    This guy is very LAG but am i right in thinking A9 doesnt play like this.

    CO ($5.20)

    SB ($1.77)
    BB ($9.48)

    No way I'm folding with that read + action.

    Yes, A9 and a lot softer nines as well play like this.

    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    To me it seemed as though he had a weak hand on the flop but he liked it on the turn. I thought he could have a 2. Also im losing to any overpair or set. I folded at the time but a few hands later i saw him lose half his stack overplaying middle pair in a pretty similar situation to this.

    The turn bet says to me "I still have a piece of it and am not going away to your flop raise." A passive player might play a 2 like this, but the aggro nut-jobs generally have 2 pair here. The terrible LAggs slow down when they hit big because they don't understand that over-playing weaker holdings allows them to fast-play their best hands and expect to get paid off.

    A4h plays this hand exactly the same way as well.

    Ok so if you had to stick a percentage to it, what sort of chance do you think im:

    1) ahead to a worse made hand - need to value bet/raise
    2) ahead to a draw - need to bet/raise
    3) Behind - need to fold

    Not a fan of how you're approaching this problem.

    He's bet the scare card into you and put a lot behind in behind it. You've looked at this and though you're no good. Does he really call preflop with a x2? If he has quads or FH does he play it this fast?
    My anser to most if not is all. Get it all in or at least find a reraise here of some sort. If he pushes i think you still have to call. These plays are the sort i make money on. I'm making this raie/push 80% of the time

    It wouldnt surprise me to see A2s or something.

    The last time i made this call against this type of player he showed Q6s on a flop of 6K6. I had AKs.

    It worries me when these guys make such huge overbets.

    I will start to call these though and see how it turns out.

    i can understand the need to find a fold here.
    I just think you might find yourself good more often than not to make showdown +ev

    Don't fold good hands to this guy. Just don't.
