Results to follow

Any suggestions for better lines here?
Villain is 29/8 over 700 hands with him...he hasn't done anything too out of line, from the few hands i've seen he tends to slowplay quite a bit. My thoughts were he's probably calling this reraise with QQ, JJ, 1010, AK (AA and KK unlikely).

How about bet, bet, bet?

I'd bet about the pot on the flop and try to get the rest in on the turn.

Don't like the check on the flop, your just asking him to suck out on you. The pots big enough to win right there, so bet the pot and define your hand, then evaluate the turn. No reason to slowplay here, I think a lot of cards could get you in trouble on the turn: a straight card, if the Q or T pair or if an ace hits. Read the free card or slowplaying section in TOP if you don't understand what I'm talking about. Small pots: disguise...Large Pots: Try and win it right there...

Looks like you lost alot of value in this hand, and played it very dangerously/sloppily. Betting the flop would be a good start.
