Villain goes weak after flop c/r.

end of first full rotation at the table. I have raised 4 times in 6 hands (all with great cards) but I think i'm upsetting my opponents. Something smelled funky on the flop min c/r so I called to see what his turn play would be. Obviously a push I would have folded.

You likey?

Interesting hand, because of the metagame aspects involved. This guy probably thinks you're a maniac since you just sat down and started raising like mad. So this guy might be in "wait for a hand to bust you" mode, like a pocket pair or something.

For these reasons I think it might be ok. I might call the turn though (flop raise then lead into on the turn seems scary to me). The way it looks he definitely has a pocket pair from 55-TT (probably not 88, QQ would probably reraise you), and maybe a Jack. So his hand range is large enough for you to still be ahead.
