His preflop calling range has a ton of pairs in it. I call, and plan on stacking any non-A non-K turn. Shoving might fold out 99-JJ.

Yeah, I think you're right, and I played this too fast. Luckily, he made a very bad decision to stay in the hand.

ProWannabe10: raises $5.50 to $8.50
azrikam: raises $16.95 to $25.45 and is all-in
ProWannabe10: calls $13.65 and is all-in
Uncalled bet ($3.30) returned to azrikam
*** TURN *** [7s 8c 7d] [2h]
*** RIVER *** [7s 8c 7d 2h] [Ks]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
ProWannabe10: shows [10s] [10c] (two pair, Tens and Sevens)
azrikam: shows [Qh] [Qd] (two pair, Queens and Sevens)
azrikam collected $47.20 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***

I'm not sure it's wrong to play this one fast. There's also a ton of cards that can come on the turn and kill your action. I kind of like the play you played it, tbh.

Well, since I shifted to Pot Limit, my VP$IP has dropped to 15%, and I'm playing pretty fast post-flop. I think the pot limit constraint does something to people's brains, and they think they can call any raise without getting in trouble. :)

Results too soon :p, but yeah, I don't mind stacking the flop. Just often these unknowns think the only thing people can shove the flop with on these boards is a 7.
