Did I play this right?

Is this guy just a complete donkey that got really lucky or could I have played this better? I dont know how he went all in with middle pair but I guess it worked for him.

Min raising is no fun, make a real raise there. I would've popped it up to about 500. Other than that you played the hand fine he just sucked out on you big time.

^^^ Me too. First raise like you mean it, unless you are trying to trap. No need to give free cards. Second he obviously sucked out, nothing you can do about that.
