Villain is 56/0/.67 over 25 hands. Don't remember other stats but one important one was 'folded to flop bet = 8/10'

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool (http://poker-tools.flopturnriver.com/Hand-Converter.php) from FlopTurnRiver.com (http://www.flopturnriver.com) (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB ($12.25)
UTG ($10.10)
MP ($9.05)
CO ($16.30)
Button ($8.70)
Hero ($10.45)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
2 folds, CO calls $0.10, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.4, BB calls $0.30, CO calls $0.30.

Flop: ($1.20) 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 players)
Hero bets $0.9, BB raises to $1.8, CO folds, (1)Hero raises to $4, BB raises to $11.85, (2)Hero calls $6.05 (All-In).

I wasn't sure what to do in (1) and (2), should I have just called his min raise? I really don't think I should have but thought I'd still ask.

Also when he pushed he let the timer run down to 1 second, so it kind of seemed like he was either thinking, or trying to make it look like he's thinking (hit a set), I thought it was the latter. Should I call this agaisnt such a normally passive player?

yup i'd call here too, if he has two pair you still have a couple of outs

Toughish spot - its a good board for Aces and villian could be overvaluing a hand like AK - being as passive as he is he prolly doesn't re raise pre flop with this. Having said that, giving his passiveness, he also doesn't 4 bet with one pair. In my view you are behind and a fold would probably be smart.

Having said all that I don't fold these aces with that board - the hand most likely to crack aces is two pair, and that is not a standard two pair board. So I call and cry...

Raise more pre-flop. After the minraise, I think you have to make it something like $6. After that, you're getting better odds to call his push. As played, I call.

Once you re-raised him on the flop, you have to push now. I think you played it fine. Your pre-flop raised was good also. People who over raise pre-flop with AA, don't know how to play them.

IMO.

I dont hate this after re-raising his min raise your commited to calling his push BUT someone with a .67 agro #
you have to think you are behind here no? I mean he isnt dong this with KJ.

I think I find a fold here agianst this opponent.
Standard uNL player a get it in without a seceond thought.
