JJ vs. Aggro SH

[theBruiser500]

50/100 4 handed vs. player Maxypaxy he has 11.5k I have it covered, Risky Number LAG behind him, I'm in SB with JJ. MaxyPaxy is loose, if I reraise there is a decent chance he calls and then puts me into a tough spot post flop, though maybe it's no such a bad spot since he's a bad player. Sometimes he plays aggro, today he is playing kind of loose and slightly passive so far, but who knows what he'll do if I pop it out of position.

Flop comes 9s 6s 2c, I have no spade although I don't think it makes much of a difference either way, I check MAxy bets $800 into $1150 pot, Risky folds, play and plan? Maxy won't always make a continuation bet here but he will a lot of the time with whatever he raised preflop. He'd been playing a lot of pots preflop though not raising them all, he'd limped a lot before this hand too.

Re-raise PF could obviously be argued for, and I think probably the best here, since you can get it here since you putting a nice squeeze play on them, and can probably end it PF. The fact that he has been playing loose passive this session makes this even more attractive.

Given the call....
I think that a case could definately be made for leading the flop, a lot of bad cards can come out to scare you. Of course, this puts you in a tough spot when he raises you, since it's hard to know if he has a draw or a made hand.

Given the spot that you're in, I think I fire a potish check/raise, and see what happens. There are just too many scare cards that can come on the turn, and I would just want to end it now.

Edited to remove pointless statement.

yeah, been meaning to say this as well.

whoever posted this hand wanted the advice of the forum, so if you normally post in mid-high NL or you are a good poster from other forums, then consider yourself qualified to respond to a post.

Against bad players I make it $2500 more and call a push although I'm not too happy about it.

Yeah, I think if he's "bad" enough. I'd decide that JJ is good enough to play a big pot against him and repop preflop.

Yeti from reading your posts I could be wrong but I'd think you'd be able to get away from calling a push, no?

I'd make it ~2400 to go after his raise and I think I'd be able to get away from a push. If he calls and turn blanks that's when it gets ugly. Pot would be 6k, villain would have 8k left...

I feel like whatever line here I take is a leak for me with hands like JJ/QQ against thinking LAGs, because if I lead out I certainly don't like to be raised, and any decent-sized raise comes close to committing him.

Would anybody check the turn here?

Ugh looks like pf rr is the way to go.

I have been in lots of situations like this lately against bad players. Admittedly, they probably are a lot worse than the guy in this hand.

Anyway, from what I've seen lately and from what I've heard about this game, I am not folding to his push.
