Personally I make preflop bigger, to not give him odds to setmine. It's a 3betpot, and I got a hand I'm stacking off with if I hit K or A probably, so set mining is a danger.

I just 3bet-shove this on flop. I mean, pot is like 16 at this point, you got like 14 left behind. Just get it in while yer ahead.

As with everything, it depends a lot on situation. You re-raised a standard raise, as you should. But how often do you that that; i.e. how much respect should you get for that? I'll assume not too often and a preflop reraise has a significant amount of respect.

I wouldn't be scared of the flush here. Because of your preflop re-raise I would assume his call means he actually has something. I doubt he would call with just J9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. If he does have two clubs they have to be AK, maybe AQ. I'd put him on a pair, probably in the range 9-Q.

His $8 (min check-raise) is probably just a tester for what he thinks may be an automatic continuation bet on your part.

I think you played preflop well. Your moment of decision is his $8 bet on the flop. Calling probably isn't the right play. If you put him on 99, QQ or a flush draw you should have reraised all-in here.

The min raise probably means he is just trying to test you as cheaply as possible or he has a monster and is trapping. The only monster he could have is AK[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], in which case you're 70% to split. If he had AA or 77 then he wouldn't min-raise and let you in for a club draw so cheap. He might think his AQ is a monster, in which case you got him.

There are too many turn cards that would scare me. Any club or 9-Q and I'll think he just sucked out on me. If I think I have the best hand and the next card will probably scare me, it is time to push.

So coming over the top with an all in is the best play on the flop? I find most people do this with a weaker ace and bluffs. With the bluffs i want him to continue going which is why I just called his min raise. And if he has clubs he has clubs right? Would you fold the turn?

push over the the top on the flop because there is no point to let him see the next card for free when you have a strong hand such as yours. also by calling is reraise you put the villain in control of hand by pushing off your aggressiveness.
