Default Breaking down redargoe

there was some intrest in redargoe since he plays so many tables and hours that everyone who plays stars has played vs. him at some point

redargoe is a regular at PS 5/10 and 10/20 6max. He runs at 21/17/2.8 and one of the biggest winners (maybe not in terms of BB/100 but he def. plays more hands and hours than most of the regulars), last datamine I saw he had the highest net ammount won.

So what do we know about his strategy-
- preflop raise is always 4BB.
- 3bets bigger than normal also
- never limps and rarely calls bets. almost always 3bets.
- doesnt mind getting it in with marginal hands preflop against other regulars. AQ is seemingly his favourite hand to get it in pf
- check-raises sets and draws
- C-bets a LOT

Agression factors:
PF: 2.88 Flop: 3.45 Turn: 1.77 River: 2.11


I think his preflop game is very exploitable, so many times he commits a lot preflop. Not pushing AK against one of his squeezes is very horrible. Also I think once you bet the river and get reraised all-in he always has sets since he loves checkraising the river.

please contribute with other reads/counterstrategies to beat his style.

Calling 3-bets with speculative hands like suited one gappers in position and pushing good boards can also turn a profit because I think he is def. c-betting way too much. Lots of times he will like bet 280 on a 300 pot on the flop, then fold to a push when he has 500 behind. Gotta do the same thing with AA and sometimes KK also to have a balance.

how is this different than posting a HH against a known player and discussing his style. would it be better if i posted a hand vs. him, and asked what to do, after giving these reads?
