    Default was i too aggressive in this hand

    villain had been playing virtually every hand and raising roughly a third of hands pre flop.I'd been playing too tight roughly 25% in SB 25% in BB and about 20% overall from all positions at that stage mainly due to awful cards in late positions. Also any comments on the bet sizing would be appreciated.
    edit: ALso on the turn should I have called his raise and waited for the river card before going all in , reraised like i did and improved to the full house after had gone all in or folded to his raise.

    You played it fine. Getting it AI on the turn here is perfect.

    if you're going to iso raise, make it a bit bigger. .09-.10 is good here. same with the flop, if you raise (which i like), make it bigger because this is such a super draw heavy board. turn is ok because the only 2 hands i really see that are ahead here are QJ/66, and with a drawy board were ahead enough to jam it in.

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    I'd raise to .1 pre, and fold is not mistake imo. Flop I would also raise closer to pot. The donk usually means either super-weak like bottom pair or less, or a flush draw.

    What is your plan if the turn comes a

    K
    2
    3

    and he checks?
    The strengh of a hero is defined by the weakness of his villains.

    I raised the flop because as Bode has said his .04 seemed way too weak and I'd seen him regularly putting in a lowish bet and taking the pot down when the others folded so I read it that he had missed the flop and possibly had an A or K or low pocket pair. A set or flush draww I thought he would have bet bigger.
    Self criticising , pre flop my raise was too low and I didn't add anything for the limper so 0.08 or 0.1 would have been better.
    My main reason for posting though was the turn play.He had been playing virtually every hand so I had his range extremely wide, and when he raised my bet I have to admit it was almost an instant raise that I put in thinking that he was trying to bluff me off my hand and steal the pot. The fact that he had check raised me didn't set alarm bells off in my head which it should have done, and if i had thought about his raise more , I might then have factored in that he could possibly have made a straight.Hence my original question about whether i should have folded or called his raise on the turn.If he had the straight i was beaten and left with 4 outs on the river to beat him.
    Once the cards were turned over , he had KT so that the J on the turn had made his gutshot and explained his betting .As such my full house on the turn was a lucky card ,but hopefully it has taught me to take time and really consider the options when I'm check raised in the future.
    knowing what his cards were , really put the question into my mind whether i played it right and got lucky,played it badly and got lucky or whether i just messed up the turn .
