Raise that up preflop instead of just open limping the small blind.

I like how you played it on the flop though. You were definitely working to get the money in asap.

If I'm counting right, villain only has about a PSB left on the turn so go ahead and put him in. He closed the action last street with a call so he may be weak enough to fold. If he calls, you're not that bad off.

 Alright, unless we are up against a set/2pr/Adxd we are a slight favorite. I would actually weigh his range towards a stronger holding as he did raise PF and raised the flop. If we push we are only called by hands that have a larger equity in the pot than we do.

Therefore, I propose we just call the flop raise and not 3bet it. The turn is standard as although he bets relatively small we are behind all possible holdings now and a turn c/bomb certainly only gets called by better hands and I don't see us folding out much hands that have us beat.

I think I like a check behind. The big river AI may look like more of a bluff in case he checks it to you. If he leads out small, you minraise, if he leads big, you move in.

I'm not worried about a set here because if you bet he'll probably call with a set. If you just check behind you lose about the same amount or less if the board pairs.
Check out my self-deprecation here!

 What in the world are you talking about? We are OOP the hand which makes 3betting the flop and checking the turn a weak play. If we aren't prepared to fire at a blank turn we shouldn't be 3betting the flop.

Youy definitely need to three bet the flop & hard, well played, you're obviously a big favourite here, turns is tricky, I also wimp out sometimes & take a fairly cheap rivercard but given his flat call on flop, I thinks it right to put him nearly all in on turn & hope to get a fold , & if he calls you should still be about 30% to win the hand anyway, I think.

 You never a "big favorite" with a non pair hand against a raise in texas hold'em.

Seriously, can you really 3bet the flop OOP and then check the turn? I really don't think you can. I'll say it again, if you won't fire a blank turn like you would a gin turn then you shouldn't 3 bet the flop unless it's all-in.
