My Lag defense hands
I posted these in flynn's thread also.
I have 2 interesting Lag defense hands here I figured I'd share; one hand I lost and one I won. Both were vs. huge LAG donkeys who had just lost big pots (the 1st guy was down about 10k to me b4 this point, and the 2nd just lost a pot of around 4k- not to me). Obviously the fact that I had a pair/2 pair was meaningless, they either had a set/str. or nothing. Read away

If you look at both of these hands it is very hard to put the villains on a hand other than a complete bluff (from their actions). I do not normally risk 150bb with two pair or 250bb with top pair... however in both of these situations it seemed the right play to call as i felt i was ahead a very large percentage of the time. I will make huge calls if I feel that MHIG, however in only 1 of these 2 cases was i correct, I leave it to you to guess which, I'll post the results in a few days (these were the two biggest calls i'd made in quite a few days so they seemed adequate to post in response to flynn's challenge).
