PF raise is larger than is necessary. It makes playing post-flop awkward.

If you raise the flop, just go all-in (and I think that's a perfectly reasonable line). Raising to 300 serves no purpose.

I guess the turn call is sort of ok as played... you're getting 15:1 on it and he isn't folding if you push at this point b/c now the pot is huge now.

River... well, you need to win 1 in 8 times to profit... do you think you are?

PFR to 260 is probably best here. Hard to say what would have happened from there. Also, others may disagree, but sometimes I may just open shove here.

I raise PF 250-300. If you reraise the flop and he calls, I shut down after that. Or you can go all in as wiggs said...
