I played against this villian for a little while now and have most of his betting patterns down. In this hand I never felt like I was behind. However I think that I played the flop very wrong and did not get the most money that I could have. Villian is a loose aggresive player that had checkraised several times during the course of the night and usually ended up showing TPGK. Tell me how do play this one...

The reason that I bet half the pot was to get him to call, he would most likely be scared off with anything larger. However the checkraise somewhat surprised me, I feel that he wanted me to think that he had an overpair or a set. However if he had either of those the bet would have been much more.
Now should I have simply called his checkraise and hope that he tries to fire on the turn and then go over the top (unless a J comes)? I really don't like my raise back at him because I think it scared him off on the turn.

Final Pot: $56.40
Not as much? Another $4? $10? I still am sure that I am miles ahead here. AJ, KJ are most likely from this guy. With a little more trickery I think I could of doubled up nicely. What should I have done?
