Disaster hand - completely lost - Co-ordinated board that hits his limping range more than my betting range pre-flop. Only a few hands on him but he had jammed before post-flop to end the hand. Should I have been happy getting it all-in on the flop? As played is the River a fold. Usually I would have raised the Flop to about 14c for value and maintain control of the hand.

Raise flop is the way to go here. He'll likely continue with loads of worse hands.

He bet 1/8th pot on the flop and you just called? He could have flopped a straight with Q10, but if you're going to call a river overbet shove on the river you need to raise flop. Better to get it in with 30% equity than 0%.

Yeah raising flop is definitely better here.

Raise flop, raise bigger on turn as played.

Tough to evaluate river as you've played it cos villain looks like a bit of a donk - he could conceivably have a lot of hands here like: missed hearts, two pair, 7x+ a pair, Tx and other missed SDs - so I guess I end up calling but it's an avoidable situation if we try and get more value when we know we're ahead on the flop or turn

Raise flop to a regular-big cbet sizing. Raise any turn bet he might make. Just gii you have the virtual nuts here and there's plenty he can call with, trapping is not the way to make money against most players.

Judging by his stats too you're getting called a lot here, and I think his limp call range can only gain equity with more cards than lose it.
I made this same mistake tonight and last night and lost 2 buy ins in the process; feeling your pain over here.
