9Ts vs LAG
 

This table is crazy. Villan is a maniac, and I have been at the table with him for a while. He will c-bet with a PSB every time, and will never bet less than the entire pot. Over 180 hands that session, he was at one point a 97 vp$ip/56 pfr%. He is aggro and willing to bet with air/pair/monster/etc.

CO is mason55. He's loosening up to get in more hands vs villan. Keep note of him when thinking about this hand. Mason is pretty tricky and likes to float (douche) and stuff like that.

Hero is down almost 2 buyins already from this high variance table (KK vs AA pf and QJs flush against a rivered boat vs maniac). I however have built my stack up and now this deep stacked hand comes up...

If he's a maniac, I'm gonna check raise 90% of the time here. The amount depends on the action in front of me.

Re: 9Ts vs LAG
 

Lead so you can 3-bet it when raised

Re: 9Ts vs LAG
 

I bet pot hoping I will be raised. 3-bet if raised.

Re: 9Ts vs LAG
 

See the problem I see with leading is villan is willing to bet but not call as much. Also, theres still mason to think about [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

well, given that additional info - I'm more inclined to checkraise

Re: 9Ts vs LAG
 

This isn't the kind of flop that a goof like Mason is going to mess around on with his floatery. I like the c/r. I really like c/c, c/r ai turn blank. But I'm a tricky, trappy weak/tight calling station, so you probably don't have that move in your arsenal. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Agreed. I think I like a c/c on the flop and c/r on the turn given that villain isn't the type that will slowdown when he doesnt meet aggression

Re: 9Ts vs LAG
 

reasonable move aj, I thought about it. Deeper stacks kindve make that harder though.
