Re: 25-50 with a straddle

I think he might check out 2p2 once in a while, not sure though. I really wanted to fold river, but I thought the 1.5:1 ish was probably good enough to justify a call here (he might have a bunch of hands he tries to push me off a chop here). I thought he would probably CR or CF flop with AK, but maybe thats a dumb thought.
Raising the river came to mind, but he'll never fold a king here I think.

You chop with about 1/4-1/2 his range if he plays it in this manner. On the flop, q109 is right in your wheelhouse after cold calling pre.

I always question this last claim. People often say that a 2-broadway type flop hits cold-callers ranges hard, but that really depends on how tight the cold-caller is.
Considering that Strassa thinks folding 99 pre might have been best here, I would guess his range includes a lot more pocket pairs than broadway type hands.
Or not... I don't really know how people play NL live. But online (with 100 BB stacks) I definitely think solid players are way more likely on 88-99 type hands here than QJ or JTs or something.
Just saying...
