comments on all streets apprecaited. Villain is 40/10/2 5-% wtsd after 18 hands (meaningless stats at this point)

We are playing 3 ahnded, so its war. Villain and I have been clashing quite a bit. I limp called a raise from him in sb with 66 earlier and bet/3bet a rag flop, he moved in, so i figure he didnt have a big hand. He is probably raising light post flop and overvaluing his hands. Neither of us have showed down anything. We have been going at it pretty strong.

Villain has 123, I have him covered.

Raise more on the turn, to at least $11.

I'd probably just call the river, but I may be a little weaker than most.

I can't imagine this guy had 2 pair on the turn...because if he did he'd play back at you hard. I think he might have a naked 8 and will call a big raise so go for it....all you can eat baby.

Hero reraises the most he thinks villian will put in with trips or the worse str8, hopefully allin. If villian has a boat then I'm paying him off. JMO

I think villan has a 8 here. I think you can push and be called by a worse hand a good ammount here.

I'm pushing and going broke. If he had a set or two pair, he should have put you all-in on that scary turn.

How often do you expect to be check/raised on this flop? I generally CB the flop, raise the turn more and given your read, push the river.

Min Raise... your going all the way... but you really want the call, by tPTK... all in may scare

Assuming that stacks are ~$100, a push is only a pot-sized raise. A min-raise is losing value.

push it in - we're getting called by the 2pr or naked 8.

I'm not sure that A9 is going to call here, but I definitely think that A8 will.

We had been going at it alot. I expected to be c/r here by a wide variety of hands. I figured I would take a free card with where I figured I had 10 outs to the best hand. Should I just CBet the flop? And yes, raise turn more.

push - i can't imagine being called with something that beats you. given your read and the way he played the hand, i expect you're ahead enough times to make the push correct.

It looks to me like his small bet on the turn was designed to get you to put money in the pot. It was too small for any kind of hand to fold. His reraise on the end, agian is not big enough to make you fold, IMO. It seems like he wants you to keep putting money in the pot. Maybe a fullhouse, maybe jsut trip 8's, or possibly an overpair. Small chance he has the same hand you do, or a smaller straight. I'd just call.
