Hang to Dry

This is maybe 50ish hands since sitting down. Neither of us had played many hands (me maybe 4 out of the blinds). Villain had stolen my blinds a few times, hadn't seen much more action from him than that.

The raise was pretty quick, not quite a snap but he knew he was raising. I was fairly worried about pocket 10's here, thought about those or JJ, possibly QQ.

How worried should I have been? There was also the possibility of a straight draw, flush draw, 8s or 2s (though I thought them less likely, given the call pf).

Anyways, the reason I'm asking this is the fact that I've seen myself in these positions more lately, big hands that could be beat on the flop, and wondering if I should be adjusting my bet sizes, not being so paranoid about being dominated, or...?

wait...for people to correct me.....

this is a tight range for villain but add some bluffs i think your at least slightly ahead on an even money bet.....

i think maybe you could re raise more preflop since your outta position...although its likely heads up anyways.

well, too late to be worried at this point. You have a big hand and you don't have to call much more in relation to the pot.

Edit: Nevermind that, looked like a shove at first. You should be pretty worried, he might flip over 1010 or something like that if you're unlucky but he probably plays QQ and maybe JJ somewhat like this too, as well as AQss so I'd probably put it in here

Thanks for the replies, guys. I wasn't thrilled about putting it in in that spot but it worked out. He was playing AJs spades and no more spades hit. Any comments on his play? I'm not sure I would've raised (and not shoved) on that draw.
