IAmABuggyBot ???

2 questions:
1) Do you make a play at this pot on either the flop or the turn?
2) aaammmbbb is a total fish (VP$IP 67, WtSD 55, W$SD 12 Yes 12). He had already dropped a stack showing down an 8 high flush.

Couple of other points
- I usually don't raise this type of hand from MP but I had a great seat and all the fishies were seated to my right. I though that I could steal the button with a raise.
- Also, note the line "jrs_ram: IAmGOnna kill you " in the history. A couple of hands ago I raised from the button and this guy goes on a tirade about how raising in O8 is stupid, etc. I taunt him a little, and he is now fully tiling. I was hoping that he was steaming enough to re-raise preflop.
- This table was as loose at it gets so people would be calling that raise with almost anything.
- Against anyone else I would never raise on the river because no hand could call that I bet; however, this guy may call down with an overpair.

I used to raise pre-flop with this hand also. I stopped doing it when I realized I wasn't a good enough player post-flop to be able to make the difficult decisions required to make it profitable. The only real powerhouse flops you want to see are 1) Top set without a low already enabled 2) Nut flush draw. Those flops are rare. The rest of the time, you're going to be in a tough spot trying to figure out where your pair of aces stands. So my advice is to avoid the situation altogether, although I admit better players will be able to handle the situation profitably.
