comments on all streets apprecaited. Villain is 40/10/2 5-% wtsd after 18 hands (meaningless stats at this point)

We are playing 3 ahnded, so its war. Villain and I have been clashing quite a bit. I limp called a raise from him in sb with 66 earlier and bet/3bet a rag flop, he moved in, so i figure he didnt have a big hand. He is probably raising light post flop and overvaluing his hands. Neither of us have showed down anything. We have been going at it pretty strong.

Villain has 123, I have him covered.

Raise more on the turn, to at least $11.

I'd probably just call the river, but I may be a little weaker than most.

I can't imagine this guy had 2 pair on the turn...because if he did he'd play back at you hard. I think he might have a naked 8 and will call a big raise so go for it....all you can eat baby.

Hero reraises the most he thinks villian will put in with trips or the worse str8, hopefully allin. If villian has a boat then I'm paying him off. JMO

I think villan has a 8 here. I think you can push and be called by a worse hand a good ammount here.

I agree.

I'm pushing and going broke. If he had a set or two pair, he should have put you all-in on that scary turn.

How often do you expect to be check/raised on this flop? I generally CB the flop, raise the turn more and given your read, push the river.

Min Raise... your going all the way... but you really want the call, by tPTK... all in may scare

Assuming that stacks are ~$100, a push is only a pot-sized raise. A min-raise is losing value.
