Meh... I don't like anything about this hand. At the time, I put my opponent on some kind of draw. My flop raise is weak. Anything else to think about here? Villain is 28/7

Hand #2 doesn't look like a draw to me.

You are probably right. I think it was the two 1/4 pot bets that made me think that. Weak overpairs possible? How much of his range do you think is a set here? Preflop really looks like set hunting and I probably should have been more careful.

Usually a weak made hand making a probe bet. Sometimes a monster begging to get raised. It comes down to what you think of him and where you think you're at. If you think you're good or he'll fold, then just keep raising that shit.

Draws often come out strong at some point and/or will cower and check/call to resistance. But once again, it depends on the other guy.
