Weird Spot w/ KK--->Semi-bluff all-in
 

I've been playing lag, no reads on villain. I didn't believe his limpRR PF was AA for one second. I think he was tired of me raising everyone [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I nearly reraised him PF but decided to take a flop. Spewage or good semi-bluff?

standard lag. If villain makes this move without AA he needs to find another game. You can not play this way against a good lag.

Reraise preflop.

There are a ton of hands on the flop that are going to call you. I'd even fold the flop.

Do you mean he can't play this way against me or I can't play this way against him?

If you are playing lag then re raise pf. I don't understand people who play lag with marginal hands then suddenly have a good hand and decide to play it slowly for whatever reason.

I couldn't agree more! One of the payoffs to playing LAG is people willing to call huge bets PF when you have a big hand and they have a marginal hand.

Is it right to assume that with your LAG image you will not fold out any better hands on the flop? If it is, your play is flawed. Unless he will call w/ any worse holding which I doubt (except maybe Qx Qs). Decide on the flop if he has an A or not. If you decide he does not (which is perfectly reasonable) I think more money can be made on this hand taking another line.

I'd like it much better if he could fold a better hand.
