Default call or fold?

I thought I might be ahead here. Anybody find a call? Villain is yoguh12 - 24.02 17.49 3.51 AF stats. We get into a lot of confrontations. I don't remember seeing make a buff like this before though if it is a bluff - but I can't figure what hand would play like this. I didn't think he would check behind the turn with 2 pair or better.

2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $80</font>, Button calls, 2 folds.

On the flop, I should have folded. However, I'm on the turn now and have top 2 pair. I'm not worried about the guy who just moved in - my donk radar is going off for him. The SB is loloTRICKDu one of the biggest winners in the game - he had been playing pretty solid. Is this a fold or call on the turn?

in hand 1 i would expect to see the nuts fairly often i think.

i tend to find that when there's no flush draw and people put in weird action on the river they tend to have what they're representing.

yes he played hand 1 just like the nuts, checking the turn to allow you to overvalue your hand, and possibly pay him off. hand 2 is a call imo, cant imagine lolo having anything that you dont beat. and yes, my donk radar would be screaming "AK AK AK" at me as well.

Buddy, I fold hand one and call hand 2. I think you might be against Q8 in hand one - or he might be getting tricky with 65. Unless he has shown a propensity of making some weird bluffs, I can't imagine you being ahead.

In the second hand, I would imagine that you are against AK/AQ from the donk, and while lolo might have you beat, I think you are ahead of him way more often than the roughly 30% of the time that you need to be to make this call.

Hand 1 ~ I fold, the button call can be a variety of hands that beats you here.

Hand 2 ~ I call this, it's probably an ovd'ed AK/AQ or a rebluff with a FD, you're ahead most of the time here.

I agree. Yoguh plays his made hands very tricky. This line here suggests to me that he has the nuts. Fold and feel good about it.

Hand 2 is a call.

What do the people advocating a call in hand 2 suggest lolo overcalled the flop bet with? I'm not exactly familiar with how he plays sets, but I think 47 is probably also possible. He may have a lower aces up and I probably wouldn't fold this hand either since it's so likely you have the UTG player beat but I'm interested to hear peoples thoughts on this.

hand 1 he could have 9T, 9J... or he could have 77 44 56... more hand combos for the latter hands and more of a chance he plays them that way. actually he could play 55, 66 that way too, or even 33 or 22
