Nine? Calling nine? (table selection, low content)

I think I found a good table tonight. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Button is a LAG 98/30/1.5 and is winning money on lucky draws, UTG+1 is LPP 70/4/.3 and is losing money.

Preflop: Hero is CO with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 3 folds, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, 2 folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, Button raises, UTG+1 calls, Hero 3-bets, Button caps, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (11.25 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+1 bets, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, UTG+1 calls, Hero caps, Button calls, UTG+1 calls.

River: (23.25 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, Button raises, UTG+1 folds, Hero 3-bets, Button caps, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 31.25 BB

I played with intention of working on my weak aggression and slightly weak pre-flop raising. A lot of players were getting caught in the middle of the action on many hands and didn't know how to lay down hands. This table was a gold mine!!

I hate you.

It's obvious Button has quads, fold the turn.

LOL. I love your sarcasm.

Is a 98% VPIP even possible? Maybe I'm an idiot, but it seems to me that since seeing a free flop from the BB isn't factored into this stat that this number would have to be under 90% after one orbit.

What if he raises from the BB every time? Does that count towards VP$IP?

I had one yesterday where gt+ showed a player had 93% (or 96%?) after about 20 hands.

The guy lucked into a couple wins then got rivered two or three times in a row (holding high card offsuit crap) and said "you guys are killin me" like he was otherwise playing sharp cards [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I couldn't stop laughing...

I ran into a couple of guys this weekend that both saw the flop 100% of the time. One of them lasted about 25 hands and then had no chips left in front of him, I don't remember the other. The next day I went looking for them, found 1 and he had dropped down to 0.05/0.10. I kept the 0.05/0.10 table open for a while without joining in, and he saw every single flop for the couple of orbits that I was watching. I couldn't believe it, first time that I've seen that.

Too make this complete, at least tell us what he was betting on?

For all interested the button was betting on an Ace high spade flush. I don't have a clue as to what the other guy was betting on.

Good question about the 98% VP$IP, the player was raising a lot as well so I am assuming this goes into the equation. I can post the stats on the player using anonymity if people are interested.
