Interesting hand here. At another table, I had raised on the button with 7-9 of diamonds, and this opponent called my raise from the small blind. I've played with him a fair amount, but for some reason don't have much of a read on him. I've never really seen him do anything very impressive, so I'm guessing he's mediocre at best. Flop came 7, 5, 6 rainbow, he checked, I bet $24, he minraised, and I called. Turn was another 7, he bet about $48 or so and I called. River was a 5, he bet $150, and I raised the rest of his chips (about $300 more). He went ballistic saying he flopped a straight and folded. After then he said he would be reraising me liberally since I had raised with a 7 in my hand. A few hands later, I raised on the button with A-T, he reraised and I called. Flop came 8, 5, 2, he bet $72, I raised to $172 and he called. Turn was an 8, he checked, I went all-in, and he called with 8-9 offsuit. Then this hand happened at another table...

i think its too obvious that you are trying to get a call given the previous hands

Maybe, but he could also think I'm on tilt after bluffing off a buy-in against him.

I figured if he was willing to call a $100 raise with top pair, no kicker, then he may be willing to play sheriff here as well.
