5/10 - Couple hands with some LAG guys...

[Ionphore]

Both hands are 9 handed, I have my opponents covered.

First hand:

I have A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif A /images/graemlins/heart.gif in EP.

I raise to 35, button calls, hes been rollercoasting around for an hour or so. Blinds fold.

Flop is: J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif J /images/graemlins/spade.gif 8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

I lead for 45, button calls.

(172) Turn is: Q /images/graemlins/club.gif

I lead for 75, he minraises to 150, I call.

(472) River is: 2 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

I check, he bets 200, I call.

Hand 2: Same guy as before, plus what appears to be his laggy friend. They both only have about 300.

I have J /images/graemlins/heart.gif 6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif in the BB. they limp, SB completes.

Flop is J /images/graemlins/spade.gif J /images/graemlins/club.gif 7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

I check, first one leads for 50, other guy calls 50, Sb folds, I call 50.

(aprox 200) Turn is: 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

I check, and its checked through.

River is: 5 /images/graemlins/club.gif

I check, first guy bets 150, second guy calls, I push, first guy folds, second guy calls.

Thoughts?

Hard to get away from AA there - Easy to read you though...

River bet in hand #1 is a suspicious number. You don't give us stack sizes...

Hand #2 looks good.

I would consider checking this flop as it might give you more +EV. This is a way ahead - way behind situation most of the time.

Anyway, just a thought to vary play once in a while. Works better in position obviously.

hand 2 looks ok.
