I think I played this poorly,
The story so far:
Villain is loose agressive, has played about 40% of flops, will play most things.
I've played 1 or 2 hands so far that I've won preflop with 3xBB raises.
Preflop: I'd normally fold this, but I'm getting a free ride.
Flop: woohoo 2pair. Although there is a possible flush draw on.
Bet half the pot, I'm not sure why I bet this amount, I think I thought he might fold his nothing anyway or might call with overcards. I really have no idea.
In hindsight I think my flop bet was too small. I should have bet the pot.
As soon as I made the bet I started worrying about having given the flush draw odds to call.
Straight away the Villain raised me. (I'm pretty sure he would have raised a pot sized bet as well.) I thought I could rectify the draw odds situation by pushing, which I think is the second wrong thing for the hand. Although pushing still does not give him the correct odds to call on a draw. He called and the rest is history.
I think I played this all too fast and should have spent some more time thinking.
Is this just another of those "that's poker" moments or can I get away from this hand once the villian raises? Should I fold to the raise? Should I just call the raise and push on the turn? Is pushing the right response? He may have had a set, how much should this worry me?
I'm beginnning to think I should just fold the big blind preflop.
