters the first 2 then went for it still with 99 and he 4bet me (debatable but I had my reasons). I folded but then got TT 1 orbit later and 3bet him again to which he folded. I've also been very aggro and raising a ton from LP, I've got every reason to think the table sees me as a maniac. This guy may realise I'm not an idiot, but he may not.

1st question, against this type of opponent where we have 3bet him a ton and he finally plays back, he would (supposedly) think we would tighten our 3betting range (since we got 4bet last time), so should I loosen up my 3betting in the near future just to pwn him on a higher level?

2nd, this hand. I figure the call pf is fine cos of our image and that he prob thinks I'm a maniac. Donk bet on the flop good? I think it's much better than c/r given the image. But when he raises, should we always 3bet? Is my raise size ok?

EDIT: I made it $62 to go but deleted it from the hh for some reason, lol.

Id put it in here. I see no reason not too.
If we call we are usually checking turn to him to check-raise all in and that allows him to pot control overpairs/draws if he wants, and he may not elect to bluff certain cards. the can also kill our action against alot of his range such as AT, JJ, 2 black kings which may be happy to get in on flop but hate the board by the turn.

3bet/call, no other option is even close

I think you can keep 3 betting him light because he will have expected you to have tightened up your range.

I don't like 3betting pre flop with 55 though with a caller, we are getting decent odds to see a flop for our holding so let's just make money by calling.

3b/call flop obv, $62 is fine, I'd go somewhere around that amount

1. I think u are thinking too advanced. Maybe at nl200 or 400 your thinking would be good, but IDK exactly how much ppl at NL100 are thinking.

The guys on CR usually exploit plays untill they get played back at. So u got played back at once (maybe it was for value). Maybe keep the aggression up, but if he does it again, I would shut down. U gotta adjust or he will just start 4betting you light.

uh i would c/r here usually.
ur just killing a ton of action from btn when u lead.
though your image warrants a donok bet b/c he obv has much less respect for your hand values b/c you have been so agressive lately.

reason I c/r though, is a ton of hands will repop like overs, and flush draws, plus we enourage a call from SB and then his money is dead in the pot when we c/r.

pretty easy repop here though. IMO only a donk would bluff here, b/c you are gunna be playing your draws. He prolly has a little something.
