Flop: (5 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

I don't like the preflop cool call or the flop donk.

Normally I fold this PF. If I play it, I 3 bet.
As you played it, I C/F the flop.

I don't really like the idea of folding this pre-flop against a loose villain who could possibly be on a steal. Anybody 3-bet?

I figured I would test the water with the flop bet. Check/folding seems to give it up too easily, doesn't it ?

He only has a PFR of 22. I fold this preflop. It is unlikely a steal from MP.

I don't like pf either, maybe in the BB, but I am not calling 66 in the SB, OOP vs LAG. As played, the flop donk is sketchy, but I would certainly have given it up on the turn when he called the flop.

Check/calling is always an option...often overlooked by 2+2ers. I mean...you don't really want to see a raise. You're not looking too bad against his range but certainly there are better flops. He's not folding. And he will bet if checked to anyway here. So...c/c seems pretty logical to me. c/f doesn't seem like it's giving up that much really either. I like either better than the bet to be honest.

What kind of LAG is this? There are LAGs that will cap at any given opportunity PF, or there are LAGs that just raise a lot and kind of slow down PF. I'd really hate to raise then have it capped because a lot of flops are going to be very bad for us. Calling kind of sucks because now BB will come along, and that's bad for us. If this is a LAG that will cap anything, I'd be tempted to just fold this and find a better spot.

If you call PF, I c/c this down unless the board gets scarier. Leading into him is just begging to be raised and pushed off what could be the best hand.

I like c/c Turn, c/c River. The pot is small and you don't really want to lay down on a board that coordinated against a LAG.
