Extraction question.

[Entity]

I've seen villain bluff-raise then fold to a reraise. He's very loose preflop -- of questionable aggression postflop. I don't really like my turn or river play, but I'm not sure what would be ideal. Maybe just pushing on the river?

I think that should be you betting $5-$8 on the turn, and hoping for a raise.

I don't think you're play is all that bad. I would re-raise again on the flop as you already have a significantly better hand than he has and he is obviously interested in the pot.

I like your play on the turn quite a bit. I would have taken some time before calling him...make it look like a tough decision (I don't know if you did or not).

On the river, I would have bet more, at least 3/4 the pot, if not the whole thing. A push would have looked like a steal and may have been called, but I think you've got to try for a little more money.
