Stars 150, barely ITM (43 left I think). I had been noticeably active in the past 2 orbits or so, with two or three allin reraises preflop and such. Legitimate resteal hands, but I look a little suspect.

Final Pot: t34790
This guy minraised preflop a couple orbits ago and I pushed allin over him and took it down. I considered a preflop reraise here but didn't like the stack scenario and the ppl left to act. The guy hadnt opened many pots.
I pushed the flop because I refused to believe that he would play a real hand like that against me. There was just no way in my book that he wanted action. I would push all in there with a lot of made or vulnerable hands too.
I got called by 66 and (as you can see) bricked. I mean, can I expect this call? I knew I looked suspicious but I could have so many hands there that I really hate the call on his part FWIW. Like, I'd expect to see a flush draw at the very least.
Heres what I want to know: was he just not a thinking player, or did I get totally owned?

PS I'm having a problem lately (read: past few months) playing "solid" poker. I really can't stand to play tight standard poker because I feel like anyone with half a brain can do it, and I can't possibly have a real advantage over this field by just playing like everyone else. Maybe it's made me try too force to many plays, but it's hard to learn unless i [censored] up. So if you see some retarded LAG stuff, bear with me.
