My revenge hand:

Dealt The Ten of DiamondsThe Ten of Clubs in the BB. Button makes a raise to $18. Lag calls in the SB. I repop for $45 more making it. Only the Lag calls.

FLOP$ 144
The Queen of ClubsThe Two of ClubsThe Queen of Diamonds

He checks. I bet $120. He calls. He has floated on this like me a billion times now.

TURN
The Queen of ClubsThe Two of ClubsThe Queen of Diamonds The Six of Clubs

I have $244 left and push after he checks. He calls with AQ.

River
T !!!!!!!!!!!

any comments on that hand? perhaps I should check the turn.. but then don't i have to call any bet on the river?


IMO turn bet is a big mistake here. He would have reraised 99+ preflop. So his range after he called your CB in a RERAISED pot is like Qx, flush draw, 22, and occasional small PP 33-88. If you bet turn he is going to fold all small PP and call with Qx and flushes.
As for calling a bet on the river that depends on the dynamics, but I doubt that he would bluff 88 on a blank river, because he has enough od showdown value against a possible missed AK.

Hands like #1 and #2 are why youve been breaking even for so long. Its so much easier to fold preflop and not get put into these spots.

Then on the river when you call, it looks like a great call when you win but you look like a total moron when you lose and you'll lose alot more often.

You dont need to call a LAG down with 5th pair to beat him.

But against a LAG you should generally tighten up...

depends on how bad a postflop player he is...

Theres not very many good LAGs

OK, let me rephrase. There arent very many LAGs who win more money off of me than I win off of them. There are a few that I avoid, but not very many.

Thats doenst mean that they arent still winning LAGs, just that they arent beating a good TAG (me). Most good players (both TAGs and LAGs) are going to take money from the avg player. What Im saying is that there arnet that many LAGs that are good enough to consistently take money from me so in that sense, I dont think they are "good LAGs"

I obviously have to adjust my game to beat them, and its higher variance, but I dont need to call them down with 5th pair.

My point was that I think Kennys been doing things like that way too often the past 4 months during this extended break even stretch.

...yup, that's what I was meaning too. Just get back to ABC dude...seriously.
