Default Choose your own adventure.

Villain is a bit of a tricky LAG. He reraises preflop a decent amount with AK and big pairs, but a regular raise can be anything, and he randomly changes size but I've seen say a $5 raise with crap.

Postflop he bets a lot, but doesn't often bet big. He will also bluff three streets no problem. He generally seems to respect my raises though, except for this one time when he inexplicably called my checkraise on a 992 flop with KTo, then when I checked to him on the turn only bet like 1/6 pot and checked behind on river.

About two hands ago, I raise TT on the button, he calls in BB. Flops comes K9x rainbow, he bets I call. Turn comes a K, he bets small I call. River is something small, he bets near pot I call. He had Q high.

So, onto the hand.

reraise.

This is one of those players where if you start trying to outtrick them you can lose your stack with a hand like this when they make a strange 2 pair.

If he wants to see the flop make him pay, since you have the best hand here something like 98% of the time.

I'd make it $10. There's a good chance hero is ahead, and I'd like to get more money in as a favorite and narrow the range of hands the villain is likely to hold.

Villain is already isolated, but I understand what you're saying. In general I agree that raising here is correct, especially because this villain seems to have no problem bluff after getting raised.

I bet out here, maybe $12 - $15. I think a check might look a little obvious based on your past experience with him (with the c/r intent), and you've already defined your hand.

I call. this will probably be a hu pot anyway and I rather keep it small since I'll be oop with a hand i want to see a showdown with.

PS: but this is one of those spots where I'd like to be convinced I'm wrong :|
