88 flop decision

[bnorthro]

The raiser is about 36/32/6 over 22 hands. BB in this hand is a psycho who really likes check/raising gutshots 69/37/1.7 over 150 hands. I haven't noticed much about the PFRers.

I think this is kind of a common situation. You've got a mid PP that's probably good enough to stay around, but maybe not raise and open yourself up to a 3 bet from 2 aggro players. The draw obviously makes this easier, but even without it, everyone still call this down? The way I see it, this guy is raising a ton of hands that don't have a K, but he's probably aggressive enough to 3-bet me with an A.

Final Pot: 9.50 BB

I guess a river C/R has some merit, but there's no gaurantee it's going to get bet and a K is going to call.

Sorry for making a bunch of hand posts today.

Thanks for the input.
