Given the development of the board, there is little assurance he will bet this river.

i disagree. every 30/20 is a lagtard at heart. i dont often like the sexy but i like it here

A 30/20 may LAG it up on the flop with a pair plus an Ace overcard, but when the T overcard hits, the flush fills, and the gutshot straight draw fills, a 30/20 will take a free showdown with a marginal holding.

I put the 30/20 on either a worse 8 like 89o, or a middle pair with a good kicker like A5o.

Nobody is afraid of this flush. The T is not a scary overcard. You're exaggerating the scariness of this board. Plus, lagtards aren't afraid of anything, anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The board is not crap-your-pants scary, of course, but the 30/20 doesn't exactly have a monster holding, either. Chances are his holding is extremely marginal. So if you choose to sexy, you need to count on him making an aggressive value bet with a marginal hand, where the board contains triple-threat scare cards (flush, overcard, straight). This just wont happen very often. BTW, what were the results?

This is wrong. Isn't one of the characteristics of laggy players that they DO bet a lot of marginal holdings that most players check?

Why does everyone think a 30/20/2 player is LAGgy. These are pretty close to ideal 6-max stats, IMO.
