No reads on villian. Only 3 hands on him.
I went into the hand hoping to take it down preflop, if not cbetting flop and barrelling turn's that give me more equity. From what i remember during the hand, on the river I felt I could have gotten the fold If i pulled the trigger.
I made the assumption that villian would be the type of player who'd call too many 3bets and check-fold too often (in hindsight what i realise now is that these are the same types of players who will get sticky when they get a piece of the flop).
As it turns out villian had K9s, Im not sure he'd have folded to a river bet.
Couple of questions, even though I picked up equity on the turn, is this a once and done type situation if you get called on the flop? and also, since I didn't hit my flush or a pair to showdown, should I have fired the 3rd bullet on the river in this case? or in general given the action.

I think preflop is pretty loose vs an unknown, but ok sometimes to have in your range. Just make sure you're not 3betting every suited connector.
River is a mandatory shove I think, you never have worse showdown value. I don't love it because river doesn't look like a card he's going to be folding a whole lot on, but even if we want to under-bluffs I would still include this hand. He can fold hands like AQhh, 86s, 98s, 88, 55 etc and likely raises sets/straights a lot of the time on flop or turn.
Our river value range is probably 67s, 97s, T8s, KK+, maybe QQ. He can have some 7X like 78s but not really enough to stop me betting overpairs.
I agree. Preflop is too loose
And the river with your and I would shove.
