I catch my overcard... now what?

SB is a 73/20 LAGtard. Aggression is pretty high on all streets, especially on the river.

Looks good. Unfortunately, LAGtards can catch hands too.

If he's as aggressive as Bill says, I think you have to find a raise somewhere with TPGK.

Raise turn...what's the point in waiting for the river to raise a LAG?

tolbiny · #6 04-07-2005, 03:20 PM

Why?
On this board, double why?

Because a LAG will likely continue betting on the river, so....

1) You extract 1 more bet from a bluff
2) Generally, you are less likely to be 3-bet on the river than the turn.
3) You have the option of calling the river if the board turns scary.

Why what?

Why raise?
More specifically raise on what street, and why?

Against an aggressive player, I want to get in at least 1 raise with TPGK on a non-straight, non-flush board.

I raise the river for the reasons mentioned in my other post.

Against a less aggressive opponent, I would call the entire way.
