Villain ($75), SB
Hero ($125), BB

Villain is just a disgrace. His 4-bet with 910o while short earlier giving me 2:1 was hillarious . He has done other things reprehensible to the game of poker.

Villain raises to $2, Hero with Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] raises to 6, Villain calls.

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero checks, Villain bets $1, Hero raises to $13, Villain calls.

Turn: 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hero checks, Villain checks.

Hero checks, Villain bets $35, Hero _____

I probably re-raise to $8 pre-flop and maybe even more against a loose caller . On the flop , I probably make a big bet of close to the pot size . If called , I would continue to lead out on the turn until he convinces me that he has a king .

Can you beat about one-third of his hands ? You lose if he has a 7 or a king but you may win if he had an open ended straight draw (10-j) or a flush draw . Since the turn was checked (good chance he doesn't have a k) , I probably lean towards a call against this particular opponent . I can't fault you either way .
