5/5 foxwoods shorthanded

[mgsimpleton]

ok so villain in this hand is bad, like i just saw him very quickly and happily put 2k with his KK in vs what i thought was an obvious set. the set was 333 on a 345 board and with running 4's, he sucked out big. he since has donked off some money and now is back down to 2.5k. i have him covered. on to the hand.

6 handed. my image is aggressive and LAG, as usual... i haven't shown down any bluffs really but i'm betting and raising a lot.

villain is UTG and straddles, i limp with 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], one other limper, blinds complete, he makes it 60, i call, other limper calls. i haven't seen him be tricky preflop so this is probably a pair or big cards but who knows, he is just weird. not too aggressive but also just makes random weird plays.

flop (200): 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

villain bets 100, hero raises to 200, mp folds, villain reraises to 300, hero calls.

turn (800): 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

villain bets 200, hero raises to 600, villain thinks for maybe 15 seconds and calls.

river (2000): K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

villain shoves for 1600.

i want comments on basically every street, i know i didn't play it ABC style or whatever so yeah let's get some analysis here. and then river action and what range you put him on what is likely, etc.

Probably call the flop, I don't see what the min-raise accomplishes.

I would raise to 1.2k on the turn ... make him commit (if he has a overpair as is bad he will dump it all here).

I like the minraise if he's shown that he'll fold after being challenged on a continuation bet. Minbets and raises are useful, esp if you are playing a more laggy style.

I would call the flop. If you want to raise, I'd raise to something like $400.

As played, on the turn, I'd raise to $900 and lean towards more.

River, as weakly as he played it, it looks like he hit his flush. This seems more likely. Otherwise, he hit his set of Ks. Fold.

Folding the river seems terrible based upon the descriptions given. He took a long time to call a very small raise on the turn -- unless he was doing some bizarre acting, that's not a flush draw. And it was stated that he previously shoved in $2k "very quickly" with KK, so once again the long pause on the turn doesn't make sense. If he hit anything on the river, I actually wouldn't be surprised for it to be AK.

Of course, a bigger raise on the turn would have simplified the river action infinitely.

edit - forgot about his min-reraise on the flop. I guess that changes things slightly, especially with regards to the possibility of him actually having AK or something.
