2 hands vs. LAG NL2

Jailblazers · #1 10-09-2007, 04:28 PM

Both hands are against the same LAG. He has probably raised about 40% of hands preflop. However, I'm pretty sure that he is just doing the normal c-betting stuff against tight fish, but sort of recognizes my style of play (2p2 TAG style) and is playing me differently, so I'm not sure how I should've played these hands. He is the reason I'm still at this table though, he bets huge and stacks off light, so I'm waiting to trap him.

Raised to isolate the fish w/ position. C-bet is pretty standard I think. He seems like the kind of guy that would float or C/C w/ any two cards on the flop. I double barrel the turn and this was my plan in the first place. He folds ALOT here I think, but he min-raised and I have notes on the guy that say,"Check-called flop w/ trips, check-raised turn." Obvious fold.

Ok, shortly after that last hand. Raise to isolate the fishy again. The C-bet here being too small was a mistake and I opened myself up to a bluff. My read says he's FoS but probably too risky here to call/push. Like I said, I'm planning to trap this guy.

Got a couple of questions.

1. What would you have done on the 2nd hand? Fold seems right here.
2. Is my thought process wrong? for NL2?
