    Default Did I play this badly?

    This guy is 83/2/2 over a small sample (43 hands). His MO is to call everything and then fold to aggression on the flop if he didn't hit. Pre-flop I raised 8x the BB because I know he would call or another calling station would.

    On the flop, I put him on a very narrow range. I'm putting him on A-j, k-j, or j-10. I'm about 90% sure he's got top pair here. His call of my re-raise just confirmed it. Was my re-raise too small?

    The turn was a definite scare card, but I can't fold here. I do want to control the pot at this point though so I don't push here. Any card other than that jack and I put it all in.

    That river card means I'm done here. Does anyone call here at all?

    just raise the flop a normal size (like $.85) and go from there

    fold the river

    flop raise is quite terrible. anything less then .60 is unacceptable and i'd go higher than that on such a dry board (there are no draws so if he's calling a raise then he has a pair anyway, so we might as well get more than this from their pair).

    you want AS mUCH mONEY AS POSSIBLE IN THE mIDDLE ON THE FLOP with overpairs and two pairs.

    on a more positive note, i like that you bet more preflop adjusting to his stats. kudos

    You said you planned on shipping it, should just did it on the flop imo. 80 cent raise commits you, so just ship it then.
    I fold AA preflop.

    .70 or more on flop

    when top pair paired on the turn i'd call/check behind for pot cntrol. as played, easy laydown on the river
