    Default QQ vs. LAGG

    Villain is 50/19 and loves to call when I raise. He has outplayed me post flop for an hour or so. I've had nice hidden draws that never hit and he kept putting pressure on me when I couldn't take it. We were testing eachother back and forth but he got the best of it. He is capable of having any two. He has never pushed a hands we've been in however. He's always made value bet type raises.

    Should I just push over his check-raise? Should I even consider folding?

    I hate those types of villains and don't know what the right answer is. I think if you make a stand with the hand it's on the turn but I'd probably fold to the check-raise and try stacking this guy with something better later. It's pretty obvious to him what you've got.

    From the villains perspective, I have a really good hand when I run this line on someone I've been winning lots of pots from.

    Push turn. Call river.

    Make a stand.

    I fold, the board is way to scary.

    he does give you the low limit I HAVE A SET line: check/call flop, check/minraise turn, open push river here. now you have to find out how he REALLY plays flopped sets OOP for future interactions. this type of player is often more interested in playing the situation than his or your cards so keep that in mind against him again.
    In answer to your question... it depends...

    you have to fold the river. LAGs can have hands sometimes too. i fold the turn some too.

    Did you call him and that is what he had???

    AJ os??

    Anyway, with your raise he puts you on AA 55 at the best.

    Assuming you knows what hands you play.

    Open ended straight with 55, this guy could have A5 or 76 suited or even K5 suited.

    How about A2 suited?? This guys range is almost unlimited, I think u should let it go. It seems like he was slow playing you for an aggressor, or finally hit something like a straight.

    You can also check the turn and let him represent a 5.
