Default Re: 50 NL: Playing back against LAG button raises

[ QUOTE ]
I would like feedback on this hand, because I think I misplayed it in that I didnt put him on a hand range that I was confident on, I think im either WA/WB here. Is the CR on the flop fine, given that it was almost certain that he would bet into me? Is a CRAI better on the turn? Do we call a shove?

I think you played the hand correctly. Against someone who isn't 60/50 but instead like 25/5 or 22/7, or even 60/10 I'd say a fold preflop might be in order. 60/10 you say...you must be crazy. No I'm not. Even if a player has a VP$IP of 60 but raises only 10% of his hands (pairs 66+, AK, AQ, suited aces, KQs, QJs), he is much tighter than a 60/50. That being said, a fold here is clearly not the correct. By the way, villain's range is any pair, any two suited cards, any ace, any two broadway, K5o+ (and that's only 50% of the hands, he plays 60%!!!). In short, you have 57% equity preflop.

On the flop, if he is overly aggressive (which he appears to be), let him do the betting for you. The only hands you're behind on the flop are 33, Q3, and AQ. He plays 60% of his hands so even if just one Queen fell on the flop you'd still be ahead of his range and a 4:1 favorite (Qh 3d 7d flop for example). So the check-raise on the flop is perfect against this guy. Against villain's range, with this flop, you are now have 92% equity.

I don't like the CRAI on the turn. You want to get it all in anyway, so just shove the turn as you did. There are so few hands which beat you, that shoving the turn is mandatory (especially a nondiamond turn incase he is drawing). Villain is probably going to call you anyway if he's on a diamond draw, so get it all in immediately. It sounds like nobody has really played back at this guy so why wouldn't he keep trying to bully the table? As played, nice hand.

ps...I posted my response without seeing your post in which you said villain flipped over AQ. I don't care if villain had AQ or not. Based on villain's range, your hand preflop, and the flop that came, you played the entire hand correctly. If the King didn't spike on the river, you would have been saying, "[censored] LAGtard, of course he picks up a hand and we both flop a monster and he still beats me!?"
