NL25 6max mini set with a target...

[RedBarracuda]

NLJoker - $22.53 - SB
neilgs79 - $23.28 - BB
SuperHero - $29.65 - UTG
pouic821 - $24.63 - CO
wendybee - $107.19 - OTB

I have a possible target in OTB because he has a nice stack and plays every hand (I am at the table for 10-12 hands). First, I entered the table with half a stack to see and feel the dinamics and in hand 3 or 4 had a confrontation with OTB that looked like this:
SuperHero [7d] in BB with $12.89.. 3 players limp and I check..
Flop [5h][9s] and SB checks, I bet $1, Villain raises to $5.25, all fold and I push cause I have outs and to create an image or something
turn , river ... villain has [Tc] and takes pot with better kicker..
***
Now, 8 hands later I have [2d] UTG and the stacks are from the beginning of the post..
If I hit, Villain is my nr1 target and from what I have seen, he loves to call PF raises in position and can't be bullied easily of a hand post flop... a regular donk you might say.. This is why I limp UTG and everyone else limps... So, we are 5 players to a [Ah][3d] flop.. SB checks, BB checks and I check wanting to trap the villain cause he will overbet 100% of time if checked to and thinking that if someone EVEN has a str8 I have plenty of outs.. RIght.. checked to willain who fires $2 into $1.32 (some dead money from CO in it also).. SB and BB fold and I call wanting some more from him on the turn.. Turn makes my boat with .. Now I am confident that I have him beat and have to think how to double up.. I check again... He bets $3 into $5.12.......
do I push here or raise him enough that if he calls he is committed to call my shove on turn?

First off, bet the flop. Someone likely has an ace and will call with it if everyone limped into the pot. The way you played it, I would have CRed the flop to $6. On the turn, I would have probably bet about $9 and then pushed the river.

Remember, this is the same guy who called your push with QUEEN TEN on a 953 board. He is also the same guy who raised your bet to $5.25 w/ QUEEN HIGH. He's probably going to be calling you on this board if he has ANY piece of it(or raising you), and maybe even if he has no piece of it.

Get the money in as fast as possible...you have only a $5 pot there on the turn until he bets it which is tiny. He's probably not going to call a push of $24 more on the turn into a pot that small unless he is a true moron which based on that first hand he might be. Build a pot, then get the money in. I think on this hand you really suffered from FPS.

As played, I'm check raising to $10 on the turn, but I really don't like how you played it.
