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?

Honestly I think you owned yourself. Pushing 18k into a 4k pot reeks of "semibluff flush draw" in many people's mind. Why not raise here to 3k-4k instead? Or call and take away from him on the turn. admittedly 66 is a little weak here but I think a pair of eights might call there also. A 2.75x potsize raise/a 22x raise of the flop bet, doesn't look like you're betting for value.
