Flopped the Nuts. How do I Get All the Money?

No reads. This is my 3rd hand at this table.

How's my bet sizing here? Anything I could have done to squeeze out a little more money? Villain took a LONG time before he called my last reraise on the flop.

I think your last raise on the flop is a pretty easy push. Also rr to at least $11 first time around.

first raise make it $10 makes your last raise on the flop an easy push

Agreed, the 3bet raise on the flop gives villain exactly 3:1 to draw to whatever. The raise needs to be more on the flop and I also agree that the reraise from villain = shove for you, he has expressed strength, why not put your money in when you have the nuts.

Just remember this ain't fixed limit lol - quit minraising dood. I think your chances here are to call and CR ai turn and ship it (This probably would get it in like 80% of the time) or push the flop. This line seems rather horrible. First weak reraise and then a minraise?

When ever you feel like an urge to minraise... well i've said it before, but it involves jumping from the balcony with your hand in your ****. Just hit your head to the wall until you figure out something else to do => that's usually more correct than minraising.
