Given your read of him playing weak top pairs this way, we need to give him an incentive to continue with those hands. I'd bet about $200. We can still shove for 600 into 880, but I just don't see too many hands eager to get it in right now. Best case scenario is probably AxJc or another QT that we are now beating.
This was exactly what I was thinking.

My boner tilts the table as I call.
Villain shows A8

River A


Overall, I think I'm pretty happy with my play. Lots of good feedback. I do see the value in playing the flop a little faster here, too. Not convinced one is really better than the other in this situation though.

Raising the flop narrows your range and V could decide to change gear and turn his hand into bluff catcher.

Against these type of drooler, you want V to be the aggressor, not the passive caller.

Wow tough beat. A8o wasn't even considered in my head. I did see two pair but wow. Played well though he GII bad and that's exactly what you want.
