No stats on villain since I can't get PT3's HUD to work for some reason, but assuming he's just an average over-aggressive micro-donk. I think I played it right, but curious to hear what others think.
As usual, will post results after discussion.

I´m sure that the player at the button hold a flush draw hand like Ax suited or a mid pair. He calls preflop and at the button. Your 2/3 raise sizes are standard and ok, but i think it was better to made a over potsize bet at the turn against his possible draw hand. I think his reraise after the river looks like a lucky two pair hand for him. To get fold equity with a bluff- for that his raise is not high enough. And with nothing he makes no reraise at the river i think.
It seems to me like you played it correctly. It is possible that that monster stack has a 3 somewhere in his range but it isn't very likely. you need to be worried about sets that made full houses on the river. but its hard to put him on this hand as well because of no raising on any street accept the river.
to me it seems like an ace jack, ace 10 type hand or a river bluff that he wanted to get you off your hand.
Also PT3 needs 1 hand to obtain player id's and link them to hand histories. in Zoom you only play 1 hand at the table then you change, so im assuming this is what the problem is.

I think it would maybe have been better to make him pay more on every street of value I don't think you bet enough. The bets pre and post flop in particular, were making it too easy for him to try to float on you with borderline holdings. When you actually had the goods.

Interesting advice about the bet sizing.
I bet 2/3 the pot on the flop, and then half pot bets on the turn. Typically a 1/2 - 2/3 size bet should give poor odds for drawing. I almost never bet pot size bets, maybe that's a potential holy in my game. Typically, my style of play is small ball, i like to keep pots smaller, unless I know I can bluff them off a hand or of course I've got a monster.

On the flop the pot was 0.15 you bet 0.08 first to act. I think when you're first to act you have to send out the message of don't f**k with me if you have a pocket pair higher than the board. Especially with the potential flush. I'd bet 0.12-0.15.
