The guy I'm playing against in this hand has been really crazy. He would go all in at random times with any hand so it was hard to put him on anything at all. How should I have played this on every street?

I am pushing on turn

Pushing the turn is a little ridiculous.

I'm definitely raising though, and a pretty good raise.

As played, I'm not raising the river, and if I am, I'm folding to a 3-bet.

more detail.
How often
What did he show
Did he call off lots of chips or just bully others?

Raising turn is standard.
Just call the river against any saine person the raise is really bad.

He showed a huge range of cards. Most were just any ace or face cards. He called off a lot of chips but did not really bully. He could have easily been drunk. I realize afterwards that the river raise was bad.


Also he showed A10 and took it down. I think he would have called/raised with that at any point if I bet the turn. Bad raise on the river though.

given his propensity to call off chips with marginal hands, definitly raise the turn.

sure, i this case you lose more if you raise the turn; but that's results thinking. This player will pay you off with much worse hands than AT.

Agree completely.

The turn would be a 7 dollar push into a 1 dollar pot in a paired board with a flush draw lurking.

I'd prefer to just call down the river bet. Raising the river is okay if you can fold to a reraise, and if you think you can make him fold.
