Early in game, this guy's played every hand and has showed kind of weakish hands - am I supposed to limp with this hand rather than raise and hope to set? I guess I could check flop but I hate just checking. I find leading wins me the pot a good portion of the time if opponent isn't holding an A -- he can then put me on AK or something... I don't know.
Also, should I be betting the turn or river or is it OK to shut down after his call on the flop. His call, I'm assuming some kind of weak Ace.

Ditto to Flying_Kiwi.
The PFR is fine
Hes not folding with an A or 2
With the turn bet hes saying I got a little something.
No need in risking any more chips IMO |

| thanks - so you agree with preflop raise here - rather than limp... and a c-bet even when an ace hits? |

Most certainly
Also agree with shutting it down and calling him down on turn and river if he had bet like he did on turn
Might fold to a shove but he didnt do that.
With a guy thats playing lots of hands you want to raise or fold never limp.
He's gonna call with his crap and you get more value with a raise. |

Yes. Limping is terrible and c-betting when the ace hits is great because if they don't have an ace it'll be hard to continue - and a lot of the time they won't have an ace. |

| PS: took him out later in the tournament... and he did have A-5 os in that particular hand. He wasn't the best player ever. |

| played it fine, you should def be raising that hand most of the time, slowplaying jacks can just lead to disaster. |
