[ QUOTE ]
I would assume an aggressive player would want to make sure he raises that.
[/ QUOTE ]I would too. Against most players a limp/raise means aces 90% of the time, but this guy had no expectation of being raised (this was a table full of nits). If he has aces here, well then thems the breaks.
I just didn't want to take away his rope I wanted HIM to be the one to get it all in.
Anyway, because I kind of suck at poker this is what I did:

Yeah that flop bet kind of sucks- I felt like pushing was an overbet and this stupid bet might look like one last gasp at buying the pot (leaving $11 behind is expert). I spent forever trying to find a bet size, finally I just typed in $25 because time was running out and I couldn't find anything I liked. Truth be told, what I did probably didn't matter, but next time I'll just shove PF or on the flop. I still think he could have gotten away from 99 PF if I 4bet him.
Anyway, exhibit 1 in how to over-think a hand. At least I had a good result (with a small heart attack on the river, obv).
