NL200: Backdoor in to 2 pair in blind battle vs 2+2er
 

Villain is a taggy 2+2er. Haven't played with him in a while but he is pretty tight preflop and very aggro postflop, esp vs me it seems. Very capable of floating, making big bluffs, etc but not spewy. He prob views me as about the same.

This hand happened first, maybe one or two orbits before.

I like to shove this since a worse aces up is probably most of his range. If this is vs. the_main you'll probably just value stack yourself though (or at least I always do).

Who is villain? I have a feeling I know who it is

Whats wrong with saying who villain is? I could give a better reply if I knew who the villain was.

As played Id just call. Im not sure what he checks the turn with that raises the river, maybe a worse aces up or Axdx trying to squeak out some value? Even with this being said I dont shove river since I doubt he calls with worse and theres a chance he slowplayed a set since its a BvB battle.

Edit: 57 is a possibility as well

I think he plays slightly differently vs me than he plays vs other people so I'd rather people just replied given the generic read.

Re: NL200: Back into 2 pair in blind battle vs 2+2er
 

minraise!

Re: NL200: Backdoor in to 2 pair in blind battle vs 2+2er
 

I would just call. That may be losing value but I think he only calls a shove with a better hand.

Re: NL200: Backdoor in to 2 pair in blind battle vs 2+2er
 

Ah crap. Call, and look at his set of sixes.

Re: NL200: Back into 2 pair in blind battle vs 2+2er
 

This is a bit over my limit..

I don't think he plays a set this passively. I suspect he wants some pot control while actually thinking his hand is best (most of the time)..

I'd probably raise on the river.
