Default 2/4 - Raise his blocking bets?

I'm going to try to actually get good at poker, so I'm posting some hands (gasp).

Villain is 25/5 after about 20 hands. It's my first time playing with him. I haven't done anything remarkable yet at the table, and I have no idea what he thinks of me.

Comments on all streets appreciated.

No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $2/$4
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $984
UTG+1: $2330.20
SamG: $886
Button: $540.20
SB: $796
BB: $393.40

Pre-flop: (6 players) SamG is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">SamG raises to $14</font>, 2 folds, BB calls.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($30, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB bets $24</font>, SamG calls.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($78, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB bets $32</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SamG raises to $120</font>, BB (pauses for a bit and) calls.

River: 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($318, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB bets $32</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SamG raises all-in $728</font>

He has about $200 behind when I shove.

I do this way to often. You wanna have a read that his thinking process is other than "me hit top pair, me is very lucky".

I dunno what games you play, but w/e villain takes this line he snap calls (with fistpump probably) any pair. I ALWAYSSSS get looked up here, and if they fold they probably had J8 or QJ. I'd rather call then push here tbh.

I don't like it much personally, but it may depend on your own image. I get snap called here all day by a ten, and possibly by a 9. What are you putting him on?

I don't think there's enough money behind for this to be any good. He called $120 on the turn, he's gonna talk himself into calling the river if he has any pair for only $200 more.

Dunno, which is probably the worst part about this hand, huh? Maybe a 9, T, or a whiffed straight draw?

Well, he thought and looked me up with 5h4h, so maybe the river raise wasn't very good, huh? Flop and turn OK, though?
