    Villian is 26/17/2.75 over 200 hands. He has re-raised my raises several times in the past, so I decided it was time to call (esp. in position).

    How is my line?

    Your line is not good. I'm reraising the roof on this flop almost every time and playing for stacks here.

    If I'm just calling (which I wouldn't do very often, if at all) and he checks the turn to me I'm definitely throwing out a 3/4 pot sized bet on the turn here, again, playing for stacks.

    By just calling on the flop and checking the turn you essentially gave him two cards to catch up to you...Hope that didn't happen.

    I bet this turn because I might call his re-raise and continuation without an Ace.

    nogenius,

    Do you have any idea if villian is solid?
    Without another read, I think this is fine.

    The re-raise range in your game is wider.

    Raise flop, play for stacks.

    I either reraise the flop, or bet the turn. I don't like your line with such a vulnerable hand.

    How is his hand vulnerable HU?

    I actually don't mind the line as I can put villain on TT-KK here or even a scared AJ-AT, all of which fold to a raise or turn bet. At best villain is drawing to 2 or 3 outs and it increases the liklihood of getting called on the river if we check the turn as well. However, I would bet more on the river, at least $50.

    If I were to bet this turn, it wouldn't be that much at all, as I don't want villain to fold here. If you make it 40ish on the turn you can then put him in all in with ease on the river. But, I don't think villain calls the turn bet here enough to warrant a big bet.

    I don't like preflop so much (reraise or fold I like), but after you call preflop I think you play this fine. I like your turn check here too. No need to worry about flush draws, and you are in a situation to confidently value bet the river (and maybe get a call out of weaker aces or KK because of the passive line you took).
    IMO re-raising the flop here doesn't accomplish all that much unless you're confident that villain will re-raise AQ preflop and stack off with it. That's about the only hand that calls your flop raise that you beat.
    I'm not too worried about getting two outered by KK or QQ here by giving a free card, but that's me.

    Oh and just read the last part of OP about villain's image. Man you need to 4-pop this biatch preflop.

    Were you gonna check/fold when you missed your 6 outs on the flop? I understand Fnord's point regarding the re-raising range being tighter in these games, but I think 4-betting this is standard with the read on said villain.
