Whoopie, combo draw on flop. Raise it up big!!!

Re: grrr...am I getting pushed around by this villain..?
 

with those reads i think u should be raising the flop here..

Re: grrr...am I getting pushed around by this villain..?
 

thx, he has deffo got me on the defensive it seems.

Re: grrr...am I getting pushed around by this villain..?
 

Raise flop.
As played, raise turn. You got top pair, a flush draw and an OESD.

Re: grrr...am I getting pushed around by this villain..?
 

I think I raise all over the place here, but I reaaaaly don't fold.

I mean, just think about he high end of his range. How much equity do you think you have against a set on the flop? On the turn?

Now think about how he's v. loose and v. aggressive, and the fact that you look super weak/passive here.

grr...am liking this less and less the more I think about.

Re: grrr...am I getting pushed around by this villain..?
 

Waay too passive. Bet more on the flop (around .20) and 3bet his minraise. If you just call (as you did here) then you should definitely push turn (or crai since he's aggressive). This was a great spot to get all your chips in there.

Re: grrr...am I getting pushed around by this villain..?
 

Played fine until you folded the turn. Just call, you have an ace.

Re: grrr...am I getting pushed around by this villain..?
 

3-bet him on the flop and look to get it in on the turn if you like money
