CO is a PT Mouse, 24% VP$IP / 6% PFR, post flop aggr 0.83. Since he limped and then called my raise, the only hands I could put him on would be JT, JQ or KQ, probably suited. I doubt he had 99 or AQ, since he raised PF with 88 and AK once before. I suppose a smaller PP is possible, but doubt he would call my 3/4 pot flop bet. It just felt like I was getting slow-played.
Betting out or check-raising the turn would pretty much get me pot commited, I think. Anyone have any other ideas? Push the flop? Pre-flop?
