Default 5/10 QQ

Villain is a smart LAG, running good at the moment. Just witnessed him take this line against another opponent at the table with top pair no kicker. I really wanted to call him down but decided I would pick another spot..anybody play this differently??

Limit: $5/$10

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (7SB, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 folds, Button calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4.5BB, 2 players)

I would def call.

You just got ran over by all kinds of hands you're still ahead of like JT, JQ, QTs etc.

Smart LAG + 2nd high pair on a drawy board HUHU = easy call

Hard one, he raises the turn with position, so this isn't as powerful as a check/raise. He could be doing this with 2nd pair or some other marginal holding so he can check the river and see a 'free' showdown. He also is a LAG, so he doesn't need a monster to make a move like this. And he could be bluffing some percentage of the time. These factors make me lean towards calling this down.
