Do you raise?
 

Not at table long, villian seems a bit loose-aggro, but haven't seen anything crazy.

Re: Do you raise?
 

I think I might raise the flop to define his hand and charge the flush draw.

the way you played the flop, your turn and river are ok. the money you probably left on the table is negligible.

Re: Do you raise?
 

Yes

Re: Do you raise?
 

I would raise the flop &amp; the turn.

Re: Do you raise?
 

Honest question rather than response... By raising the flop or turn do you not allow weaker hands to get away? By taking this passive line I'd have thought you get the maximum from AJ/AT type hands? Of course the question is how the balances out with other considerations.

Given that you were the preflop raiser and the guy is betting into you, I'd be very wary. People love to do this with strong hands.

Re: Do you raise?
 

I might just call the flop, but would strongly consider raising. I would definitely raise the turn with the additional outs you have now. If he has AK then he has to be concerned that he is beat. You played it too passively for my liking.
