3B pot vs party reg, 150bb deep

Preflop ($15.00) (2 Players)
Hero was dealt 9 7
SB raises to $15, Hero raises to $70, SB calls $60

Hero bets $106, SB calls $106

Villian is one of the notorious fins on Party. This is 400 hands into the match and we are both playing passive in SRP and aggro in 3B pots. However, I have not seen villian bluff more than 1 street when checked to in 3b pots and he does not seem to turn even the weakest showdown value into bluffs.

He has been giving me a though time in 3b pots on midcard flop like this one. Both by floating and by raising. For that reason I decided to 3b 97s to have something to play with that situation. I am not sure this makes sense?

The above stated facts are also the reason I CB this flop.

The turn gives his range alot og pair + draw that will check back when checked too, so I opted for a valuebet.

On the river I figure he wil call me with worse 2 pair, but he might valuebet them himself if checked too. However, there are some 6x in his range here for sure.

I would appreciate input on how to play all streets.

Since he is valuebeting worst hands i think is no other way to play than C/C.
Is c/c turn an option ?

I think we miss alot of value by checking turn since most of his range should be checking back, but I could be wrong...

I like how you played flop and turn. On the river against most opponents I would make a small bet and fold to a jamm. You mentioned that he tends to show down weak hands so maybe checkfolding is an option? I am torn on this one, I think I make a small value bet and fold to a jamm.

Another point to x/c river is that we could get valious information, maybe he turns an 8 or 6 into a bluff.. !! I don´t like minbet/fold in order that i would be wasting a good oportunity of showdown against an unknown player !! At least see how wide could be..!

Did some calcs and it turned out that bet-calling/folding the most +EV in the riv (as long as we bet enough that villain wont start bluffing 1p hands). However the difference between b/f and c/c isnt too big ev-wise. Interestingly according to my calcs if villain bets large (2/3p, pot or overbet-jam) 97 is a bet-fold. Hero is indifferent between check-calling and check-folding when facing river bet bigger than half pot.

Range-wise things get way more interesting. Basicly Hero's range on river is: straight , set, twopairs, overpair, top pair, busted flushdraw and perhaps some busted gutshot draw. I think that Hero should be betting the top and the bottom of his range (straight & busted draws). However when it comes to one pair hands, two pair hands and sets I think that check-calling/folding might make sense.

I think this is a really poor reason to 3bet this hand. Variance is prevalent everywhere in poker, including specific situational dynamics thus creating illusions of exploitation. If the first 4 times the flop was mid-range, he raised your CB and you folded, that doesn't mean it's part of his grand strategy to attack those flops. There's a very good chance that it's simply a reflection of a player that plans to have significant raising ranges against 3b flop CBs and these flops happened to be good spots for his hands (whether they be for value or bluffs..) I don't think that's enough reason to completely alter our 3bet range construction. I'm far more inclined to alter my post-flop ranges (like what hands I'm CBing, and how I'm reacting to flop raises with them).

As played, I chk/call the turn. It's not like we're going to get 3 clean streets of value with this hand very often anyways, so I'd rather use it as a nice/strong bluff-catcher on the turn and then VB a lot of rivers when turn chks thru.
