Your river fold is awful. The rest is fine.

So you think he's got K8 here?

It's not an awful fold by any means.

Well the guy was described as a LAG, and hero is getting 11-1. I'm not expecting to be good here 50% of the time, but I am expecting to be good easily enough for the call to be >0 EV.

Are you saying you would fold here?

I dont fold this, Not sure if 10BB clases as a large pot... Probably not.

But definatly not something to throw away, I may call and some days i will fold.

Entirely dependant on my reads(Although bigger pot no read i call).

What was the result?

the only reason, really, i'd probably call this against a "slightly loose, but aggressive" player is out of curiousity.

anybody think a set here? goofy bet to me on a super blank turn card: something is wrong here. i don't see the fold as a MAJOR leak, but i see monsters a lot i guess [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Does anyone else here expect a monster? At a minimum flopped 2 pair and most likely trips or high pocket pair? Anytime I see a check/call on the flop and check/raise on the turn they had a monster on the flop and waited till the big streets to extract value. I am expecting trip 9's or similiar here and folding on the check/raise on the turn.

If this situation is more or less even money to call or fold, shouldn't we lean towards a call? Going to showdown, seeing what villian was playing and having this information for the future is +EV.

The guy is a LAG. You can't fold here to a LAG, it's just not good poker.

[/ QUOTE ]

LAG does not equal manaic.

OP said he was slightly loose and aggressive.

I never interpreted the villian as being a maniac.

Against a maniac I'm three-betting that turn every time.

No I know, I just want to make sure other readers understand. Just because someone is sLAG doesn't make them a poor player.
