Calling it down with bottom pair ace kicker
BB is a lag, otherwise I'd have never made the flop raise. I thought that I might be able to push CO off a better hand on the flop and I had outs if I couldn't. After the three bet I decided to call it down based on a previous hand where BB had led all the way with a six high. Am I out of my gourd here, or is this a decent play? As always, thanks for the constructive criticism.

Re: Calling it down with bottom pair ace kicker
Being the first one in, I probably would have raised or folded. You really want to hit a flush with A x suited and there weren't enough players in the pot to really justify making the attempt. A raise before the flop may help you win the pot in a later round with a less than premium hand.

Re: Calling it down with bottom pair ace kicker
I fold on the flop. Pots too small to really get involved with a weak hand and lots of ways to lose.
Getting people to play out of their normal game is how LAGs make their money. |

It's 8-1 on the call and I've got about that good of a chance to make two pair or better by the river. This guy had been showing down some real garbage. |

Re: Calling it down with bottom pair ace kicker
Ya really, fold the flop. Bottom pair, none of your suit on the board, dont fight with a LAG just because hes a LAG. Thats what he wants.

Re: Calling it down with bottom pair ace kicker
I double checked this one in SSHE and you guys are right. I should have folded the flop if not preflop. I actually took this one down, but I guess I shouldn't have played it without at least a backdoor draw. He had something truly awful though.

Re: Calling it down with bottom pair ace kicker
If he is a complete nutjob (i.e. raising litterally any two and keeping it up postflop, I run into those types on occasion), then maybe your play is fine. Against your typical lag its usually best to wait for a better spot.

I'm not positive he was a lag, he may just have been a drunken mental patient. He's UTG+2 in this hand. Now that I look at it his postflop play in this hand was solid, but I can't see any reason for a UTG+2 raise w/ 52o, assuming he didn't have a pattern map.
