Actually it sounds pretty logical.

However Cutoff is not a maniac. Ironically MP is a maniac and I can assure you that the difference at the table was crystal clear. This was a very difficult session for me and I'm reviewing all the hands. I suspect you'll get to see a few samples of the maniac before I'm done.

Cutoff is definitely a serious LAG both preflop and postflop, but he is in control of his play. He's not a good player but he is capable of making deductions, folding hands, and checking behind sometimes.

Maybe this is not the right opponent for the strategy I was suggesting, as my strategy is very opponent specific. Given his stats and your description of him being a serious lag postflop, I felt it might apply here, but since only you were there, you will have a better feel for how he plays postflop and whether or not the check/call strategy is right for this situation. Just wondering, do you know what his postflop aggression stat was?
