I 3bet pre for bluff (my first on this table and on this gay) because he steal from BTN a lot and I must show that I’m able to defend my Blinds. And the table is shorter ( 5 persons ) so his range might be even wilder than his “normal” steal from BTN (he steal 41%).

He is not much follding to 3bet, true, but the sample isn’t so big (350 hands) and a hand like A4s has play ability post flop (I can get extra equity post flop) - if he call me.

Flop: I Cbet because if I don’t do this, he will and I must give up. On my Cbet he throw out air, small pp, Broadways, Ax and get value from FLDR in spades.

Turn: I don’t Cbet Turn because, what call me on Flop steal will be calling (I think so). That is 3betting pot and I don’t want building huge pot.

River: If he check behind on Turn he has mostly FLDR, that's why I check River that he could bluff missed Flush.

Btw: How can I defend my blinds in this type of player, which steal a lot from BTN, CO and not folding to 3 bet?

I flat this hand pre but 3-bet is fine. I'd bet turn as a bluff. As played I don't think you can call river. I see people play pp's like this all the time and I think he bets his air on the turn.
