Whats my line here? Does anyone play this differently?
 

Villian is extremely loose calls any raise. Rather weak player. I have been isolating him many hands when he limps in. He has been trying to play back on me on some previous hands. Could this be played any other way?

Pretty standard! I would reraise more then 33 maybe 38 or 40.

or even push pf

Re: Whats my line here? Does anyone play this differently?
 

when villain reraises your raise I would seriously consider shoving PF. Pretty standard, I don't think you did anything wrong really.

Re: Whats my line here? Does anyone play this differently?
 

he only raises me 7 to $12. If I shove what is he calling with? Do you not feel I would be losing value?

I like this spot sometimes but I play mostly live. When people re-raise (a min raise) a lot of times it is some small or mid-range pair. You might be looking at JJ or QQ maybe if he is trying to play you. I like getting it all-in here and hoping that he calls with the smaller pair putting me on AK or AQ, something along those lines. Now if he is weak and loose as you say, I might shove against that type of player. Poker is about getting your opponent to make mistakes and shoving here would certainly be inducing him to make a mistake.

Well if he is loose, he might call this if he puts you on AK or AQ and just perhaps he is trying to play you out with JJ or QQ. I like trying to get it in here against a loose weak opponent and induce him into making a mistake. In AC I would shove this right here against a loose player. But I play mostly live. I just think you may get a call here, but I said "consider" shoving. Against a Tight player I think your raise is good. But there is a strong possbility he may call you here. Part of poker is inducing your opponent into making mistakes and if he is truly loose you may induce him here into making a big mistake. Against a tight player, raise as you did, against a loose player like the one you have a read on...Shove.
