trips against an idiot. easy push, if he beats us - oh well, there's always next time against this type of villain.

Seeing as he's very aggro, I would have reraised on the flop hoping to get as much value as possible out of him and called any push. You were never folding this given how he plays so it seems standard enough.

Good point on the flop raise. Thanks. My thought process at the time was to make him think I was on a flush draw by just calling. His betting pattern when I assume he thinks people are on flush draws is to push any non-suited turn.

Edit: after writing that down I just realized he was value betting the turn with the half pot bet, normally with the regular betting pattern he would bet 1.5 to 2 times the pot.
