Read on villain:
Played about 50 hands, and he was pretty loose, and often min-reraised preflop (more than openraising himself), also from the blinds.
If I was preflop raiser, he never folded the flop. He either played back at me (often min-raises) or just called the flop, and then if I didn't bet at the turn, he would bet (if in position).
About a handfull of times I had seen him make potsized riverbets, both on scary and non-scary river cards.
More than once I had folded on either turn or river to his somewhat big bets.

Hero bets $25, Villain bets $73.90 and is all-in, Hero calls $48.90.
I bet out on flop, hoping he has an overpair and will raise me. I have no doubt that he would call a larger bet, but I'm hoping for a raise.
Given how deep we are, and that I would love to get all in, is it better here to go for a checkraise, perhaps hoping he would put in a third bet with a big pair?
The turn I bet 2/3 pot, again hoping for a raise.
The river is safe, so want to make a valuebet. But how much? And when he pushes, I'm either beat by a better set og it's a bluff, I never expect him to raise here with just KK/AA. Fold or call the river push?
All comments welcome, regarding betsizes etc.
