Default Re: Line check please.

Unless he's on a set the Button looks rather like a donkey:
-Overbet the flop
-Underbetting the turn.
-Calling the turn raise when you min-raise to juice the pot
-Going in on the river with anything less than a trips.

Anyway, to your play:
- I don't mind the call pre-flop, but a raise would work as well.
-Given his aggression, the check on the flop seems good. I'd probably raise it up here, but I'm trying to slow down and extract more chips when I'm way ahead (as you seem to be).
-I'd probably go ahead and put him all in on the turn, but if you think you can get him all-in on the intallment plan, the min-raise is good. It certainly ties him to the pot.
-I might bet less on the river. He'd have to call t1000 if he has any kind of hand, and would probably come over the top. If you put him all in like this, he may come to his senses and fold a weak ace. (Obviously not, but you get my point.)

Nice line. Hope he wasn't on 88.
