A few sidenotes, Villian is rather loose, but will fold if he has missed. VPIP is around 60% has shown down some real crappy hands. It's not difficult to get him to lay down a hand with a pot sized bet.

I call his raise preflop. Postflop he bets $3 into a $9.75 pot. That means to me the flop didn't hit him hard. I raise my TPTK. He hesitates, then calls. Right now my read is 99,TT,JJ, KK, AA or AK.

After my turn bet, he hesitated for the whole time allowed, finally calling. Now I have him on AA, KK, or AK of clubs, not raising for fear of a set.

I was leaning more toward the AK of clubs, just because I would have expected a reraise post-flop from AA or KK.

When the 10 of clubs fell, I knew there wasn't anything he could have possibly held that I could beat.

I think I played it right, only real debatable issue is should I have pushed in my whole stack on the turn?

I am curious as to other's opinions on this.

Thanks
