Lol at that over shove. It's safe to say that he wants to be called. Flush + the fact that the board is paired. Fold.

Standard. He overbet the flop which suggests strength, so I'd raise flop more.

EDIT: Please don't stab your cat.

Id raise pre since I dont let ppl limp their sb, if he keeps folding, keep doing it, if he calls stop doing it with junk.

id bet all streets bigger(closer to pot) since its a limped pot and you wannna get stacks in by the river, fold river, sux, thank him for letting u play perfectly

I would raise here preflop against most players, but not against a 40/8/3. However, if he's pretty straightforward then a raise here IS correct, since you'll take it down on the flop more often than not.

why not against a 40/8/3? how do his stats affect your play here?

is it because he's likely a calling station?

Yes. It's slightly too weak, imo.

Again, if he's straightforward postflop then it's definitely correct to raise.

Yeah you're right, probably is best to raise here to figure out what kind of player he is.
