Re: Two missed AK hands against LAGs
He's probably just betting that because you bet really heavily pre-flop, you missed such a lousy flop. But then you go all-in and he might think that you have flopped trips with a pocket pair.
He's loose, he might be willing to gamble that way when you check it to him, but not when you show incredible strength by going all-in on him. |

Until this hand I had been very, very tight in 2 hours of play, only showing down very strong hands and only raising premium starting hands from any position. The idea here was to bluff, for the first time at this table, at a worthwhile pot and in convincing fashion. |

Re: Two missed AK hands against LAGs
"Cause I wont get paid very well if I hit. I have to get paid preflop. He'll fold to a heavy broadway board."
But you're only going to hit 1-3 times, no? And if you hit, he might shut down anyways... Personally, I'd say you're better off waiting for a decent pp if you're going to overbet. I'd rathar play more smaller pots against him with a potential to make monsters then to overbet preflop with a hand I have to drop if I miss with any significant playback. Unless I have a real monster... I prefer to limp to the maniac, let them make their standard raises, to keep my hand disguised. Or, check to the maniac, let him raise... then checkraise him a few times. |

[/ QUOTE ] Sure, 67% of the time I miss...but hes not going to hit hard enough to play me with confidence at least 50% of the time. |

Re: Two missed AK hands against LAGs
The thing about LAG/Maniacs... they don't have to hit hard... or at all. Their only strength is their nonsensical fearlessness.
