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

Villain has a much wider 3-bet range, I would definitely be 4-bet bluffing more in this spot. This exact hand I feel is played best as a call.

Between villain's wide 3-bet range and this board texture his cbet will be much more polar OR he is merge cbetting but will have trouble OOP on turns and rivers.
As I would continue with my entire range in this spot by calling and because he is much wider, I felt my hand is a good candidate to float - the Ace of spades means there are plenty of turns that will improve my hand to some decent equity.

This turn bet sizing to me was indicative of a medium strength hand - i'm expecting a polar range to bet bigger to size up a rive shove a bit more. It actually felt like he had picked up a draw too like the 9s8s or generally 9ss and didn't want to be blown off his equity by betting bigger and facing a shove, having said that my turn raise sizing would definitely be ineffective. Why I picked the smaller sizing is to safe for a reasonable river bet size instead of raise-committing OTT only to get called by a draw that is beating me such like the 98s mentioned or KsTs Ks9s etc

BB checks,

I stick to the plan and shove the river, expecting a fold.. but he calls, what do you think he shows here?
