Default Re: What did I tell you about cold calling my reraises?

I'd certainly bet the flop here, just seems routine to do so. Same with any two cards. Got to expect a raise from a LAGgy player. My first inclination was to re-raise the flop, push seems only reasonable raise amount. But I'm thinking if he's the type of player to fire again, sensing that you're call on the flop was weak, I'd let him do it. Call the flop, let him bet the turn. Probably raise then as I think he'd be pot committed with a real hand (like a middle pair). Obviously you're in trouble if he's got a 6 or big pair but I don't see how you could get away from the hand if he really is a LAG.

I've got about 30 hands on him. In that time, he's been mixing it up but not going crazy. My description of him was "a bit LAGGY". He hasn't shown down a bluff or won a bunch of pots post-flop without showdown or anything.

Folding seems silly because it's so hard for him to have you beat on this board. Plus, he minraised, so folding is against everything I believe in.

Raising seems silly because he'll just put you on QQ.

So, call flop planning to call down. I check back if he checks any turn card.

"has played well in every hand he's played in."

I fold. he doesn't expect us to fold here, he c/minraised. Most people who play well don't c/mr a worse jack here for value in a reraised pot, its kinda suicide. I think he has JJ+ here all day.

he can c/mr a pot here if he thinks you missed too, which you didnt. LAGs will make this play, though LOL at his MR. He will also do this with a worse J too, especially if he puts you on AK/AQ or an under pair.

This is a fair point in an EPT sat. Minraise can mean absolutely anything.

i donno. i just dont think a lag who has played "decently" cold calls any worse J's here. the only J i can possibly seeing him having here is the same as yours.

I like this line. I see this kind of play with 66-TT a lot at the stakes I play at (small). I'd check behind on the turn if he doesn't fire back.
