Villain is a very laggy 49/18/2 in 50 hands and floats lightly.

3 folds, MP2 raises to $3, 2 folds, Button calls $3, 1 fold, Hero raises to $12, MP2 calls $9, Button folds.

Hero checks, MP2 bets $10, Hero calls $10.

Not the most ideal flop. If I lead this out, this folds out most hands that beat me. And puts me in a very uncomfortable position if villain raises me. I check-call trying to keep the pot small and to re-evaluate the turn.

Turn: ($47.50) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $10, Hero calls $10.

A blank card. Again if I donk this, this gets potentially raised by draws, sets and bigger overpairs. Another ultra-tough decision. I check-call to keep the pot under control. With a silghtly large 130BB starting stack, I chose to play the flop & turn cautiously.

River: ($67.50) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $20, Hero calls $20.

Final Pot: $107.50

I'm getting 4 to 1, and felt obliged to call. Comments on this hand?

pf is good, the rest is garbage. you are playing against a laggy donk, not a nitty tag. don't be scared to get your money in w/ an overpair

You dodged a diamond on the turn. I think that would be a good time to fire hard.
