AA against a lagtag, live 6/12

brazilio · #1 09-27-2005, 01:59 PM

Guy seemed somewhat competent. In me one previous hand he'd folded the turn when I flopped the nut straight with AQ and he checkraised his two-pair and folded to the 3-bet in a large pot. That AQ hand was my first hand ever at a casino, and I was so goddamn scared I knocked over half my stacks trying to grab them. I also gave away that I had a monster in that AQ hand. He missed RIVER value bets a lot.

Hero has A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img],A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villain raises in UTG+1, all the rest fold, Hero 3-bets on the Button, blinds fold.

HU to the flop, K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7.5SB

Villain bets, Hero raises, Villain calls

Turn comes 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Villain bets, Hero calls

River comes 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villain bets, Hero raises, Villain calls.

Should be standard, I think.

I like it.

I'd just go ahead and raise the turn.

But, arguing on the side of the way you played the hand, i guess waiting for the river to raise can't be that bad if you felt this villiain was capable of laying down a hand on the turn, so might as well let him bet with his 2nd best hand at the river too.

I don't even raise the flop.

River is more passive in general than the turn, and he's more likely to call the river rather than 3-bet in the extremely unlikely chance he does have trips.

I prefer raising the turn. The 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] could have given him a straight draw or, more likely, a flush draw that he's semibluffing with. By raising now you get an extra bet out of that sort of hand, and he'll still probably pay you off with a hand like KQ regardless of whether you raise the turn or the river. Since this particular opponent is inclined to miss value bets, I think that makes a raise on the turn even better, since he may just check/call the river with a hand like top pair even if you just call on the turn.

brazilio · #9 09-27-2005, 02:26 PM

I thought about that, and KQ[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] through KT[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] are paying me off regardless, and he's not betting the flop with 98.

Not until somebody convinces me otherwise.

Edit: And why is he called a lagtag? He seemed a bit weak-tight to me given the earlier hand. Do you mean he was aggressive preflop? If so this might make me want to raise sooner than the river.
