Again, PF is questionable... I hate min-raises pre-flop, and I wanted to punish this guy.

I didn't get too crazy on the flop because villain's check raise screamed of strength here and he could easily have a set. I didn't really want to go to war here. Is that a bad play?

Also, ever checking behind on the turn?

Thanks.

In position, I'd reraise this. If he's a bad player, calling is still pretty bad, but it's more acceptable. I mostly reraise to put pressure on him and the blinds.

He cannot easily have a set on the flop. You have 2 pair, so he's gotta have the case 66, the case AA or 77. There are way more combos of AK/AQ etc than there are of sets. You should be willing to go to war all of the time with this hand on that board.

I will check behind the turn sometimes because I think that the villain is bluffing a lot when you get c/r on an A high flop. That said, your small bet is good because it gets value from any real hand he's got and it's small enough that he can c/r bluff you again.

Reraise preflop next time and I think you played the hand very well.

OMG, Acid actually (well, almost) liked a hand I played.

That's because you actually bet and raised, which is in stark contrast to many of your earlier posts

Like Acid said, it's unlikely he flopped a set here, and if he did, thats a cooler, and we're going busto. Reraise the flop and hope he's going for broke with AK. Also there isn't really anything wrong with PF. I'd call a minraise with a suited Ace there too.

I'd threebet the flop 100% to be honest.

The rest is fine. Him folding holds no bearing on how the hand played.

I raise preflop... mmmm button.... The rest is fine.

Betting is part of winning?

WTF?
