Weird hand against Good2cu

[ahnuld]

Hes playing lag. Reraises me pre a lot, but not more than anyone else. After the hand I thought river was an easy fold, but maybe im wrong. Read is he would bet most overpairs on the flop and certianly two pair and trips. Flop check represents something with a trace of showdown value to me.

if he has something with a trace of showdown value then why is he not showing it down? theres just so many hands he can have here including straights, flushes, two pairs (yes i think its possible he shoves TJ/QJ here) and given the pot odds, u have to be right an awful lot in order to make money in the long run. frankly i dont even know if he ever bluffs here.

i really agree with dan here.... good lags will often check behind in this situation when they have a mediocre hand. He'd prob cbet with really good hands and air. It doesn't seem like he'd really bluff here when he should be playing for showdown value... unless he is going aejones on us all

he could play AcKx like this too

id fold

[w33ktight]

Smells like AQ/JQ to me, I would fold.

Is pf standard? I don't call here too much.

I cant see 99 or 89 calling that turn. What about AK with A or K of flushdraw.? This seems likely.
even though his line looks weak, or like a steal, I really can't call here. Maybe this is why I am playing lower than 5-10.

why woudlnt 89/99 (or t9) call the turn? especially if they have a club in their hand. They check for pot control and to induce a bluff.... and when you induce you like to.......call!
