I like it disguises your hand because if you called on the flop it becomes more likely your on a draw, but the raise makes him question whether you already ahead of him so he checks the turn and allows you to see a free card.

The limp is what I'm most concerned about. WTF?

Postflop is standard.

The guy with the green note raises every hand.

If he's raising every hand I don't think you really need the reraise on the flop, you didn't have anything yet, and although you could build the pot a little for when/if you hit your draw, its probably not a good idea to bet into him without a hand.

Edit: Just looked at the rest of the hand, I had him on a pair of queens, but his check on the turn makes sense with that too.

I think the raise was a good move. I however would have bet the turn... but that's just me.

true man.. if you raise .. you might as well continue .. it's limit anyways..
and he's just check calling you.(even though he raised preflop). he might reraise you but your still gonna call it.. but it's a good move.. makes him think.. but risky though :I
