A8s against a LAG
good game, mid stakes. villian is a long time LAG who i have played with a lot under an old handle. likes to 3bet preflop with very questionable hands (ATo to UTG raiser etc) and will pound postflop with draws and/or if he smells blood.
i open A8s in LMP and he calls in the BB. his range here is pretty wide.
flop is 499 rainbow and i get check raised.
turn is a 2nd diamond, low card...perhaps a 3 or 6...
he bets, i raise (i am meh about this and think there is some merit in calling both big streets) he calls. fwiw i dont think he 3 bags anything but a 9 (or 44) here. i could be wrong, but he has played this game for a while and a raise by villian (me) here is usually at least an overpair.
river is ace, 3rd diamond and i get check raised and call.
i got pounded today in like 20 minutes of play and wasn't happy with how i played. that coupled with my ongoing rustiness = time to take a walk [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
