Think I left money behind here?

[r8ed]

This guy kept reraising me when I bet on several occasions and I folded each time because I usually only had a pair. So, he was pissing me off. I only showed down winners at this table and didn't play many pots so he must known I have a hand. He was very loose but seemed to play ok post flop.

Anyway, I'm wondering if I should have pushed or not. I didn't want to scare him away from giving me just a little more money. When he typed damit he had like 7 seconds left. I thought he would fold, so I quickly typed haha to try to get him to call or reraise. What I should have done is told him I had the nut flush and to fold and then pushed instead of value bet.

Some aggressive players will bet a river when the only hand that calls will beat them. Did you feel this may be one of those people? In that case I would have tried for a river check raise. It's risky but it works sometimes. He might especially bet if he didn't have the eight or the jack.

I agree with your play given that he had an eight, though I would have bet more if I decided to lead the river. The reason being that there aren't really any possible weak hands to be priced in. He either has a hand to pay you off with or he doesn't. This opponent will sometimes call an all in on the river here given your history together. It's just something to consider.
