2/4 stud high - big pair vs. LAA player

[bigredlemon]

The players are the same. Seat 1 is very loose/aggressive. VPIP of 90% and aggression ratio of 7.5. He's capable of betting with a very large range of hands and will call with almost anything. Do I need to hit the gas more, or slow down?

Ok... Hand 1 looks fine.. The river is a tough spot but if he plays like every hand I'd probably pay off here too.

Hand 2 looks good if he's loose aggressive. You'd like to get the pot heads up. I think you played this hand just about perfectly.

Hand 3 looks fine except the river.. I think this is a spot where you need to fold the unimproved pair given the action. On 5th street seat 7 called a full bet with a ragged looking board so you know he wasn't on a draw, the only thing he could have is a pair of some kind. Also, even if he was stupid enough to bluff here you still have to beat seat 1 in a showdown to get the real money.. So I think you can fold the river on this hand.

Hmmm hand 1 looks awfully familiar and so does hand 3 -- I wonder if I was the opponent here.

[Roland]

Why would you check queens up on 6th in the 3rd hand?

[MRBAA]

Actually, the opponent wasn't me -- I did win a decent pot with sixes and threes the other day, though.
