How did I do?

Action is off; impossible to raise to $80 after you raise to $50. You also have little to no folding equity on the push so why do it? You probably aren't ahead but you have a nice draw. Call and play poker on the turn.

I would just call his reraise on the flop. He is probably not folding anything that beats you and you are behind his hand range here.

Looks like the converter mucked this up but I get the drift.

When he reraises (minraise?) versus most players this eliminates overcards from the range. In addition, if you do include overs in his range we don't want him to fold. You are behind here 80% of the time and rarely have fold equity (and if you do, do you want it?). But, the bright side is that you are getting good odds on your OESD thanks to the dumb min raise. I used to lose a lot of money with low overpair + draw combos. I'd need a specific read to go nuts here these days.

Let's see a turn.

I can understand the play, but I really dont like it. Any set calls you as does top two pair, but I think we are looking at a set here an awful lot. I like calling that stupid min reraise, hitting your hand and stacking villan better.
