Azk is a lazy piece of [censored]

[thabadguy]

And he asked me to post this hand for him.
Live 5-10 no cap game avg stack about 3k
Azk just sits posts in blinds with 2500
Maniac makes it 75 blind, been doing it for ever.
I call, Azk calls with QTs
Flop is TJ7 2 diamonds
Azk check calls 300, i fold.
Turn 8d
azk check, 350 from maniac, azk cr's to 1k straight,
maniac thinks for a lil and calls.
river Qc azk pushes.
I didnt think pushing the river is such a good idea from azk because top 2 is def good there, i understand if he missed pushing would be obvious but because he his, i would either value bet or check.
I think i convinced him that check/value bet is decent, because he hit.
Comments?

Some background info. I just sat down and was waiting to post, villain was a crazy aggro asian guy that was raising to 75 preflop blind every hand. TBG had been isolating him for the last orbit from what I could tell but he was still running over the table. I thought this was a good spot to make a big play since I just sat down and he has no reads/instinct or whatever about what kind of player I am. He had a lot of money so if I make a big play here I might be able to get him to make a bigger mistake aftewards. Despite having a blind hand preflop, I really didn't think he could call my checkraise on the turn without the goods, when he called I was planning on moving in on any river anyway except for another diamond. I put him on a pair+ diamond type hand and definitely didn't think he was slowplaying a monster. When I hit m Q on the river I knew my two pair was good against anything he could have had, so after pushing I was thinking and talking with TBG realizing how I could have probably checked hoping he would bet. At the same time, after I check-raise he probably isn't going to bet this river after I check. I don't know. Thoughts?

LAG's aren't necessarily calling stations on the end. So it goes back to betting how much you think he would call or inducing a bluff or bluff raise. Plus pushing often just insures you win nothing when having him beat and lose the max when you are beat. So I would have either checked to hopefully garner a bet by him or would have bet only 1/2 my remaining stack.

i think you played it fine, betting the rest on the river is good, he will call with all two pair/set hands right?

the size of this pot makes a push ok.

maybe 600 is a little better, but its hard to tell without seeing the guy, and what type of LAG he really is.

Are you reading this hand properly? It looks pretty awful to me. I see no reason why Villain can't have a lone 9 here.

[Jocke_F]

how many river cards does a lone nine like, I doubt he would do anything but push after the checkraise on the turn if he has a nine

azk and badguy are saying the guy is a nut and its a clear value bet.

going with that, which is better, $1k all in, or less, like 600?

[Yeti]

Assuming we're going to bet, all-in. Pot is already nearly $3k. IMO there is basically nothing he'll call for $600 but fold for $1k here.

Considering the opponent and AZK will risk about 1100 to win almost 4k, its a decent bet.
