Weird spot with top two pair.

Villain is 80/40 and a total nutcase. Haven't seen him get all in too much, but he's pretty aggressive postflop. I don't know how he plays draws.

His openlimp preflop could mean anything, but don't cross out big hands, he just openlimped an AJo last orbit.

Given the fact that its an unraised pot, is calling spew?

I'm not laying it down on that board against someone with those stats. How often is this an overpair, flushdraw or straight draw? I think often enough that calling is good. If villain is a TAG then it's an obvious fold to an AI given preflop.

Easy call against this guy

Against this guy I call every time, and then smash my keyboard to bits when he shows he actually has a hand for once.

Against almost any other guy but this guy fold.

You could consider folding bottom two, but not top 2.

Wtf? 80/40? Calclallclalcalclalclallclalc.

renton,

I usually feel bad about these spots in unraised pots as well, but against this guy, who seems like a total fish and whom you have described as aggro postflop, you have to call. I expect to be beat here quite a few times, not enough for a call to be -EV though.

whats that saying about going all-in in unraised pots?

Given the fact he's a complete nutcase though i dunno if i could fold it.

Good point. If he's a nutcase, you could find a better spot very soon. The fact that you said he doesn't push much despite being aggressive leads me to say this. If you didn't make that comment, I call this every time. I probably call anyway knowing he'll donate it back.

OK, just making sure, he had 46o.
