88 vs LAG,

[wowacedude]

Villian is 63/29 after 65 hands.
Do i slowdown to early? my thinking was after a 3-bet and flop raise, he still likes his hand and leads the turn. Was i wrong to think he could have me beat already or would cr be the most logical play for him if he had me beat?

Your line looks reasonable to me. One consideration is how LAGgy you'd seen your opponent play postflop. (Some preflop LAGs need some sort of a hand once the flop comes to put in a lot of action; others will continue firing with very little.)

Anyway, on the turn you could in fact be drawing. Some players like to checkraise a lot more than others, and also maybe UTG+1 doesn't like his hand quite enough to checkraise and risk putting 3 turn bets in. Of course, he could also be semi-bluffing (and you have a draw of your own to go with your pair), but I do think calling is reasonable on the turn and exactly what you should do on the river.

I think you played it good. I like your preflop play and your flop play. I would probably just call the turn. I don't want to be 3bet and if he has a bigger pair (doubtful) or a 9 or T then you are way behind. It looks your opponents is Very LAG. Hope you took a big pot off him.

Cheers,
Pots
