AA vs. LAG.

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

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) converter

MP3 ($16.60)
CO ($65.80)
Button ($46.35)
SB ($43)
BB ($57.98)
UTG ($85.80)
Hero ($68.10)
UTG+2 ($64.40)
MP1 ($58.75)
MP2 ($69.45)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
1 fold, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, MP1 calls $2, 4 folds, SB (poster) calls $1.75, BB calls $1.50.

Flop: ($8) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $7, MP1 calls $7, SB folds, BB folds.

Turn: ($22) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets $15, Hero calls $15.

River: ($52) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $15

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.

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.

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.
