23 left, villan has called a preflop raise with 87s before. I think woo hoo I've got a big hand and raise and then c bet without putting any thought into what I was doing. Advise on all streets would be appreciated. Does anyone call the river all in?

You got 60% of your stack in the middle without seeing a showdown...baaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf.

There's something to be said for either just checking or jamming preflop. Raising some intermediate amount preflop really sucks (especially against this guy who will call off large chunks of his stack with 87s). It will force you to make that "dark tunnel" c-bet, then shut it down after he calls/raises. Of course, by then, you've put a lot of money in the middle and your A-high is probably not best.

Given your read (namely: loose, prone to call), I jam my 16 BBs in there and hope he looks me up with a worse ace.
