KK. Double-paired board. Opponent is a LAG.

[nepenthe]

A few notes on my main opponent here. He plays many hands and is quite aggressive with a pair and/or draw. He will damn near bet EVERY single time when checked to no matter what. Make that always if he is last to act.

Nice hand

[Garland]

My guess is you're using button's tendancies to bet if it's checked to him to knock out MP3, which you accomplished. But then you got a little surprise when button 3-bets you, and you decide to cap.

I'm going to guess you decided not to lead the river specifically because the board paired again.

I may not have capped the turn (but I'm a bit weak-tight on the expensive streets), but I think you played it pretty well.
