Is a "typical" shorter-stacked player getting tilted by my aggression enough (22-66, some other random float/odd-spew type hands) that this is a call? Or do I let it go and move on? He shoved Turn pretty quick if that matters.
I dunno if you're playing a million tables or what, but on the flop, if you have time, you should definitely be thinking about what you might do if he doesn't fold. Generally, with your hand on this board I think you'll likely be thinking that you should give up if he calls - if you think about it before it happens.
A lot of hands that beat you make sense here and while calling the turn with AK or 66 and then shoving the turn is possible, it's not something you should expect w/o a read. Most people who are just calling BS on your cbet raise the flop.
He probably wouldn't have had a hand that made a draw, your eights block most of the draws, and what's left of those draws may love the turn. So - I wouldn't put him on a draw on the turn.
I'd fold and wouldn't sweat it.
I think preflop and flop are fine, but there are certainly arguments for playing them differently.
