The villain in question is 91/20/1... so extremely loose and even overly aggressive preflop, but becomes an extremely passive calling station post flop. I am trying to decide if I could have/should have bet more with this hand...
This particular villain vastly overvalues top pair but I have also seen him slam on the brakes if he thinks you have something as he kinda did here and he has folded to some of the tighter players at the table playing back at him hard, showing a pair a couple of times. For example I've twice seen him do that min-reraise on the flop, then fold to a 2/3 pot bet on the turn on a blank. He had also done that min reraise once with a gut shot and then called down on the turn/river (he hit 2nd pair on the turn, probably why he called the river but who knows)
So... I felt I had to bet into him because he's calling with anything, and I also didn't want to bet too much cause he has shown he will fold if you push a little too hard. Honestly the $1 bet on the turn..I was hoping to induce another raise but no such luck. Rereading this HH I wish I'd bet more, but I definitely remember at the time I was thinking "don't push him out!"
Should I have been betting more? If so how much and why? With the ace he probably would have called a bit more...with something weaker probably not. Where's the balance of getting max value vs not having him fold?
