Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

My image at the table was as usual LAG/maniac. Therefore his turn bet makes no sense whatsoever. His hand range seems to clearly be something like 44-99. Being able to identify these bets and put pressure on your opponent can add that little extra to your winrate/image/game.

I agree with your take on the hand, however, a little info on villain might be nice.

Re: Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

Standard.

Re: Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

yes very good line taken but like someone else said stats would be nice incase he's a lag/maniac that may come over the top if likes to try and put moves on people.

Re: Picking off a turn blocking bet
 

It would be pretty suicidal to put a move on someone in this spot.

You think villain wouldn't take this line with AJ? Of course knowing your lag image it would be smarter to check/call for him but do we assume he's perceptive enough to take this line most of the time?

Careful, I've known a few opponent's who play a King this way. At least I do a lot against [censored] $200 players. Also, would you raise this much with a King?

I like to win big pots. It seems to be working out well for me so far.

Not my usual line. Works the other way. Villain probably had an image similar to yours.

Nice hand,

But I dont like the play, at least not without a very strong read or/and some outs.
