Ooops I missed. Line check?

[woodguy]

Hello All,

Sorry about the format.

HIM was being really LAGGY earlier and hammered some flops and played big hands well and aggressive.

Was a bit of a calling station.

BB was sitting out, and I have protected his blinds about 8/10 times.

I made a 2 barrell bluff/semi-bluff, then hit the river.

How's my line?

Me doesn't think me gets called by a worse hand enough for this to work. I mean, maybe me does. It's real thin- thats for sure. I think the flop bet is ok, but on the turn its borderline spewing. Firing out of position with basically no info-- i dont like.

I like the flop bet, I HATE the turn bet. I'm checking to him. If he checks behind on the turn I'll check/call the river. If he bets huge on the river I may even lay it down pending reads.

I agree that its pretty thin.

You don't fire a 2nd shot against LAGs who call with pretty well any two on the flop when they have position?

Of course I do. This specific circumstance however, I don't like. The fact that he's LAG would make me less inclined to bet here- I don't think he'll be pushed off a better hand often enough (AKA a pair). I like making informed bluff/semi bluffs better than uninformed ones. It just seems here that you are bluffing with no real information, and aren't really representing anything specific.

Very read dependently, I respectfully disagree. I like to play this way against a lag vill with a flopped two pair. I get paid off to river and if vill improves at all I get allin.

Conversely, if I am sitting in villain's seat, I will call down your bets if I posses a strong hand, raise you hard on turn with nothing or vulnerable hand that I think is beating you.

[BPA234]

I believe, his failure to act (just call) on turn, is a tremendous indicator of strength.

I like a raise preflop here. I guess a flop/turn bluff is okay, but probably check/folding turn is best.

Why the hell did you check/push the river? Check/call or bet/call.

I thought I was ahead and he may call with a worse hand given my read.
