6 seated ring game 1c/2c

in the BB dealt Ah7d have about $2.65

folded to small blind who raises to 8c and has about $5

flop comes 3d 7c 8c

he raise 25c and I called

turn 2d

he raised 50c Iconsidered him a very loose player who was trying to bully with his larger stack I considered a mini re-raise to test his reaction but decided to shove to force him to fold any drawing hands. he instantly called

river 10c

he showed Ac Qc

felt his call was wrong but I realised that I had taken a big pot off him earlier with pocket kings and he was gunnin for me, was Iright to re-raise with second top pair?

ye you made the right play with the raise to find out where you are. Just dont re raise all in to find that out since you aren't doing yourself any favours that way. Just raise a good amount but leave yourself enoguh to fold

At these 1/2 cent games people will be in the hand with any two cards.Personally I find it very hard to play at these level for that reason.Also they will call/raise to the end with a 4 flush(or pretty much anything)against any size bets(having no idea about any kind of odds)and if they lose,oh well.

Players do stupid sh*t when the most they could lose is the price of a Big Mac.I have no real advice on this hand seeing as I find it hard to beat these.One suggestion is to play 9max tables and play only premium starting hands.Also try to limp in in late position with small pairs or soooted connecters.If you hit the right hand,you can stack these fools.

I would have done the same, since he raised, he either tried to steal or had a premium hand hopefully AK.

Fold pre-flop, fold flop, fold turn.

I guess the answer is NO.

edit: just realised it's blind vs blind. I might in that case call pre-flop (although folding is probably better), call the flop sometimes - probably not in this case because he made such a big bet, and it's not really worth playing a very big pot with such a weak hand, and fold the turn, because you don't beat many of the hands he's betting like this with.
