NL 100 Hero Goes into Station Mode Against LAG with History

[theflyingcow]

Don't have exact stats on villian as PT is on my other computer, but I'd estimate he's about 60/25/3.5 and seems to be a level 3 thinker (i.e. thinks about what you think he might have), and from his chat, seems to have a pretty big ego too. I don't think he likes me too much and thinks he can outplay TAGs on any occasion. This hand was played against him in a previous session where my image was pretty TAGish and I decided to change gears a bit. This isn't the hand in question but feel free to comment if you'd like. At this table, MP was a total donk and SB, BB weren't so good either.

Relevant stacks:
Hero (UTG): $100.00
MP: $85.00
CO: $100.00
Button: $122.00
SB: 94.75
BB: 24.50

The call was rather quick actually. Villian showed Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]


I decided to look villian up that time because he'd been raising me a lot on scary boards and I'd been yielding to his aggression. Now to the hand in question where we're really deep: Villian has been running pretty bad on this table. He's in for like 11 buy-ins but has stacked a couple of donks and was gathering a bit of steam when this happened. He also seems to have a pretty wide calling range in RR'd pots. So far I've seen suited connectors twice and A-rag take down huge pots for him.

Relevant stacks:
Hero (SB): $641.50
BB: $200.25
UTG: $100.00
MP: $322.75
CO: $80.00
Button: $431.25

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, CO folds, <font color="red">Button raises to $5.50</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $22</font>, BB folds, UTG folds, MP folds, Button calls $16.50.

Flop ($47): K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red"> Hero bets $30</font>, Button calls $30.

Turn ($107): J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero checks, <font color="red">Button bets $72</font>, Hero calls $72.

River ($251): 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero checks, <font color="red">Button bets $204</font>, Hero calls $204.

I'd like to hear some thoughts from the 2+2 community on this one...

seriously, you made that one good read that time, OK. There's no way in hell you should be calling this. I prolly fold the turn. Just try to get it in with a hand where you actually have a good hand next time. All you have right now is a bluff catcher, and the spade draw hit as well.
