My opponent is aggro and thinking. Probably a little too loose and aggro, but meh.

So far he hasn't looked me up the prior 2 times I've raised him hard.

How is my bet sizing here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (2 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

Button (t1750)
Fnord (t1250)

Preflop: Fnord is BB with , .
Button calls t10, Fnord raises to t60, Button calls t40.

Flop: (t120) , , (2 players)
Fnord checks, Button bets t60, Fnord calls t60.

Turn: (t240) (2 players)
Fnord checks, Button bets t80, Fnord raises to t300

Oh god I'd hate folding to a shove at this point. Although I'd expect him to call more often than he shoves. His bet looks like he wants to get weak value with his pair vs your overcards, so I like the bluff idea. Stack sizes are so damn awkward though. I think your raise size is fine from leaving urself a bet on the river stand point, but if he raises and we have to fold that really really sucks, but is probably the best move.

But in other news, why'd you check the flop if you weren't planning on giving up? And I'd raise 4x pre vs most players.

Weird line. Turn c/r works much better if you cbet flop. As played I would c/c turn. Villain might start to think that his small bet induced your raise.

Calling turn is clearly +EV and a raise is pretty marginal.

Raise size seems ok though.

I don't like a raise on the turn here. When someone makes a small bet, I prefer to take the price and see the river. Because you have an inside straight to go with it, raising is not bad either, but if you had just a flush draw, just calling is better. I don't have a clear view on that one. I'll think about it.

Raise 4bb or check OOP preflop (60 is too little), I bet flop, but I get your checking. It is your style to not c bet and it is a scary flop. However, if you check, you have to fold.
The secret to success in poker is to rig the odds in your favor.

id just fold the flop. why did u call?
as played, looks like u turned a draw maybe with 6cXc or are getting tricky with like AA.
id raise more on the turn though so u know whether to call a shove, and have closer to a psb for the river.
might be an interesting decision whether to c/c or bet the river though since he can have a draw too.
