Default Re: weird re-raise hand (play along)

This is a very good post, I think, thanks. I thought at the time that he would have made a real raise with a real hand and that he was mostly min-raising garbage. When he called my re-raise, of course it had to occur to me that he might have a real hand, but he also could call that re-raise with any two really. Also, if he had a monster, I thought he was the type to push preflop instead of flat call. But I was pretty uncertain. In any case, I checked the turn for the reasons that you said. Now what?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 max, 6 handed) converter

The new and more aggro me bets most (or all?) of my chips on the river because it gives my opponent a chance to make a mistake as long as he doesn't have a monster. I don't know if he'll fold better hands, I don't know if he'll call with worse hands, but I'm pretty damn sure he's not putting me on A9 so I know he has to make a mistake with some certain range of hands, even if I don't know what it is. If I check and he bets, then I really have no fuxoring clue what to do, because he's probably going to take a stab at the pot with any sort of busted hand after I check twice, but I'd also expect him to bet with many hands better than mine.

btw, I'm not a fan of the turn check, unless you're giving up on the pot. Betting out here is your best chance to move your opponent off of QQ-TT, assuming he gives you some respect. As with the river bet that I proposed, it's something of a two-way bet... maybe he'll fold a better hand, maybe he'll call with a worse hand. Depends how big the L is in LAG. Also letting him take a free card when he's trailing sorta sucks.
