Default You\'re going to have to earn this pot.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (4 handed) converter

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

Hero ($79.95)
SB ($28.30)
BB ($41.65)
UTG ($35.65)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to $1</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $0.50.

Flop: ($2.25) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $1</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $3</font>, SB calls $2.

Turn: ($8.25) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $0.25</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4.75</font>...

This $0.25 bet really confused me, so I figured I'd hammer it. The preflop minraise was because I had noted that the SB would fold hands he would otherwise complete for a minbet, so I wanted to isolate BB, or at least build a small pot so I could easily steal it on the flop.



He was making an attempt to snap off my superaggro style that I have been playing for the past fifteen minutes that I've been at this table for. I've just been absolutely running the game over, and most people had gotten up and left. I knew he'd call with anything that beats me.

Should I have played it more conservatively, given that? Give up on the flop? If checked to on the turn (instead of the minbet) what do I do?
