Overpair facing check raise from LAG

[FirePhil]

There will be MUCH better spots to get your money in against a player this loose. His range here is pretty big, I probably would have re-raised pre-flop to shut out the blinds and gain some info.

Hi Woody,

Interesting to work out what he had. If it was me making those bets then I would have had a hand with potential to make the small preflop raise and in this case I would guess 6s6x. I can't see him making the big raise on a potential straight after the flop cos I cannot see him making the small raise on a 34 or 89 before it. I think he has 5s6s6h6x7s with an open straight possiblity and flush possibility, fullhouse, 4 of a kind and trips in the bed with an outside chance of a running flush too. On the other hand he may have had bugger all and worked out that you would fold if he got a frightening flop and supported it with a bet big. Could have been playing the board and the player with nothing in his hand.
