JJ in what looks like a steal (5/10)
hey all... first off, wanted to say I've been lurking here for a while and 2+2 has dramatically improved my game, for which I'm greatly appreciative. the hard work put in by the best posters here is gold... so I've resolved to start posting and commenting more. a start:
villain is lag over small sample. two questions: 1) is preflop a cap? 2) as played, is flop a raise/fold?

Easy cap preflop IMO. As played, I raise the flop and fold to a 3-bet. Turn card is just awful, but if villain just called my flop raise, I'd bet/fold the turn and check through the river. I'd also fold to a river donk.

Re: JJ in what looks like a steal (5/10)
A lag 3 betting a CO open raise will be raising superlight. Very easy cap preflop.
As played, since no cap I'd raise the flop and keep betting through the river, assuming no A falling. Blind steals play way different than regular hands. He'll be calling down light here, maybe even with AQ UI. With the A falling on the turn however, I would now expect to rarely have the best hand and fold. |

Cap preflop, and bet the flop.
If he still leads, I'm raising given the LAG read.. but probably folding to a three bet. (if we had the Jc then it'd be different) |

I am assuming you mean hes super LAGgy preflop and postflop.
Cap preflop and raise the flop. Don't put him on the K just yet. Haupt_234 |

yeah, missed the preflop cap, which I see is standard. hand plays differently thereafter.

Re: JJ in what looks like a steal (5/10)
I'm never folding a decent pair versus a lag in a blind battle, A-high is often enough to scoop the pot. But you need a read on how laggy he is. I see lags 3-betting with 22+, 78s+...

Re: JJ in what looks like a steal (5/10)
I've read the other responses, and I'm really surprised.
First, as played, we don't have any idea where we are in this hand, and we have a suspicion that the villian is LAG. I feel like this is a WA/WB situation, and I'm going to call him down, and hope that he shows me pocket 8s. If an eight shows up on the river, I'm hoping he has 9s [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] or maybe JTs. I don't know how the action is going to go, after a cap, but if bet into on the flop, I'll call it down. If If it goes check/bet/call on the flop, I think I might check behind on the turn, and make sure that my six outer gets to the river, and call any bet on the river. I think I sleep better if I get to showdown headsup with a big pair. |

You don't think he would play preflop/the flop the same way with AT, AJ, AQ, QJs, and 99? I think hero should raise because he likely has the best hand and also because the LAG won't be able to release his. Haupt_234 |

[/ QUOTE ] If he can't release a hand where he is behind, in that case raising at some point is better, but I was thinking of calling down to keep him on the hook, so that he can continue to bluff off his chips if behind, while it is the cheapest alternative if I am behind. LAG's sometimes do resteal with an A or K in their hand, and that is a real possibility here. |
