No good reads on villain but he seems to dislike giving up pots. Just complete preflop? All comments appreciated.

I like it! Obviously pushing the flop is cool but given your read that he doesn't like giving up pots, I say let him try to and take it away on the turn.

I might have just completed, but I don't mind a raise either. I probably would have pushed the flop over his raise, but waiting for a safe turn to get all-in isn't bad either. Then I would have pushed the turn first, to eliminate the free card, although if you expect him to push, the check-call works too.

I play preflop and flop the same. I'd probably push the turn, but against this villain your line could be better.

Looks fine to me, although I wouldn't be shocked to lose here. But I can't see how you can get away from it at any point.

maybe I'm a pooossy by I limp preflop out of position against a big stack like that. If the blinds were like 50/100 or 75/150 I would push. But you really want him to fold right???? So is it worth the risk for 75 chips? I don't know.

But considering the flop...NICE hahahahha get it in either on the flop or the turn, doesn't matter to me. Looks good.
