50 NL, top pair against crazy lag
Bit of background here, I am only playing 1 table at this point and my reads are pretty damn good at this point. I am playing very taggish, but have been aggro with villan. I am also running PT gametime in the background things go as follows:
BB has a vpip of 57 over 100 hands, he is pre flop raising nearly 30% of his hands. THe pre flop raise in this hand is no surprise in fact I expected it from him. PT classifies him as a tasmanian devil using auto rate rules. MP1, is classified as X-loose and his vpip is about 79, he calls every raise pre flop once he is in the hand. BB is is opening 50% of the time from the button, subsequently I have been repopping him with any ace. He generally folds, the one time he didn't I made the nuts on the turn and stacked him (he had top pair, which he did not make until the turn, because he had called with a gutshot). BB has lost about 3 pots in the row and is tilting, he has trouble getting away from any pocket pair regardless of its relation to the board. He recently played a pot with with the horrible MP1, that went like this: Villan opens from CO with 66, MP1 (who was BB at the time) calls. Given this read, does this river call seem appropriate. Flop comes K 8 4, BB checks, CO checks, Turn comes 10, BB checks, CO 2/3 pots, BB calls RIver comes 2, BB checks, CO 2/3 pots, BB calls with 89o, CO shows 66 Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx MP ($99.53) CO ($32.65) Button ($29) SB ($46.43) BB ($111.15) Hero ($157.68) Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25. Hero calls $0.50, MP calls $0.50, [color=#666666]1 fold</font>, Button calls $0.50, SB (poster) completes, [color=#CC3333]BB raises to $2.5</font>, Hero calls $2.50, MP calls $2.50, Button folds, SB folds. Flop: ($10) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [color=#0000FF](3 players)</font> BB checks, Hero bets $9</font>, MP folds, BB calls $9.

Re: 50 NL, top pair against crazy lag
I loathe getting bet into for nearly the full pot. I'd say fold and pick a better spot.
A cheaper alternative would have been to fire a half pot bet into the turn and fold to a raise, or fold if bet into on the river afterwards. |

Re: 50 NL, top pair against crazy lag
Do you always play J9 to a raise UTG, or is it just because of BB being a lag?
After the preflop call I think you played it fine, Im not toally happy to call that river bet but would because you are probably ahead of a lot of his hands. |

[/ QUOTE ] BB will do this with any two, according to PT (which was open at the time) he was doing it 28% of the time from the BB, I already know MP1 will call (im dead serious, he has called every raise and re raise for every pot he has entered pre flop called a pre flop all in with K8o, serious buddy list material) |
