LAG combat (cold donking included)

[DeeJ]

My unfavorite hand, 55. Until recently it was my worst performer. No more, I tightened it right up. Or so I thought. I was reading the peter_rus post about small pairs being slightly profitable just as this hand came along ...

As per the subject line, Villain (UTG) is new to me but appears pretty loose. Afterwards, PT analysis put him on 35/14. Cutoff is a reasonable player who also probably doesn't respect the UTG raise. It's the flop call I'm interested in; I wanted to keep BB in (which I didn't) and get UTG to lead the [hopefully non-deuce] turn, (which he did). And the preflop too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
