    Default Two wtf hands from tonight $100NL

    This opponent is a very good LAG. He has 3-bet me like crazy from the blinds when I raise from the BU. I don't think I've seen him flat call PF before. He is definitely capable of air here.

    BB ($458.50)
    Hero ($132)
    MP ($691.70)
    Button ($54.20)
    SB ($114.35)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, J.
    Hero raises to $4, MP calls $4, 3 folds.

    Flop: ($9.50) 5, 2, 2 (2 players)
    Hero bets $6, MP calls $6.

    Turn: ($21.50) K (2 players)
    Hero bets $14, MP raises to $42, Hero??

    This guy is a pretty big donk; I'm not sure how he got his stack. He makes huge overbets preflop but this is the first time he's done it to me. He prolly views me as laggy; and I've showed down some crappy hands. I'm raising the BU a huge range here of course. Do you push?

    how long did it take him to raise in hand 1? is it possible for him to have like 32s/42s/etc? or AA/AK/KQ?
    a standard range is 22/55/bluffs. still is prob best to fold...but i might call.

    hand 2 - has he shown anything after doing this, or generally been doing it a ton? i prob push, but some ppl do this with QQ+ and just call TT/AK.

    Hand #1: It's really tough to say because beating a LAgg in marginal spots like this is dependant on knowledge of his post-flop game which we can't see from this HH. I'd just say fold because his bet sizing looks like he wants to get it in on the river.

    Hand #2: I push. It might be the first time he has done it to you, but your read is he's a donk and they don't pay attention to what you've been doing.

    It was like 3 seconds I guess.
    What bet are you willing to call on the river?
