My image is super aggro.

Why not the flop then? The turn is good I think because it sets you up to get the rest of your stack in if he has a hand that can pay it off.

I think you played this good.

I probably raise the flop. The turn can come a scare card (like it did) and prevent you from getting all the money in so it's probably better to get as much in as possible on the flop. He's a bit short so both lines are ok.

EDIT: He's not short at all, raise the flop. Raising the flop looks more like a bluff too.

reraise preflop? He only minraised you...

build the pot preflop, then build it more on the flop..

Should have included in OP : Villain is 22/5 very passive postflop. I was worried bout AA. Guess it makes the post somewhat meaningless...

Against a preflop nit minraising you preflop what do you do with KK?

that does change things.

i think since he is that passive he wont go broke with QQ preflop, but maybe he will postflop. i like c/ring the flop really big.

genitruc,

With your image I think a flop lead is obviously the best way to go. He wont fold an overpair on the flop in a pot he reraised himself, so just lead flop, if he raises just push, if he calls your flop bet then lead turn (unless, if you know he's really aggro you can try a c/r allin on the turn).

..

Yeah this was tough I put villain squarely on AA or QQ.

This makes any move pretty much neutral ev, right?
