How would you play a big pair against someone who'll call with anything?
Stars 50c-$1 NHLE. My foe in the hand to follow, who has recently sat down with a $40 stack, limps in, as do a few others. Flop comes J-8-2. BB bets $3, the player in question makes it $6, BB calls. Turn is a 5, putting two clubs out. BB bets $3, opponent makes it $6, BB calls. River is a non-club 3. BB bets $25, opponent moves in for $2 more, BB calls and loses to A-4 offsuit.
So this muppet has about $80 to my $120 when this hand comes up. Muppet limps, I make it $5 with two red queens. Folded to muppet who calls.
Flop: 7-4-2, two spades. Muppet bets $1, I raise to $15, he calls.
Turn is a 6, putting two hearts out. I am none too keen on this card but I imagine I will be ahead a lot of the time. The pot is about $40 and my opponent has $60 left. He bets $1.
I set him in. What would you have done?
