Stats on villain: 63/10/2.4
Given Laggishness, play more cautiously because of 4 to a straight on board? I was so confused by this hand. I'm just wondering how others play it.
Initially, the limp-reraise led me to believe AA/KK, that's why I just called third flop bet and popped the turn... Knowing now that villain's LRR range might very well include a 9, I don't know if I could play it this way again... or could I?
Who bets this river? The check-raise almost made me puke. I thought he played me like a fiddle.
