Small pairs against lag

[SkittleBrau]

Villain in both cases is LAG (55/20/5), but weirdly so. He seems to fold a very long string of hands preflop then suddenly wake up and cap w/ trash hand after hand. Similarly, he'll just fold alot post flop for a while then cap w/ unimproved small offsuit cards. The rest of the table is letting me isolate for the most part.

Hand 1: WA/WB, right? Or did I miss a raise somewhere?

Hand 2: This followed closely after hand 1. Does that make isolating w/ 66 too thin?

Cap the turn? Or call planning to raise a non-spade river? (Neither of which I actually did, as you can see.. anyone advocate this wuss-out?)

[wackjob]

Cap the turn in hand2.

[gildwulf]

Hand 1 looks good...if he is as LAG as you say though, you missed a few bets in Hand 2. He's capping with trash and you have a set...there's no need to slowplay a LAG, just cap flop, cap turn, cap river.

[dantheman_05]

66 is a little weak, but not a crime

cap the turn with your set and the river with a nonspade non str8 card.

the 99 hand looked good to me

[imported_leader]

I dont' like the flop call in hand 2 vs a LAG. He wants to put money into the put. Oblige him. And I wouldn't think of slowing down til the river.

[SkittleBrau]

Most of the time I would just raise the flop, but this guy was really flaky (giving up randomly on the flop) and I didn't want him to go away.

[trentcroad]

Hand 1 I like, Hand 2 Id get as many bets in as I could.
