AA vs. LAG.

[kongo_totte]

Villian is 50/18 after 50 hands and quite aggressive post-flop aswell. I haven't seen him to anything completely donktastic though.

Is it right to let him bet it for me on the turn, or should I just valuebet vs. the lag?

Are you planning to call a push on the end ?

I dont mind check/call, but if I check/call turn then I usually check/call river too. We dont want to scare him if he has QQ.

[kongo_totte]

I intended to fold to a river push (am I going to be flamed for this?). With his VP$IP, he could just as easila have K 2 as Q Q.

I dont think that betting 15 will stop him from pushing if he is bluffing - do you ?

It would make me *more* likely to push as a bluff.

I hate the size of your river bet. After check/calling the turn, I'd probably check/call the river. Alternatively, I bet the turn and check/call the river. Leading the river so weakly is just asking a LAG to bluffraise you.

Then, the right play should be to lead semi-weakly as I did and call a push, shouldn't it.

Actually, I had not really decided if I would call or fold to a push on the river, which of course is bad.

[jkkkk]

I lead each street with someone that is this loose, theres a good chance he will call down with Kx

Limp reraise PF? Mmmmm. Works for more often with KK though.

Or make a normal sized bet (1/2 pot or so) and call a push or check/call any bet. Against a loose player, you will certainly be good often enough to put the money in on this river. The effective stack depths at this point make it a must-showdown hand. If you both had $200 behind, the river could be more interesting.

I would lead a little more than you did for value with the intention of calling a push.

I have given up the limp-raise at the NL50, unless the table is full of very LAGGY players. Just don't see any reason for it since EP-raises often get called anyway.

Playing OOP against a bunch of people when you can trap PF calls against a LAG is less than optimal though.

I see your point, but the times I have tried limp-raising in NL50, I have put myself in alot of ugly spots. The rest of the table was pretty passive, so I could not really count on a raise if I limped.

[kongo_totte]

Anyway, he called the river and had K To and MHIG.

[swolfe]

my preference is to lead the turn and check/call the river
