2/4 - Really awkward line with top+bot

[JrJordan]

Villain is a good regular LAG running around 35/25 over 100 hands this session. He's 3-bet my button steals a few times to which I've generally folded. My image is somewhat laggy over a bunch of tables but I believe this one I've shown down winners each time.

If he was value betting this turn with AJ/AT/KQ then I felt he was good enough to fold to the stack-a-donk (or fold to a second barrel if I just bet out for AJ/AT), so I decided I might get looked up more by c/c'ing and pushing most rivers. It sucks if he has 55 or AQ/AK (which might be discounted because of the PF cold call) but I doubt I can c/f the river because he's value pushing KQ so I figured I might as well try and get a call from his free showdown hands in the process.

I think this is a great line to take every one in a while. So often you see people make posts like "When I get confused I call" and this is that kind of situation. You aren't really representing anything in particular, so the villain is going to struggle to put you on a range and will probably call lighter than you think.

I just cant think of any worse hands that call. Do you think your line looks like AJ/AT? I actually wouldn't mind a river c/c. He's going to bet all better hands and a lot of worse ones since your hand doesn't look like it could call a river bet.
