Villain is a 24/20, 5 AF in about a 300 hand sample. I haven't seen him pull anything out of the ordinary.

My image is loose and aggro. He probably sees me as a pretty light three bettor.

I think his range here is skewed to TT-66, small percentage bluffs, small percentage 44-22, and small percentage QQ-AA or better.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($193.80)
SB ($396)
Hero ($400)
UTG ($434)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, 8.
UTG raises to $16, 2 folds, Hero raises to $56, UTG calls $40.

Flop: ($114) J, 5, J (2 players)
Hero bets $58, UTG raises to $378, Hero calls $286 (All-In).

Turn: ($836) 2 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($836) 8 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $836

obv this is really close given your correct in what your opponent thinks of you. Idk I probably fold but I'm a nit, I feel weird about threebetting though if I do.

Christ, I'd really rather be the one shoving here than the one calling. He's UTG too ;/

seconded. If i pulled this move with 22 i'd consider it that i was tilting.

This game is just not aggressive enough to merit many 99-66 shoves.

i don't think it was to do with the aggressiveness of the games. When two loose and aggressive players are against eachother things get a lot more aggressive.

And Sauce is arguing that players just don't usually shove made marginal hands in position, regardless of aggression.

missed this post earlier

bet sizing is not all about draws..... lots of other stuff that books dont really write about, probably because its hard to describe

hmmm i always wondered about that. I was watching this aba vid and i found it hard to guess what his bet size would be, and i didn't understand why he'd make it that certain size. I just don't seem to have a good feel for it.

Yeah, ignorant post on my part, however i do like the bet size here a lot.
kind of looks like a "I have a decent hand but i really want to lay it down".
