Default ($16) More fun with AK

Typical good LAGgy big stack.

Edit: want to make it clear in the OP that he was playing LAG well, not playing LAG like a "oh my action? RAISE"

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) converter

UTG (t1220)
MP1 (t3355)
MP2 (t1450)
CO (t2075)
Hero (t1355)
SB (t2295)
BB (t1750)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t50, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t150.

Flop: (t475) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (t475) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 checks, Hero checks.

River: (t475) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t50</font>, Hero calls t50.

Final Pot: t575

Raise on the end? He is paying you off with any A, and a lot of weaker pairs.

I agree. Looks like a Post Oak to me. I raise.

Wow, I reraise here every time, he will more often than not call another 150 or perhaps 200 with a pair, unless he has aces up he probably flat calls with two pair and if he reraises, which will be rarely, you can let it go without too much thought, if he's that loose you think he will regularly reraise on a bluff then you do the same and induce that bluff.

His bet could be a milking bet but more likely it's trying to get a cheap showdown with 2nd pair or something that could well call a small raise.

Don't play on Stars so maybe it's much different there.

If he had an ace, wouldn't he bet more?

Plus he is LAG, if he had a weaker pair wouldn't he bet? Passivity from this player was extremely unusual.

First one, I guess you're right. But just because someone is laggy doesn't mean they're not going to bet more with an ace. More than anything else, I think this guy's got an ace. That, or he's bluffing. The chance he has you beat should be small.

Raise on the end.

This is the river, if he's bluffing raising is pointless. I would think the amount I lose when he's slowplaying doesn't make up for the times I get paid off by an ace. Plus my stack size can't really handle raising and folding to a 3bet.

Sometimes I bet with a whiffed AK, in this case I didn't against a big stack with these stack sizes, where I can't afford to lose the chips, and where he both is capable of bluff c/ring me AND is capable of checking top pair.
