Villian has been playing pretty loose, henceforth I capped the preflop. Did I play it correctly here?

On the flop, I believe I have 9 full outs for a flush, but for overcards, I would reduce it to only 2 outs, after observing his aggro on the flop. I further narrowed his range down to big pairs, and AQ+.

Turn is an automatic call.

River, a fold? I think I'm beaten if I dun hit my flush, or a top split pair.

Villain seems pretty agressive from his limited stats, so I think that I would have at least liked to see a showdown, once you became heads up.

I would also have preferred not to put too many bets into the pot unless I made a decent or strong hand.

So, I would have called your opponent's pf 3-bet.

I would probably have bet the flop with your flush draw, but just called the raise.

The turn call is automatic, but I think that I would also have called the river bet.

The river did not complete any obvious draws, and I think that it is possible that an agressive opponent could still bet this as a bluff.

When he raises the flop after you've capped preflop and led into him, he has an overpair to the board. You should just call and look to check-raise a flush card because he won't be able to fold his hand.

why did you 3-bet turn? You are extracting no value as there are only 2 players left. Given the raise/cap, you are so far behind it's not funny.
That's where the spew lies...

I'm calling the three bet preflop.
Check calling the flop.
Check calling the turn
Check/folding the river

I think I get the concept that, since I'm only HU, and although I have a decent draw, raising is just spewing money, since my pot equity is low compared to the bets I put in.

However if there is several passive callers, it is much better to raise for value, cos my bets would correspond to my potequity with the additional players in my pot. The payoff would be much greater.
