AJ NL25
I've got 3 hands on this guy, so the stats are irrelevant. I guess PF is fine, even though his 4x 3bet size.
I know that this may be the dumbest thing ever, but I figured out, that this flop hits my range better, than his and he might fold his over cards. On the turn, I thought, that he might fold his overpairs without heart... So what should I do on the river? Should I follow through with my plan, once he calls my raises? I showed a lot of strenght, but he wasn't willing to give up on the pot...
Feel free to bash me as much as you want
Regards

I didn't read anything after I have seen the hand. What can I say...you go crazy without equity Vs unknown. So there is nothing to discuss.
I'll try and articulate why I think this is the incorrect way to play the hand and hopefully point out where I believe your thought process is wrong and where it can be improved, because I can definitely see where you're coming from.
Your range does hit this flop slightly better given that you have more suited connectors in your range than he does (and perhaps more sets), but your specific hand doesn't have a huge amount of equity on the flop and against his calling range postflop, it has virtually no equity on the 8h river. In general, unless you have a strong read that opponent cbets flop too much, I think reraising is probably the least profitable action postflop. When considering hands to xr in a spot like this, I think we should look for monster draws, in particularly in a 3bet pot where villain has lead flop. Without a backdoor straight door or any type of flush draw, I don't think this is a great candidate to check raise - is our opponent going to fold better when we xr this? He's continuing with any overpair and any set which are all in his range, any AhKh suited type hand, and the only hands that are better than he could fold are 88, 77, AKs/AQs not of hearts. Is he going to call with worse? Almost certainly not, I can't really think of any combos in his range that have less equity than our hand. So when we look at this xr on the flop, I think we can conclude that it's not the best play, as anytime he continues we are almost certainly a long way behind.
Having said all that, I think it is pretty clear why check back and giving up on every river is the best play on the turn.
When we get to the river having played the hand like this, I would normally say that we should jam any river with a high frequency, however because the pot is 121BB and you only have 40BB, you are obviously giving villain a way to good price to call, if you're planning on betting then I think the most profitable sizing is likely to be at least 1.5x pot.
Given your stack, I think it's a pretty clear check back on the river, review the hand, try to see why your play was sub optimal and then on to the next one :-)
Fold flop very easy, this is kind of spewy bruh,
you have way more robust hands to use as bluffs here.
bluffraise with atleast a backdoor flushdraw or str8draw lel
If you use hands like this to bluffraise you are either extremely overbluffing or not continuing with better hands correctly.
does not mean that when the board hits better for us to go mad with any hand , cause we gonna super overbluff/spazz/spew vs tight 3bet OOP micro/low ranges.
Also keep in mind when cbetsOOP on a board that he should check a lot, he is not going to leave the pot without a fight in most of the times.. So we need more much more equity with our bluffs to backup our Raise-story on turn/river.
