Re: a \"monster\" hand
I'm really on the fence about whether this is a call or a fold, because of the 9. If the 9 was any other card besides 7 or 8, I think I would call.
If EP2 is truly a LAG, he could be raising with any hand, not necessarily one with A2. Could be A34x or A35xss or perhaps a high hand. I wouldn't necessarily put him on A2.
When MP2 raises, I'm more likely to put him on AAxx, where xx is probably a wheel card and some other random card. Isolating the LAG with AA(wheel)x is a play thatI would expect a solid player to make.
If MP2 really does have AAxx, then you're really only playing for half the pot. But if your 9 was a wheel card you can hit a nice straight for a scoop on MP2.
If I think EP2 will pay off with some kind of crappy high/low combination, I just might take a flop with this hand.
