i think i fold the turn. that 2 does not help you. hands like 84s 64s, A4, etc are all in his range. plus 88-JJ and sets, two pair.

the only thing i can ever see you really being ahead of are A6 and K6s and a remote 76 86s.

also, a 29/18 lag is not as crazy as a 55/18 lag.

FWIW, I like limping pf

i'm not sure, i just hate open limping the CO

I think i fold the turn

Open limping the CO isn't horrible but I'd much rather raise.

Anyways, I'd be willing to go broke on the flop with a shove vs this opponent. He's only 29/18 so the only hand we're really behind is a set. He may have a combo pair/draw here or maybe just a straight donk minraise bluff with MP or BP. Calling just bloats the pot and never really slows down a villain like this. He's always putting us to the test on the turn.

given your reads i think this is just about ok, but i probably fold the turn because i'm a nit.

if you want to get it all in at some point, i actually quite like calling the flop and shoving the turn. i don't think shoving the flop gets any better hands to fold so you may as well get more value out of hands like a6 by delaying the shove.

Crappy spot. I probably just shove the flop. You have 6 outs. Calling is really awkward here with these stacks. Chances are you won't like the turn and he will bet again. If he had just a pot sized bet left you could safely call but you both still have chips behind, and you might me forced to make a more awkward push.

Shove FLOP? Yikes I don't know how I feel about that in this spot. The guy is very LAG but if you're planning to shove the flop you must bet more on the flp initially- something like 180-200 to induce a bigger c/r.

FWIW you must almost always raise preflop unless your metagame is really weird and unorthodox.

bet 100-120 pf , you wanna steal blinds, not play flop.
flop bet 150-170 . after miniraise it's often mean monstr and you have only 2 decision push or fold . It's difficult but i push here .
