His stack is too small to call the $80 just to set him up for later IMO.

I'm not setting him up, I'm setting everyone at the table up. I make so many continuation bets that if the table sees me fold to a minraise on a flop I see people trying to min-checkraise me off my continuation bets. I'm paying 8 BBs to cover my ass for the next 30 minutes of the session(at least).

You don't think villain would have done the exact same thing in hand #2 if you'd just folded on the flop in the first hand? I bet he would have.

What's the problem with that? Adjust your game to it. Worst case you should be able to pull the same move on everyone else and save the 8 BB here...

By showing them that you'll call them on the flop and fold to the turn aggro? I don't see how what you did sends anyone a different message than you sent them by calling and folding on the turn. I think you set up the play that actually happened, and think that you would have set it up exactly the same had you simply folded on that flop, only you wouldn't have lost $80 doing it.

Granted you got that $80 back, but if someone else pulled the move, you'd also have an extra $80 if they had you covered.

No, at the 5/10 level I don't expect players to randomly get all-in with Ace-high and no read. We had been butting heads a few times and he felt he could push me off my hand. fslex hit the nail on the head, I was getting allin on any non-A turn card. So ~7% chance I get stacked while getting all-in with the worst of it, 93% chance I get allin with a heavy favorite. I'm curious what limits you play at if you think people just make this play regardless of reads.
