Hero call time vs wide 3bettor?

Villain is an overaggressive loose player who's 3betting wide.He likes as a standard to attack on flops and rivers - very little if no action on turns.Effective Stacks: 35bb Blinds 15/30 Pre-Flop (45, 2 players) Hero is BTN Hero raises to 60, Villain raises to 195, Hero calls 135    Flop (390, 2 players) Villain bets 195, Hero calls 195    Turn (780, 2 players) Villain checks, Hero checks    River (780, 2 players) Villain bets 1555Hero has 665 left.My reasoning:Preflop I call to keep in all the worst hands: I know for sure that is 3betting also with worst kings, and various connectors.The flop for him is a cbet with the whole range. I'm glad to see two Aces on the board, not excited at all with the 9 wicth hits a lot of his connectors.Turn is a bad card (all his connectors have hit the board now) and I check behind.On the river I think that 9x - 8x - small and medium pairs would go for a showdown and given that the turn has gone check/check even some his Ax should go for a check/call line because he's seen me value bet worst than Ax in this spots.Is this correct or you see some flaws?

If he's 3betting quite wide,

If he's 3betting quite wide, I actually prefer 4bet/calling it off with KJs at this stack depth. Him losing 20% of his stack instead of getting the chance to win the pot with his weaker hands isn't the worst thing in the world, expectation-wise. He can also flat the 4bet with the same sorts of dominated hands.With only 665 back after his flop bet, I think jamming is likely better than letting him realize his equity on turn and river.
