Villain seems to be a semi-smart TAG and possible 2+2'er. His PT stats are 16/4 over 100 hands. The only goofy thing he does is min-raise somewhat often preflop. I've played with him for 3 or 4 orbits and I haven't seen him do anything stupid (besides PF minraises). I've got a TAG image at this table and I've only shown down strong hands.

All thoughts appreciated on all streets.

What hand would you play like this other than AK?

None.

Bad move.

Why didnt you make a good-sized bet on the flop instead?

After re-raising villains min-raise preflop I find a bet on the flop is pretty effective in taking the pot down straight away.

If not, firing the 2nd barrel on the turn would risk about the same amount of money as the way you played it, but with more effect, in my opinion.

Yeah, certainly my line in this hand is not my standard. As a standard play, I would fire the flop but I was unsure what this player's PF min-raise meant.
