EDIT: My image at this table is 11/8.

Okay, so I'm kinda questioning my move here and wondering if I made the right play. My reads on said player are hes relatively TAG. Him raising immediately threw a flag for PP or AK\AQ. However, obviously no way I'm laying down Kings to him.

Going to flop, he has $12 behind. He has position on me so obviously I bet. I make a pot sized bet, which I like and he cold calls. Alright, so this tells me this guy has a hand already and it isn't aces (I think he would pumped more preflop). Turn comes an Ace. So, now I'm really stuck on my read.

So, now I'm in the tank. I can't put him on AK\AQ due to his call on the flop. AJ possibly? No, I can't put him on that either. Preflop he wouldn't call the $2.75 (at least, I didn't feel this player would). The hands I can put him on to really QQ,JJ since I think he'd fold TT once the flop hits.

So, now I'm in a 50/50 on whether or not I'm ahead. If I check here, hes pushing regardless of what he holds. If I push, he is probably only calling if I'm beat. So, I suppose what I'm getting at is do I just push the flop, push preflop, or can you find a fold here on the turn? I put half of his stack in on the flop, so obviously the rest is going in now no matter what card hits.

Thing that bothers me that I didn't realize about this hand the whole way down is that when I bet that flop, its obvious hes in it for the long run if he calls. If I don't bet that flop, he either puts me all in, or checks and possibly catchs up. I can't find a reason here ever to check that flop so I've ruled that out. I can't put him on gapped suited connectors, so possible straight draw is out of there so I'm not worried about giving propper odds. Do I make a weak bet of half the pot to gauge where I am at here?

*Head spinning*

I hate OOP poker.

Posting the result here since I've already made it obvious I lost the hand.
