Anyone play this hand differently? villan is semi-loose semi-aggressive. does the miniraise on the river mean the nuts? I was considering pushing it in but decided to call.

hmm does he have 77 or not? i am willing to think 'no' since there is a flush draw out. i would reraise him on the river, but not all-in b/c he might be able to lay down AJ.

Bet more on the turn. If he is on a draw maybe then you are giving him odds to try and hit.. On the river I think you are ahead so I would reraise. Button alreay has $80 invested in the pot so I don't think an all in reraise is out of the question. A good player would lay anything besides a set down to that kind of raise, but I could see him calling with AJ.

You have to bet the turn bigger than you did - I would have made it around $15. It looks like he is drawing to the flush, but could have a mid-ace. On the river, I would have checked and try to let him bluff the missed draw, or value bet his ace. I would have then come over the top for a pot-sized raise. And call an all-in. He's just going to have to show me a set here, or . The stacks aren't deep enough to fold this one.
