Is the flop raise ok? is the size of it correct? I figure i'm the preflop raiser plus i hit my hand so take control of the hand. But what do i do when he pushes? is this a draw enough times to call?

Bleagh i dont like the flop raise. I just feel like your commiting way too much with one pair. I know you want to protect your hand but i like calling this flop bet and seeing what happens.

[traz]

your flop raise is fine, but a little big. I probably would've raised to like 7ish.

Now that you've raised, don't fold to a 75 vpip player

But does the bb bet not look like he wants to draw cheaply. Should i be letting him. Or is is the fact that there is someone behind me to act that i should just call and see what he does/turn is.

out of curiosity if the there was nobody behind me is the flop raise any better?

I agree with raising a bit less on the flop...to $7 should do the trick. Though if you do that the decision is even harder.

As played we are getting about 3.5:1 odds to call. Along with some extra value for BD flushes and straights we should have enough to draw to 2-pair. 2-pair loses sometimes but that is countered by villain being an idiot and the combo draws we are flipping against.

despite the villain having idiot stats, I think it's safe to say, with an aggression factor of 1.1, the villain is doing this with a made hand and it's a big sign of strength, I'm not sure that a call is good here.

1.1 is quite aggro for someone who plays 75% of their hands. I think this is fine against a monkey.

I dont like a call or fold, but i really dont like a raise. You pretty much decided your willing to play for your stack with top pair second kicker. Maybe im way off on my thinking though.

easy raise first time around - i'd probably make it 6-7 though. I really don't know what to do once button goes all-in... pretty read-based imo.
