I have a few questions here.

1. Is the rr on the flop a good move?

2. What about my turn play, should I have bet more checked any thoughts?

On the River I put him on the a broken fd, but since this is my first hand at the table I just called to see what was going on here.

I know it is only one hand but he kept playing this way the whole rest of the time I was at the table and I didn't know how to adjust to him.

Do I treat him as a calling station because he did call down with pretty much any pair, but he did also raise rarely pre-flop. He also would take the lead in the betting occasionally, but usually he was just calling.

Do you just tighten up here and bet your monsters pre-flop?

Do you loosen up since his range is pretty wide and value bet your made hands on the flop?

Thanks in advanced.

Don't post results.

Raise pf.

You accomplish little minraising on the flop. Bet or raise more on the flop to protect your hand and gain value versus a calling station.

On the turn, if you think you may be behind, check for pot control. Since it's a calling station, you should put in a bet, and a bet that does not give him odds to catch something.

It already would have been in the middle by the river, but that bet confuses me. Normally, I'd be inclined to raise since it looks like a weak king now.
