BB is the LAG, very bad. MP is tight passive, weakie.

Normally someone says here, "are you sure the LAG isn't sitting UTG this time?" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Anyhow given your reads it looks good to me. MP should be folding all kinds of mid pairs here a fair chunk of the time.

I don't know about that for one more bet... i don't think your raise really gets many better hands to fold here. I'm in favor of justing showing it down if you think you are good often enough, but i really don't think he folds anything but a complete bluff here most of the time.

gg you are misreading. I think the MP will do the folding. The raise was aimed at knocking him off a hand. He has to call 2 cold and still has the original bettor yet to act.

BB will call here for 1 bet but we are betting that he was bluffing at the pot.
