50NL - trying to learn stack aggression

Villain is pretty straight up player, 16/10 ~50 hands. How bad is this?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($49.25)
UTG ($47.75)
Hero ($60.75)
Button ($43.50)
SB ($13.75)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Ahttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...es/diamond.gif, Khttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...es/diamond.gif.
UTG raises to $2, Hero calls $2, 2 folds, BB calls $1.50.

Flop: ($6.25) 8http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...es/diamond.gif, Jhttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...iles/heart.gif, 7http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...miles/club.gif (3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets $3, Hero calls $3, BB folds.

Turn: ($12.25) Qhttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...es/diamond.gif (2 players)
UTG bets $8, Hero raises to $55.75

I thought 16/10 was tight enough I didn't have to raise pre-flop
That's me floating the flop :cool:

I like it with your outs.

When I try this stuff I usually get called by the nuts though.

You don't have to shove, $25 on turn with hammer threat on river will tell him clearly that he's playing for stacks.

When you shove, what do you think you're representing exactly besides a flush draw?

I call here because opp is repping a strong hand. I know the line is teh suck but I think a push is a leak.

it'll be tougher to play against you if you just raise this turn and push any river imo

When I did it he only had $35 left in his stack (cuz 8 was on the table) so I thought it was only a slight overbet. Thing is, even if he had been a $30 shorty and my push had been an appropriately sized raise, what am I representing? This is what I'm pondering. I wouldn't play a set/straight/AJ this way, maybe I should re-consider. AQ, JQ def but that's only two hands. :(

I have to stop sucking at picking HH first. Maybe I'm just nth leveling the 100NLers so they won't know what hit them when I move up :shifty:
