A hand for review
We are five handed, effective stacks are $100. The CO is a very loose and aggressive opening a lot of hands and making lots of continuation bets, sometimes on multiple streets. His stats are 36/29 over about 70 hands at the table.
UTG folds, CO raises to $4, button and SB fold, I call in the BB with 64
Flop 6A
3
I check, CO bets $7, I call.
Turn 4
I check, CO bets $13, I make it $36, he pushes for $90 total and I call.
How did I play the hand? What hand(s) do you think he might have?
Are we assuming the blinds are 0.50/1?Originally Posted by PokerWoody

Considering the type of player he is i dont mind the way you played this. Putting him on a hand with such a wide range is sometimes hard. However he may have been playing a semi decent hand this time. Maybe overplaying AK or some trash like that. I would rule out a set as most fish check the flop hoping to trap. If he has 5,2 i will wet myself

Personally, I dont mind this play but I'd like something a tad stronger to stick my whole stack in against a player who can have anything. Aces up here and I'll play this exactly the way you did, but with middle two I'm not so sure.
I might just call the turn and call the river bet / bluff, unless I improve. Then get involved with something stronger at a later time.
I see this happen all the time, some loose aggressive type fish raises way too often and then once u hit something against him he tends to have the goods.

Calling from BB is OK. I would have bet post-flop, rather than checking, though. You've hit mid pair and you would also be representing the A.We are five handed, effective stacks are $100.

His range is huge!
Don't tell me he had 52 and you rivered the 6???

Yeah i bet the flop about $6, but im fine with the turn action, hoping he hasnt got 2 pair with ace rag. He must have some hand though if he's going over the top of a substantial re-raise by you. However giving his range and the amount in middle i call too
Why? (Not necessarily against this, just interested in the reasons for doing it)
Woody I think you played it ok against that kind of player. With the turn call you'll probably be behind a fair bit, just about every hand that beats you is in their range here but so are some bigger one-pair aces (and maybe smaller ones too) and there's always a few bluffs in there when people lose the plot a bit. Getting about 2.7-1 looks good enough for me here.
Looking at the flop call though, what was your plan for the turn if you hadn't improved? Floating OOP can be a very difficult line to play, but you could reasonably expect to have the best hand pretty often too when a LAG has opened from the CO.
I'm surprised people think I played this okay, I actually think it's pretty bad.
Its because of the way you said the player was LAG. This play is OK regarding the way he has played. Any other player and i would have rammed your ski mask up your ass for being a donkey

Why is my play okay because he's a LAG? I think I like my line less because he's LAG.
Against LAG players 2 pair is normally good enough as they tend to bluff with shit.
From a few hands i played back last week against a LAG player i have noticed on fairly safe boards like this i become a calling station till the river. Then when they fire the 3rd bullet i re raise and get those g's
