How much value did I miss?

SB is a TAG. I've raised like 4 of the last 5 pots; taken 2 down without a call and 2 down with a CB.

Edit: we both have about $200 stacks.

oops, totally misread the turn action, doh.

Turn bet looks a little like a flush draw throwing out a blocking bet. I wouldn't mind a raise here, but betting the river is silly. I don't think he has much that you beat that he will call a bet with.

Preflop, I'd make it $10 instead of $8, but either way is fine.

On the flop, if I were playing as aggressively as you sound like you were (raising 4 of the last 5 pots and all), I'd have made the bet $15 instead of $20 -- you want to disguise your c-bets, and you don't want your c-bets to have to be full-pot, since you'll need all the pot odds you can get.

Your turn play was weak: that's the time to raise and take the pot away. I'd make it $80ish to go, and expect him to fold anything weaker than a 9. That's fine -- I'd really rather not see any more cards, thank you very much.

On the river, checking behind is correct. If you bet, he's not going to call with anything that doesn't beat you.
