Villian is pre-flop LAG but not maniac. No post-flop read.

Final Pot: $89.50

Main question is, must I raise more on the flop?

[DoubleDown]

looks good- from start to finish

i think the raise is of a good amt.

sorry not to be able to add much more, i'm not sure what else i could say

[poboy]

Looks good to me, I might make it a little larger on the flop though. When the pot gets to you there's ~$24 in it, you raise him $18 more giving him ~48:18. Not a horrible call if he has a big club and thinks you will pay off if it hits. Offering him slightly worse odds would probably not affect the outcome of this hand, but if you want to split hairs I would probably make it 30-36. He can't call with anything but a flopped flush or set profitably here, since he's only getting ~2:1 and you don't have enough left to give him the implied odds. Nice fold on the turn, he isn't betting into you with anything you have beat. JMO

Looks good, I think the raise on the flop is fine.

Happy bday.

[Malachii]

Agreed. This is perfect.

[Trainwreck]

A set, flush, and OESF, or OES draws are all reasonably possible with that flop, so top 2 pair is in the danger zone, this is a bad spot to get a lot of your chips in, IMO, save them for a better op.

I'd toss my 4 outer away to a reasonable flop bet.

I would not advise raising with top 2 on a mono and somewhat coordinated flop with a multiway pot.
