AA against LAG who moves in on Turn

#1 12-01-2005, 01:03 AM

Villan is 40/15/4.5
I had been pretty active recently and probably had a LAG image. After the highly coordinated flop, I was probably ahead, but if I bet strongly I would fold out most pairs that he might have and get called by hands that beat me. I decided to keep the pot small and charge draws only marginally. Also, it increases the opportunity for him to bluff which seemed good for several reasons: because he's LAG, short stacked, and I didn't think I should fold to a push given his stack size. I'm not sure about this reasoning. Any advice appreciated.

I think he has you beat with Kx and either flopped two pair or turned it. Would he do this with an UI k? Prob not, I think I fold here.

Check this turn.

Call bet on end. This board lets this guy bluff like crazy. Betting the turn is alright but I probably move in. Look at this guy's aggression factore he almost never calls so he is coming over the top your small bet of a ton. Also your turn bet is going to be a deterrent to his bluffing the river.

I'm going to have to agree. Checking the turn is the worst possible decision you could make.

If you have a LAG image you should be jamming the pot to try to induce a bluff on the flop and turn or you might even get called down. The line you took might not be so bad on a highly coordinated board. You don't need to get fancy with the short stack with this board. I would have bet the pot on the flop to find out where I was in the hand.

I'm confused. If jamming the flop induces a bluff than how do find out where I am?

I would have raised to at least 5 pre-flop. Bet the pot flop/turn, getting all-in on turn is fine here. That flop was draw heavy.

i think the flop bet is too small...turn im moving all in...if he has his set or 2 pair so be it...

No turn checking on this board and against this type of player. Pot the flop and at least 3/4 the turn. At that point, theres no getting away from whatever he has.

pfr to 5, bet around 3/4 pot flop, bet around 3/4 pot again turn, call raise.
