$11 ps $15,000 learning to reraise ... line check

Is this any good? Should I shove before he does? Total spew or something worth developing

we are both somewhat aggressive but more a function of cards as opposed to general tendencies and have left each other alone up til now

Not sure why I min raised there preflop ... I can tell you that is bs right off the hop

I think that the way you played the entire hand is entire BS right over the hop. Mind - what is this???? You're mini raising every [censored] step along the way here, it's terrible. Yeesh.

First, mini raising preflop is ridiculous. If a A or K hits, forget about it, your'e done. You're either WA or the hand is over. RR the pot.

On the flop, 500 is fine, though you're telegraphing that you have either AK or AA/KK. If your opponent has QQ, JJ, AJ, 1010, or is feeling adventurous in position, you're dead. Your raise to 2200 is awful and a total [censored]' spew. You should have folded to UTG+1's RR on the flop.

Thanks

I had a feeling I was an ass the entire way ... needed an honest assessment from someone else.

appreciate it

Personally, this never works out for me and I always get shoved in on like this hand. I agree to push before he does, or just fold to the flop reraise.
