88 on the edge.

[Jeff W]

MP2 is a tight/aggressive player--18/11/1.6 over a few k hands.

UTG+1 is a LAG. 42/15/3.1 over 50 hands.

The other cold callers are loose idiots.

I play it the same way except for the river bet. What hands will the TAG call with that you beat? The three overcards on the board are a bit scary. There are no draws on the flop. Unless the TAG was betting with a hand like A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or a middle pair like 77, you are probably in trouble.

I'd probably check/call the river given the size of the pot.

[Chubbers]

As a side question (not trying to derail the post) but do you guys always raise with middle pairs in that position? I thought these paid off more with a big pool of players and you also want to try to get in with a single bet? I normally limp here with 9's-7's. I fold 6's-2's from UTG 1 & 2. Is this bad?

[toss]

Are you betting the river as an underdog, but you feel he'll call (or fold) more than he raises?

[toss]

This raise PF is on the edge I think. Maybe a little more profitable and more variance. I also think the river bet is on the edge too.

I think I'm a favorite on the river and inducing a bluff is not right against a player like this(he will check ace high and it's unlikely he has anything worse).

[DrewOnTilt]

I gotta comment that you made a good flop raise. I need to start doing that more often, especially against LAGs. Nice and aggressive. I like it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ah I see. So he'll call with a hand like AKo often enough.

Well, he almost has to have unimproved AK or AQ. What other hands would he play this way? He would raise a set or an overpair earlier in the hand.

[toss]

TT is possible and maybe even a weakly played overpair, but you're right. His stats and postflop play means AK, AQ a lotta times here.
