curtainz???????

Villian has been EXTREMELY LAG, but even the LAGiest of players get cards sometimes. It seems you'd be on the better side of a coin flip or dominated way more than you'd be in a dominating position. Who calls, who folds?

Folds. I certainly wouldn't raise to 125 from SB (he is in SB, right?) with 66 with the intention of calling a push. Sometimes I make a raise from an earlier position and the person who reraises is LAGGY enough that I decide to call, but here BB was the only one left to act.

Laggy villain could have literally anything here. With the dead chips in the middle, I call.

Well, I agree, not the best raise. However, now that it is done. I would probably call.
1) Pot odds are decent
2) He is +EV to any high cards.
3) BB could be bullying with Ax (where x is < 6)

Once this raise was made, I think the call needs to be made. If he ran into a higher pair, well then that raise wasn't the best.

I cannot see putting 125 into the pot vs an uber-lag intending to fold to a push. This seems very bad to me.

So, since we decided to raise I have to think we are calling this push.

Having not seen the play up to this point I cannot say if I would have made the choice to raise initially or not, but we have to expect we will be playing for our stack a high percentage of the time if we raise into an uber lag in a blind confrontation.

-Mike

Assumptions: Uber lag means he will push overbet with any 2 in this position a high perentage of the time. So I expect to be + side of a coinflip ~ 80% of the time (note a portion of his bluffs fall into this category), and dominating more often than dominated.

Since the dead chips in the middle have alot to do with most responses, how would most people play a low pair like this? Complete, 3x, 125, or bait the push here? Reasons?
