Please review my hand. This is on a Rush table. 25NL Rush plays similar to 5NL-10NL non-Rush in certain ways.

I have these notes on villain, which I'll unabbreviate for you:
3-1-10 - 25NL - Raise 3bb SBvBB(me) w/$21, Pot Cbet 983t before ck/f Kt
3-5-10 - 25NL - Raise 3bb/Call 3bet w/66 SBvBB(me 3bet $2.50 w/AA) w/$27, ck/r 3.1x/Call all-in QJ6r, Kt and Tf arrives and I win. === Set mines OOP vMy slightly big 3Bet BvB. 3Bet to $2.75 over his 3bb SB open next time, value bet him big!

The notes say that I can 3bet him for thin value since he'll call too light, and big; plus that he can cbet big OOP against me on a wet flop with a weak hand/air.

In non-Rush I 4bet preflop here. But in Rush people are more tight-passive, and I don't have stats on this villain yet, so I am unsure what to do here. I often only 4bet KK+ and bluffs in this spot. I plan to call here and check-raise all-in on many flops, or sometimes check-call with a pair. Should I 4bet, and if so, to what size?

I'm behind straights, sets, two pairs, and AA on this flop, but tie AK. I beat some Kings and Aces and Jacks and 98s here though, plus his pairs weaker than mine and air. I'm confused here and am not sure if I should lead, also because I don't know how to handle a raise. I decide to check-evaluate here. Should I bet, if so, what size? As played, should I raise his bet, if so, what size?

The turn is weird for me. Should I bet, if so, what size? As played, should I shove? Thanks, Yojimgari

We have too choices preflop here OOP.
We either 4bet to around 8.25 for value and call it off.
Or we call and plan to c/r a LOT of flops.

Given we dont have stats on how often he cbets and stuff like that ,i'd be more inclined to go ahead and 4bet pre here.

For me, I'd want to take the initative OOP to the flop as lots of bad players at 25nl tend to call 4bets too light (esp ip).

Flop looks standard I def wouldnt be looking to c/r this flop vrs his 3beting range pre..

On the turn, he makes wat looks like a polorising bet,which would auto put me in call down mode.
Its because its halfpot again.
He is obv bluffing or not worried about draws getting there cus he has the nuts.(obv he knows many 2pairs are in your range so if the board pairs in any way he's not gona like his J so much.)
Also if he had a J he would surley think he could get pot size value here vrs your range.(I lean towards thinking, hes turning a hand like KQ/99 into a bluff ..but may often just be bad and not able to put you on any range because he doesnt think like that.(sry bit of a ramble I know..must be the coffeeeeee)

I would look at the great odds we get on the turn and we almost always get his full stack when we spike one of our 4 outs .
Also Id expect him to shut down on some of his bluffs(ie the ones with some showdown value)
And if his realy bad to be bluffing without equity here, He will often make a really small and stupid totalbluff on the river that we will be priced to call.
If we brick and he shoves the river Id fold then.But I'm not folding the turn.

I'm really hating preflop here. Calling 3bets OOP with AK is just begging to get into trouble postflop. You'll either have to play fit/fold or start making A-high calldowns or turn your hand into a 6-out semibluff which all seems highly unneceserry when you can just 4bet/call preflop

Wheter rush is more passive or not, it's such a standard spot for him to be 3betting a wide range that you should have plenty FE on a 4bet and if you do get it in your usually in decent shape vs his range
