Default HU hand! OMG! What do I do?!?

Villain is LAG and managed to amass a huge pile of chips by pushing people around. Does anyone call his push?

Call the flop and take it from there. You're rarely getting called by worse hands once you raise this flop. Once the turn gets pushed you have an easy fold.

Against a lag, I couldn't get my chips in the center fast enough.

i hate calling here against almost all players -- if he's way too aggressive you'll probably get a better spot later

You wouldn't raise with TP? I think in HU play it's pretty much mandatory unless you are trapping, and I'm not trapping with a pair of 8s.

Villain's a LAG. I should read better. Your play is fine, and calling the AI is fine, too.

Although, I DO still CC this flop bet about 1/4 of the time and lay the hammer down on any non A turn.
