Don't have the hand history, but I thought my play was semi-interesting and perhaps donkey.

$1/$2NL cash game, it folds to me on button, I raise to $6 with T-9 off, big blind who is a mediocre player calls. Flop comes T, 7, 3 rainbow. He checks, I bet $10, he insta-raises to $26, and I go all-in for $200. Spew?

you get him to fold exactly JT, QT, KT, AT maaaybe, and maaaybe JJ and he calls with the rest of his range and folds the large part of his range you were already beating...

I'd rather wait for to raise the turn or river (or just showdown vs 66 or whatnot), since it will be more consistent with a big hand, the pot is bigger, and there'll be more info on his hand. also your draw is so weak if he calls that flop raise.
very good play for your image though...

this would be really really good in high stakes with a very terrible image for value.

It's also worth pointing out that I've seen this guy only minraise the flop when he has a big hand, so he probably doesn't have two pair or a set. Regardless, this probably wasn't worth it.
