Default 2/4 QJ

Hi guys. I haven't played full in about two months and I'm taking a break from short so that my full skills don't atrophy.

MP1 here is a LAG. 23/13/3.2 over 500 hands.

Why not bet into the raiser on the flop? When you have a hand as strong as yours in a shorthanded raised pot, it is better to be the aggressor here in my opinion, so bet the flop. Sometimes you will be able to win without even improving when you take this line.

I'd fold the river. It's high but not that high. I don't think this villain plays 99 like this, though JJ is possible -- I'd take a quick gander at river aggression before deciding one way or another, but under 2 for river agg and I fold.

::blind post::

the villian isn't that big of a LAG, so you're probably behind before the flop. I like the idea of leading out the flop here to show some aggression. A check/call line here on every street seems pretty weak IMO
