Default Anything wrong with this?

$2/$4 NL...6 max

Cutoff min raises to $8. He does this about every 4th hand. I reraised to $24 in the BB with AQ and he calls. Last time I reraised him, he folded.

I have a full $400 stack and he has me covered.

Pot $50. Flop A82. I bet $35 and he calls.
Pot $120. Turn 3 putting 2 clubs out there. I check, he bets $40 and I check raise to $160.

Any problem there? If he calls, whats your plan for the river?

Any hand ranges for villain? If you think he is calling you with a weaker ace, ALL IN. I really dont think there is any other option.

Decent line. If he calls, value bet this river.

I like this line, but I would raise just a little less than you chose to.

If he calls, I'm obviously pushing the river. Hand is fine, but I would make the preflop raise bigger.

Are you pushing the river even if the back door flush hits?
What if its a J or Ten?

Yeah, I'm probably pushing no matter what because otherwise I'm in a guessing game and I'm too short to use a blocking bet and if I check I'm not laying down to this donkey.

Reraise more preflop.

I've got mixed feelings about pushing and value betting this river. Usually when someone calls a big checkraise on the turn it means your one pair is beat or they have a good draw. Which one this is i dont know?

With his draw your paying him off by pushing and he can easily fold if he doesnt hit. This guy is an idiot if hes still calling you down with a weak ace. The only benefit i can see from pushing that river would to be to represent a better hand and make him laydown a weak 2pr or sometihng.

I agree the preflop reraise couldve been a bit more. I just made the switch from $1/$2 to $2/$4 and I didnt think long enough about the correct amount. I think $32 is better.

So, he called the turn check raise. The river was a 3rd club. I pushed and he called with 86 of clubs. UGH!

With a guy who min raises preflop 25% of his hands, theres no way to put him on a hand. He can have any ace, any pair, any broadway cards, any suited cards.

I bet the flop like I would any flop after reraising. I checked the turn so he would think i didnt have an ace and was just making a continuation bet.

I knew he would bet the turn no matter what he had so I wanted to make the big check raise. It just so happened that he had about the only hand (other than a set) that he could call that with I guess.
