Villain is pretty laggy 24/15/9.2, AF 3.2, check-raise flop 50% but just 2 samples, 232 hands total. I have to bet my top pair here and expect to take it down most of the time. The problem is I have an agg image and he may have interpreted my bet as "let's steal this one on dry flop". I can't just call and hope no A, no K, no Q. What do I do if he bets the turn on blank? On the other hand, if I raise him on the flop I'm commited.
I know my bet was too large, I realized it as I clicked, OMG this is too big, half pot would have been much better. But as played, can I give him AA-JJ and fold 100% of the time?
