Any comments?
What do you put villain on?
What do you think about the turn raise? Looking back I'm not overly pleased with it to be honest.

 actually, him being that passive does scare me a bit, but sample size is probly small.

 I can't see you being good here at all. I think two pair has you owned.

Why not just flat call his turn donk, and call a river lead if he bets, or value bet the river if he checks?

You've repped a strong hand and he's pushing into you on the river. TPTK no good here, I don't think.

I took a long time to think about it and ended up calling. He had A10. I think the fact that he is so loose pre-flop meant I decided on calling based on thinking that he probably just had a lower ace like AQ, AJ, A10, but it was close.

why did you raise the turn?

What he said ^

Just call the turn and don't inflate the pot

And I'm not saying it's bad so don't ever do that. I really want to know what the thought process was while doing it.
