Ok, so here is my thought process. I very rarely try anything like this, so it is very unusual for me. No real read on the villian other than he is not great. I am only playing two tables at the time and really concentrating on the play. Otherwise I probably fold this on the flop.

I have a theory that when people bet out of position that they are protecting something. this means that they probably dont have a strong hand. they maybe have one pair, or two pair at best, but anything stronger than that, on a board like this, *usually* they will check out of position, especially if the preflop aggressor is still to act.

On the flop I think about his range and the fact that he is betting out. I think it is a rather weakish bet. I dont put him on a 3, because he is not calling a raise with any hands with a 3. So the best i put him on is a ten, maybe JT-AT, but more likely I think is a pocket pair like 66-99. He is betting out to take the pot down there and then. So i elect to call.

The turn is not a bad card for me, but obviously not as good as a K or an A. If I am right about his range then it is a scary card for him. He bets again, but again it is a weakish bet. I choose to min raise. (This was maybe a mistake - perhaps I should have pot it) I min raised b/c to me it screams 'call me'. I want to appear strong. He calls. At this stage the one hand I am very scared off is QT, as he probably is not folding it.

The river brings 2d, great card for me. No straight draw, no flush draw. He checks. I think having bet out on the previous two streets he is weak. So I continue my aggression and put it all in. I think he is folding all hands less than a Q here, or at least he should do. And if my initial read was right then he may not even have a T, but a lower PP. However, he only has $50 behind him, and the pot is about $80, so it's $50 to call to win $180.

Am I crazy stupid and hate money or did I play it well?

well, can he fold any pair at all???
I would have raised flop if I wnated to take the pot down. If he calls you can put him ai on turn.
I really don't like the min raise on turn.
On river I don't know what you're repping. Are you shoving AQ ?

im repping AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, all of which crush his range
