Interesting River-HU match vs Shillx

This was a HU match at PokerStars .02/.04 HU tables from a long while back. This hand has stuck in my head ever since.

here's my read of him from a previous post

[ QUOTE ]
at a significant disadvantage to him, he was showing nearly every hand afterwards.

I ended up +45BB in 200 hands, for a winrate of 22.86BB/100. Is that sustainable?
.
Here's my read on him HU. He will never fold his blinds. Never.
.
He's also willing to raise garbage hands preflop as well as premium hands. This makes it harder to read him.
.
He will bluff pretty frequently postflop. I don't have any trouble getting action from him. He's very aggressive.
.
I am not bluffing much against him because he's likely to go to showdown, and is hard to move off a hand (even bluffing hands).

Hero calls, Shillx checks.

Yuck, I know, I just wanted to be tricky or something [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Flop: (2 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Shillx bets, Hero raises, Shillx 3-bets, Hero caps, Shillx calls.

Now that I look back I think the cap was too strong of a move. Is calling the 3-bet and raising the turn better?

Turn: (5 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Shillx checks, Hero bets, Shillx calls.

Blech, 1 stinking turn bet?

River: (7 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Shillx bets, Hero raises, Shillx calls.

I don't think he would call the turn if he didn't want to showdown, so I knew he'd use clarkmeister's theorem on the river.

Final Pot: 11 BB

I'd edit the title and change it to boring, but it is too late.

I suck at posting.
