Re: My aggression factor was too high...
My thoughts: First of all I feel as if I would have been checkraised by him if he held a strong draw. So it seemed more likely that he held a piece of the board and I didn't want to scare him away from it. Second, the pot is so small that I really don't mind him picking up a better draw on the turn (because he is going to be there in any case).
I guess it just seemed to me more likely that he was holding a weak jack, hoping that I would raise and knock him off his hand. Because the pot was small, I would rather allow him to draw to his 5 outs than fold to a raise...
My last justification is that this player really isn't a poor player. I mean he is a little too loose and a little too passive, so I felt like this line from him was just asking me to raise so he could toss his cards. Anyway those are my justifications, bash away.
