don't comment on preflop

[tiltaholic]

ok.

I have AJo in middle position.

Loose, aggressive but not completely dumb player (35/18 and aggressive postflop) who is down 20 bets in UTG+2 open raises.

One player folds. I have a fingerspasm and coldcall, although I intend to 3-bet to isolate as the table was relatively tight behind me. (this should teach me to leave my mouse hovering over the "call" area on the screen).

Everyone folds to villian who calls.

Flop: A 8 2 rainbow. (HU, 4.5 sb)

Villian bets. Hero calls.

Turn Q rainbow. (3 bb)

Villian bets. Hero calls.

River 4. (5bb)

Villian bets. Hero calls.

ok. so given my pf cold call, i was thinking that continuing to allow aggressive villain to (hopefully) bet into me would be a good thing. was this a mis-application of this line? should i throw in a value raise somewhere? i was planning to raise a blankish turn, but the Q made me think again. on the river, i felt villian only calls a river raise if i am beaten (or 3-bets).

i was also clearly betting any street if checked to.

what do you say?
