Turing it down a notch

In the process of discovering my leaks, I realized that I am over aggressive with marginal hands after the flop when I raise PF. Did I get it right here or am I still being too aggressive?

edit: i guess a read would be nice huh?

villan is somewhat over aggressive when checked to him, he has also been caught making semi bluff raises that payed off when his money card hit

Without a read I do not like the flop 3-bet. What is he raising with that you are beating? Is he likely to be raising for a free card? If so, wouldn't a stop and go be better here? I think the rest of the hand is OK.

Given the read, once SB folds go into a more passive check/call line. You want to showdown this hand, but not expensively.

I was also thinking about a turn donkbet. If he is on a flush draw, that ruins his free card line, and I think we can safely fold if raised on the turn. If he calls the turn bet, I c/c the river, assuming a blank hits (which it did)

against aggressive people OOP i call the flop raise, check/call the turn, and donk a non-[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] river.
