Default Re: weird re-raise hand (play along)

note:

Honestly, I would have considered a reraise on the river.

Here's my thoughts: (and you can contradict me if this player is different)... I find these kind of players (these lags who minraise with crap) bet very strongly when they have a real hand. I rarely see these type make small value bets. They minraise preflop and go nuts when they hit. If he had a flush, he wouldn't bet 1/4 pot. (granted in this case, he would have likely folded anyways)

On another note, I still stand by my earlier line to bet the turn. You reraised him preflop. He's much more likely to give you credit for a king and would likely fold a midpair. I still say against a lag, you can't show weakness. I'm actually surprised he didn't the turn.

I wouldn't give this advice against all player... but against a LAG who minraises with these kinds of cards, I think you're going to be right more often then not and I think it would be positive EV.

But I still say don't make the play you did preflop on the button. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
