Vilain has 22/7/18 on 80 hands and has been raising and reraising me a lot of time... Everytime I made a fold

I checked on the river and he insta-bet the pot, should I call ?
How will you play my hand from beginning against that type of players..? If I don't bet the turn I'm pretty sure he'll bet about ~10$

Fold or 3 bet pre, i would fold turn, and fold to river pot.

I fold preflop. I don't like a 3-bet because of his stats. You say he has been very agressive, but his stats suggest otherwise. If he's been blind stealing a lot you can 3-bet, but don't call.

As played preflop, flop call is ok.

There really isn't any reason to lead turn. You can't be sure he'll bet turn for 10. What hands do you put him on?

Turn is mostly c/f because villain isn't betting with worse, you don't have many clean outs, a few are massive reverse implied odds and you could be drawing dead already.

I don't like the fold preflop, he's the kind of player who puts his all stack on almost everything so it's 2$ to possibly win 50.. And because he'll never give up, and I think a reraise just put more money in the pot with a J high.
On the turn I put him on a bluff, a draw or a queen and after the minraise he's likely to have AK or AQ.. So I probably have 2 cleans out (jacks) maybe 4 (8) altough a 9 or a K was also a possibility.

By his stats I mean he's a very aggressive post-flop player, almost raising everytime I bet...

i fold pf, you only have 100bbs, you're not gonna be able to stack him with a straight/flush often enough oop. by your reads he seems kinda unbluffable so i dont really like 3betting, since you cant hope to steal much postflop cos of his calling station tendencies then you have to make an actual hand, i dont think you do it enough with J9s to be profitable. and i def dont like the idea of getting ai w/ tpwk.

as played pf, i think c/c flop is fine. but the pots getting big and you have to think about whats gonna happen. If hes the kind of player to fire multiple barrels then i just fold flop. (obv that means calling pf was a mistake).

on the turn im just c/f unless he bets tiny.
