Am I crazy? I just folded top pair in a huge pot...

Button is a bit TAGgish, but is often very weak after raising preflop. I think he's playing a very fit-or-fold sort of game. Of four hands where he has raised preflop, only followed up with a flop bet on one of them, and folded before seeing a showdown for three of them (with flops like QJx, Axx, and 432.

Button is a loose and aggressive, but he only stands out as a true LAG when it's heads up. He 3-bet the flop and turn heads up with only a flush draw and bluffed the river (didn't even have overcards). If I had more time, I would post the little battles he had with me (I was playing my A+ hand-reading game against him).

The other guy is a super loose-passive donk. He has called a river bet and failed to beat bottom pair at showdown more than once.

I've got to run off to a meeting, so I can't sit around and tend this thread. I think the play on every postflop street is pretty interesting and not necessarily correct.
