Normally with bottom two pair, I'm done. However, the TAG has played... well, tight and aggressive, all night. I'm not sure that he's shown down a hand, but the few times he's played a hand he's bet the pot. Given his pre-flop raise, I think the chances that he has AA is pretty high.

When I sat down, the LAG had about $90. He's now down to 10, and on tilt. He just sucked out the previous hand going all-in pre-flop with total junk against AA and caught a straight. He's trying to give his money away.

Push or fold?

PS Yes, I normally wouldn't play this hand either. However, I'm on the button, and if I make a hand I pretty much know I'm going to get paid off by the LAG.
