Default Re: 66 vs Ultra LAG

As much as I agree Pokey is pretty much the best poster ever, I'm not sure I would advocate calling down all the way (though I'm not he is either just noting the required brassy balls)

My preferred approach here would be a nice juicy check raise on the flop to $17 or so. I'd often donk this flop though for c-bet size. The pre-flop call is fine so long as you acknowledge you're doing more than merely set mining and to do more than merely set mine you want to take the initiative at some point. The flop is the cheapest place to do this. Like Pokey says, the turn is too expensive if he's likely to double barrell.

If he calls, you've narrowed his range considerably, he's still unlikely to hit his overs/draw but he's longer got the "I'm LAG, I raise anything range". Anyway, you'll find him fold a lot of the time.

When I say that though, I assume everyone else folded pre or folds before you act again? If there's anyone else around fold.
