Default There are worse plays than this one right?

Situation: Villain is a gambler on donkey-tilt. His play seems almost irrelevant to his cards.

$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
6 players

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is SB Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#777777">3 folds</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BTN raises to $1.7</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $6</font>, <font color="#777777">1 fold</font>, BTN calls $4.3

Preflop was pretty standard compared to his nearly ATC-range. Raise size was to make committing easier should I hit TP or miss on a rag board.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($12.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $12.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BTN goes all-in $49.6</font>, Hero calls $37.1

Betting pot here was done for a reason: Villain would reraise all-in here with ANY pair and many bluffs and semi-bluffs, but would call here with his strongest hands, like two pair, KK or AA. This means betting pot priced me in vs a one pair hand.

I insta-called after his shove because that was the plan, and would check-fold if he just called and I didn't at least improve to a pair of aces on the turn (since he would never just call flop with JJ/QQ/22 or anything like that, he would shove).

Results follow later.
